that you write directly to Mansfeld upon the subject. 
xhe Berlin people, for the most part, have been active in 
forwarding Macbride's work of photographing types, and the 
project has succeeded beyond our expectations. Macbride will I 
know, be glad to make for you any special photographs for which 
you may ask him. 
, ^ there is an^ assistance that I can give in connection 
with the orchid work, please let me know. As soon as Macbride 
returns from Europe, whenever that majr be, I hope to go to Ec- 
uajor for a rather extended collecting trip. I am hoping that 
illiams also may go there, and work along the eastern side of 
the Andes and in southern Ecuador.
