I have just heard from Dr. Schlechter that 
he intends to go to Vienna the last of this month or early in 
February. I hope his trip will be a profitable one and that he will 
secure for me a pretty complete record of Reichenbach's American 
types. 
Under anothercover I am sending to you a brief 
paper in which I described seven new species of Panaman orchids. 
Late in February I hope to be able to send you volume seven of my 
Orchidaceae. This volume will have material in it that you will 
find useful. 
Dr. Standley must be in Guatemalaby this time. 
I am expecting from his exploration of Salvador some interesting 
additions to the flora of that little known territory. 
In my reference to Darwin r s book on the fert¬ 
ilization of orchids by insects I should have told you that I have 
in my library a copy of the first edition made up of the proof 
sheets sent to Asa Gray with a letter from Darwin and with Gray r s 
annotations in the margins. Quite a treasure I 
With the best wishes in the World, 
Yours sincerely,
