I am today in receipt of your valued letters from -cans

My dear hr Ames: 
BALBOA, C. Z., PANAMA

reading, which I have enjoyed to the fullest. Many thanks for 
your thoughtfulness in sending me so much interesting data. 
The first thing I wish to take uy is the subject of the 
” Ty-ye " labels. I have been laboring under the idea that you 
wished them on all syecimens when your specimen and Dr Sehlechterv 
were tauten from the identical *iant. I now understand that you 
wish them used only on MMl SxBClhS determined by Dr Sehlechter. 
and then only when the same *lant furnishes the syecimens 
As I have only tisea them on one lot of Syecimens- that of July 2- 
not much harm has been done,and it can be readily corrected. Will 
you kindly remove it from all in that lot exceyt the following: 
no 51 Lockhartia, aurantiaca _ no 126 Sea-yhoglottis, dolichoyhylla 
Mo 214 Maxillaria, ^ubilabia _ no 225 Hexadesmia, j.owellii _ no 
232 Steilis, Isthmi _ #0 234 Steliis, *raemosa. 1 will be careful 
in the future over this matter, and 1 regret my not fully comyre-r 
hending the trend of your wishes. Kindly ylace the " Ty^e ” 
label on the following heretofore sent to you and not labeled: 
no 14 Cycnoches, guttulatum __ Mo 7V Rodriguesta, secunda, v *ana- 
mensis _ no 91 xleurothalis, verecunaa _ no i 72 neurothalis, 
diuturna _ no 182 rleurothalis, rhodoglossa. The rigid restric¬ 
tion reduces the number of labels to a very small number for the 
% 
V yf If 
Syecimens already sent. There will be others, ^which will be used 
as the syecimens are yreyared.
