Some Lankaster species arrived last week via Hew Gardens. I found 
several new tilings among them and these are already in press and a 
copy of the paper will he sent to you just before I leave for the south 
on February first. The next number of the Sohedulae, by the way, will 
prove interesting reading for you. I am anxious to keep this little 
journal coming along at frequent intervals. I have big plans for its 
development and I believe we can make it a most important addition 
to the literature of Orohidology. Just think what the next number 
should be if I aip able to devote its pages to the orchids of Honduras 
or to an account of my studies there. 
I do not believe that you have scratched the surface of Panama. 
There are so many things that you seem to have missed entirely! I 
am looking for as many new things as Sehlechter seems to have found 
among your collections. I am afraid, however, that s/ome of Schleeh- 
ter’s species must come tumbling down unless he has made sweeping re¬ 
visions in the published paper. Jy this time you have undoubtedly 
realized the truth of ray surmises as to the methods of hasty deter/ 
minations. tMiMP 
If you will turn back to some of my earlier letters to you,you will 
find that I was not far from the truth as to the simplicity of 
making determinations for temporary effect. However, the past is the 
past, and some of us dont see the glass in our houses. We throw 
stdnes with impunity. You must bear in mind, nevertheless.that the 
m to / 
art of determining orchids is not in the realm of imunity ,££&2l/orror. 
I may not write again before departure. 
Yours sincerely, 
.
