I think now that I oan settle the Hasdevallia Livingstoneana 
Question pretty definitely. !h*s. Ames is preparing a plate from the 
alcohol specimens and will show the range of forms. This plate will 
come out shortly in Sohed* Orch. 5. 
t 
I wish I could spend the rest of my time until June on Lankeser 
material. 3ut I have finished up everything. I am waiting impatient¬ 
ly for him to send me another bundle of specimens. He ought to have 
some ready for mo pretty soon. 
I note what you say about additional funds. I will await your 
pleasure in this matter. 
'hat a joy it would be to have the opportunity to examine your 
Chiriqui specimens in your company. I surely wia$ I were in Balboa 
just to help you at your task. 
. The following numoers are needed to round out your set so far 
as new species are concerned. iios. 20, 23, 29, 111, 124, 141, 156f 
159, 173, 185, 227, 245, 250, 257. 
I am expecting many new things from your Chiriqui expedition. 
As I look the ground over I do not believe you have begun to get all 
the new things. 
I hope you will find some terrestrials during the wet season. Be 
sure to teaoh your assistant what these things look like. 
My time is up. 
Yours faithfully.
