Cf. your letter of November 
Your unnamed Maxlllaria specimens have come in and I intend 
to work on them at once. The Epiden&rum mentioned in your postcard 
has not arrived. I imagine the Christmas mil has been pretty 
irregular. 
In your letter of the 10th, November, you refer to a Stenor- 
rhynchus species on which you asked for a report* I cannot place 
this. What was the number. The only specimen!In your set is 500, 
on which I reported last summer. (Cf. Sehed. Groh. 6, p. 8,). 
I dont remember having sent any unnamed Stennorhynchus to be mounted 
and I cannot in the wilderness of bottles you have created, locate 
the specimen without r umber.

343. 1 am calling Polystachya Powellii sp. nov. 
In your letter of the fifth December, you refer to your plans for 
another expedition. When I send you your next check, and I expect 
to get this off tomorrow, I will feel that I have for the present 
taxed my capacity in the way of orohiu-finducing• If by the middle 
of January, I can see my way clear to do so, I might send you 
an additional one hundred to help out on the trip to Ver&guas Prov¬ 
ince, over and above the regular $200. that comes due in the course 
of our agreement. 
How about Cana| Williams got things there that I have not 
seen since. He got that big Pleurothallis praegrandis there that 
I described in Sehed, Groh. An enormous plant, and the only specimen 
is in the He?/ York. hot. G-ard. Herbarium. I am figuring this i n 
Sched. Orch. 7 which I held up on the receipt of Sohlechter's paper. 
( This number, by the way, ought to go to press any day now. I am 
still waiting for the plates of Pleurothallis before printing.). 
Yours faithfully,
