In your last package there were one or two interesting species that will prove to 
be additions to your list, I got these out this forenoon and just as soon as I finish 
with a few of Lankoator*s numbers, I will have a go at yours. 
I hope you not Tm Barbour, He promised to get in touch ti th you and he assured 
me that he would send to you any orchids he happened to find in Ms wanderings after 
zoological material. 
In your last package I found a pair of your forcops. I sent these to you by re¬

I have not heard from 5chiochtor/@ii®Sber. This I do not understand, unless he is 
ill,or angry about something* I think ho resents some of the notes that have appeared 
in Sched. Oroh. as they correct some of his slips and refer to some of Ms bad blunders. 
Furthermore, I am afraid that he resnts what ho considers my effort to tako away from 
him your valued assistance. As to this, you know perfectly well that there is notMng 
in our relationship that indicates unfairness or imderhandedness whore Schlecther is 
concerned. But, ho is a queer follow, if I am not mistaken in ay judgement of him, 
and I know that ho fools hurt when anybody jostles Ids, 
I sometimes wish that I had nothing to do and twenty-four hours to do it in, but 
with the world full of people who need what little I am able to give in the way of 
assistance, 1 have to keep buoy. A friend of My daughter's asked her the other day 
how I happened to single out orchids for a professional venture. He wondered why Nas¬ 
turtiums would not have done as well. Is it not fortunate that wo differ in our outlook 
on life and that some of us still find time for the beautiful as well as the useful in
