grew on a vine about one hundred feet above ground. The vine 
was on a tree that took four hours for four axemen to bring 
down. The leaves have a varnished surface^, mirrors for your 
butterflies to gaze in. I suppose the leaf-structure has been 
modified to meet epiphytic conditions. In every way the spec¬ 
ies looks nice a terrestrial. 
l!y field work in Honduras was con- 
" region aroun Tela* I covered many miles of terri- 
t.as I had plenty of mules and a railroad automobile al¬ 
ways at my disposal. I made one trip to Truxillo, but the 
country in the region I had time to explore ms most dis¬ 
appointing. The resident collector is the man who strikes 
twelve most frequently. The time element with him is a sec¬ 
ondary consideration and the seasons come to him with the 
procession of the flov^ers. 
Two days ago I s nt off to you a long 
list of determinations. I hope you will be able to send me 
more ample material of some ofthe rare species. 
I would like to have a full sheet of 
ja a£hr. Q ffl Str a , Sohltr. If you can recognize any 
o-l the Lepanthes spp. from my descriptions I hope you will 
collect more specimens as the material at hand is too scanty. 
1 wish we could get out another number 
of Sched. Or eh. based on your work. We might beat Sehleehter 
and give him food for thought.

Additional drying paper and some mail¬ 
ing tubes have been sent to you. Before you get these I hope 
the man who has your others will produce some results.
