in the dark. As a matter of fact, Schlechter was not -tee familiar as he|ehould hay® 
been, with the types of the Mexican and Central American species of Spidendrura. 
I have over sixty new species to describe from Costa Rica. 
My intention is tof'get these out next autumn. If you have any suspects among your 
recent finds, send them to me at your earliest convenience so that they may be 
studied and pushed into the light. 
Tour photographs are certainly welcome. I sill think your 
results would be better if you used a reading glass wfeen focusing. The Zais lens 
I sent to you is capable of doing outstanding work in the direction of detail. 
The landscape pictures are excellent, but I am not sure that your loeal expert 
gets the best results in developing and printing. Would it be a good plan, do you 
thank, to send m one of your film packs for treatment here? Surely the United 
Fruit office would see to it that anything sent to me would come through without 
abuse in the Custom House at Hew fork or Boston. 
It seems a very long time ago when your last package of 
specimens came in. Are you too busy to satisfy ray inordinate cravings for a few 
crumbs from your feast? 
Faithfully yours.
