Dear Dr. 3chlechter: 
I roade up my mind this morning that the New 
Year would not find me delaying further with the Chinese orchids 
arid if no unforeseen obstacle prevents^ 116 sheets oi mounted 
material and 19 unmounted duplicates will he on their way to 
Berlin to-morrow. Among the mounted specimens I have marked sev¬ 
eral from which you are to remove specimens for your herbarium. 
There are nine in all, making a total of 28 duplicates for your 
herbarium. Should any of the mounted specimens prove to he new 
and no duplicates indicated I shall be glad on the return of the 
sheets to divide with you where there is an opportunity to re¬ 
move olants or fragments. This I feel sure you will consider 
more than fair. 
Wilson 42 mounted sheets. 
" 19 unmounted duplicates. 
Mdire 15 mounted sheets. 
Henry 54 w H 
Prazer 1 H " 
Ford 1 " ” 
Faber 1 " " 
McGregor 2 mounted sheets. 
For your guidance I have prepared the list which appears 
above. X want you to determine the species as promptly as 
possible. If there are any novelties I can publish them here if 
you do not wish to bother with writing. Let me know your wishes 
in the matter and £ shall be pleased to cooporate with you.
