My dear Dr. ■ Schlechter:

Now I come to a very important point. I note how 
you sign your name in the case of G’robya, that is directly under t,h® 
name of the Subtribe Grobyeae, 1 Put when you treat a single genus this 
met,hod will mees things up as the citation of the original publication 
comes directly under the generic name. I propose the following' way out, 
and I think it has very great advantages.

Thi@ beginning of a genus page baa the disadvantage of a repetion of the 
generic name. In any case it would be a good thing to get this data on 
t,he genus cover. Please think deeply o,n this matter and let me have your 
views by return mail. 
You may not object to ». break in the continuity of the work by

Wj*i should settle this matter right, away as I want, to get, our' work out, 
at, the earliest possible date.' Give me more than one example of what, 
would be in aooordan.ee with your taste in the matter'. 
If you are willing' that I shoul d do the Bletilleae please send me 
any data, that, you t.hihk I' should have.. I' would then finish this g'roup 
s 
and add to it several small genera as a second contribution to the Folia. 
Cal opogon and Arethusa surely should be mine se I live with them. I' know 
Crybe too.;
