I append a list, in duplic».'oe, of rUfferences between the two papers, in which are Inserted a few of ray own comnents. There are a few nattera in which I woiild like advice from you before narking the paper: 1. I asstune thrat ne will use araall let ers for species names throughout. 2. Fittier has sjrnonyms placed in footnotes. Would it lie better to put them immediata^ following the valid name'' 3. Do you prefer to have local names in italics or in ouotes; capitalized or nof 4. I believe we decided to eliminate Pittier's coraaon name where it is nerely a translation of the Latin. I pros-'me therefore that where his transiatsiJ naae accurs in the text it would be best to sub- stitute the fall Latin nana. Eespectfully,.
