photographed labels, like the sample enclosed, the original being written
on the type-writer, and the number being a multiple of the total wanted
Suppose we got, at Council Bluffs, 55 celeripes, 38 cuprascens, 27 lecontes,
all on sand-bar along the river, 10 splendida, back along an embankment of
clay, and 3 violacea in the woods, on June 2, 1906. Then we could write
{ 11 labels C celeripes | 8 C. cuprascens | 6 C lecontes

Of course those marked X could be used over and over again for any number

Will write again soon,
