UDER DIRECTION OF
THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION 
WASHINGTON [[/letterhead]] March 7, 1885

Professor S.F. Baird,
Director of Museum.
Sir,
During the month of February much time has been expended in rearranging the collection. The specimen of cinchona bark from Costa Rica has been examined and contains 0.8% total alkaloids, which, however, have not the bitter taste of cinchona alkaloids!
Very respectfully,
H.G. Beyer
Curator Materia Medica
