Moynihan, Director, Canal Zone Biological Area, Drawer C, Balboa, C.Z. Dear Dr. Moynihan: I refer to your letter of July 9 regarding where D. carbonaria and [[underline]] lafresnayi [[/underline]] might be found in close proximity. I am addressing this letter care of Dr. Lehmann in accordance with your request. The delay in answering is due to my ill health. I am sorry. I am attaching a list of all our specimens. You will see that only at the following localities did we find the two species together: [[underline]] Páramo Tama [[/underline]], Táchira. Not recommended as need a camp with mules. Not reached by auto. [[underline]] Páramo Zumbador, [[/underline]] Táchira. Recommended as can collect from auto. [[underline]] Paramo Aricagua, [[/underline]] Mérida. Not recommended as you need Mules . Auto does not get there. [[underline]] Téleferico [[/underline]] Recommended, but you say you have failed to see [[underline]] lafresnayi [[/underline]] there. I trust tat this information will be of use. Kindly write tome for anything additional. Very sincerely, William H. Phelps [[signed]] WHPhelps [[/signed]]
