Dear Brent et al;

I have a book, Plant Hunters in the Andes, by T. Harper Goodspeed and
published by Farrer and Rinehart, Inc., dated 1941.  The countries
covered are Peru and Chile, Paraguay Argentina and Uruguay, with a
little about Equador. This was a trip sponsored by the University of
California Botanical Gardens  1935-36 and 1938-39 I suppose others have
this book? It makes for interesting reading. Cheers, John E. Bryan
