A pocket contains a copy of Curtiss' 1905 publication entitled List of series III. of Curtiss' West Indian plants : collected in the province of Havana, Cuba, in 1904-05, and five small fragments of notes and collection labels. This list was likely compiled in the NYBG Herbarium; the original field notes for Britton's 1903 specimen numbers 1-523 can be found in Field notes Vol. 157, and for Taylor's 1906 specimen numbers 1-570 in Field notes Vol. 158
