indeed, looked upon the very large size of the blossoms in 

 C. Mossiee as one of the marks of specific distinction, when 

 compared with C. labiata : but, in the present instance, by 

 skilful management, the true C. labiata presents flowers 

 nearly, if not quite, equal in magnitude to those of C. 

 Mossias; but the uniform deep blotch on the lamina of 

 its labellum remains unaltered. We are indebted to Mr. 

 Moss, of Otterspool, for the present splendid specimen, 

 which he received from Trinidad ; but it had been sent to 

 that island from the Spanish Main. The species is too well 

 known, and has been too often described, to require any 

 further elucidation than that afforded by our figure. 



We are requested by the Very Reverend the Dean of Manchesteb 

 to insert the following in some vacant space.
