ium. Most of the specimens of the last collection, in the 
Gray Herbarium, have been annotated by Reichenbach 
and some of them are probably isotypes of Reichenbach- 
ian species. Unfortunately the specimens of this collec- 
tion are unnumbered and consequently, unless they have 
been annotated by Reichenbach, are occasionally difficult 
to place. 
It is hoped that all the species which have been de- 
scribed or reported from the Fiji Islands are included 
in this paper, but it is quite probable that a few have 
been overlooked. All the specimens which I have seen 
and have been able to determine are cited. ‘Those which 
I have not seen but which were reported in literature as 
having been collected in Fiji have been included and en- 
closed in parentheses to indicate that they have not been 
seen. 
There are probably a few species included in this re- 
port which do not occur in Fiji. Possibly some of these 
species, representatives of which I have not seen, may 
belong to genera other than those to which they have 
been referred. 
The range, beyond Fiji, of all the species of orchids 
is given in general terms. ‘These statements of range have 
been taken from various sources. Most of them have been 
derived from literature, but some have been taken from 
specimens in the Ames Herbarium and in the Gray Her- 
barium. No particular attempt has been made to verify 
the occurrence, outside of Fiji, of any plant reported in 
literature. 
Thanks are due to Professor Oakes Ames who has 
assisted in many ways and to Professor Elmer D. Merril] 
who has been kind enough to loan the orchid part from 
his Polynesian index, thereby greatly simplifying the 
enumeration of the Fijian orchids.
