47^ ORCniDACEAE 



Is recorded for the counties of Oxfordshire, Surrey, and Wilts, and the 

 Isle of Wight, but I am afraid it is extinct in Oxford, and there is some 

 doubt as to the Surrey record ; O. arachnites has also been reported for the 

 latter county.]

 specimen was contributed by Mr. Bicheno. See Winch MSS. 



4. Kennet. West Woodhay Downs, 1895, Miss Beales. 



Probably this is the locality where Mr. Bicheno originally found it 

 in the county. I owe the knowledge of its recent occurrence in the 

 county to Mr. A. B. Jackson, and in 1896, owing to Miss Beales' kind- 

 ness, was enabled to see it growing ; it is limited to a small area of the 

 Chalk downs just within the county. 



H. Monorchis is recorded for all the bordering counties.
