100 ABOUT ORCHIDS. 
Savannah visited; as, for instance, Catt. superba 
does not grow at all in the district where Catz. 
Lawrenceana is to be found, but far further south. 
Before closing, I beg you to let me know the 
prices of about twenty-five of the best of and 
prettiest South American orchids, which I want 
for my own collection, as Catt. Medelli, Catt. 
Triane, Odontoglossum crispum, Miltonia vexillaria, 
Catt. labtata, &c. 
I shall await your answer as soon as possible, 
and send you a list by last mail of what is to be 
got in this colony. 
We also found on our last visit something new 
—a very large bulbed Oncidium, or may be Cata- 
setum, on the top of Roraima, where we spent a 
night, but got only two specimens, one of which 
got lost, and the other one I left in the hands of 
Mr. Rodway, but so we tried our best. It decayed, 
having been too seriously damaged to revive and 
flower, and so enable us to see what it was, it not 
being in flower when found. 
Awaiting your kind reply, 
Yours truly, 
SEYLER. 
P.S.—If you should send out one of your 
collectors, or require any information, I shall be 
clad to give it.
