I am indebted to Dr. Trimen for the loan of the only known 
specimen of Thwaites’ Ania (Tainia) maculata, which belongs to the 
Herbarium of the Peradenyia Gardens. Having found it to a 
Ohrysoglossum, I described it as such, and returned it; a fact which 
I had forgotten when many months afterwards I took the genus Tainia 
in hand. This accounts for my having inadvertently included it (follow- 
ing Thwaites) in the latter genus, as a species unknown to 
return of the loan by Dr. Trimen has enabled me to give the accom- 
panying figure of this unique plant. The fact that the four Indian 
species of Chrysoglossum are as yet represented by solitary examples 
of each, shows how little is known of Indian Orchidew.—J. D. H.
