CLASSIFICA TION. 4 1 



America (except Neottea, which is plentifully distributed 

 through both) and are abundant in Europe, North Amer- 

 ica, and even have twenty-eight representatives from 

 Ophrecz in Siberia, which class also gives one hundred 

 and thirty-five species to South Africa ; the tribe Are- 

 thusece is very largely represented in New Holland, there 

 being no less than one hundred and fifteen species. 



It must, however, be stated that this tabular view of 

 Dr. Lindley is by no means complete ; the number of 

 species has largely increased, especially in the three 

 tribes Malaxecz, Epidendrece, and Vandecz. We give it as 

 the best that has yet been presented.
