t The following remarks of Peter Collinson, quoted by Dillwyn in the Hortu^ Collin- 

 sonianus, p. 36, will help to account for the extinction of this and other orchids at Hare- 

 field. ' There is one MUes, a parson of Cowly, near Uxhridge, who is orchis mad, takes 

 all up, leaves none to seed, so extirpates all wherever he comes, which is cruel, and 

 deserves chastisement.'
