ORCHIS HIRCINA IN SussEx.—In The Ento psiskiaieet for 1907, 
p. 300, it is stated that a blocs of the Lizard Orchis found in 
Surrey ” were exhibited by Dr. G. G. C. Hodgson at a Aare of 
the City of London Entomological Society on Oct r. G. 
Hodgson, who has made a close study of all the Buitish Orokclen: 
and has drawn and photographed oop all the species, tells m 
that this should be Sussex, where it was found in the western 
Hesse the toe A in July, 1907. I was shown, too, one of its 
rs preserved in spits and photographs of the freshly- 
gathered plant which now rests, in a dried c ondition, in the 
herbarium Be ASO. Eats s this occurrence is of great 
interest, it cp vibe be out of place here to review all the known 
county records as far as I can ascertain for this rare and dis- 
appearing British plant. 15. Kent t Kast. About ten stations on
