NOTES; 
British Orcutps.—Mr. C. B. Tahourdin, of Baynards, Wallington, 
Surrey, has compiled ‘“‘Some Notes as to British Orchids,” an 8-page 
pamphlet containing notes of his own searches, press imformation, and 
correspondence, and intended solely for private circulation amongst those 
whom he knows to be interested in British Orchids. 
Dr. J. TRoyANowsky.—Many of our readers will be interested to learn 
that after a lapse of six years we have received a letter from Dr. J. 
Troyanowsky, President of the Moscow Orchid Society, and the author, im 
1913, of an important work on the cultivation of Orchids in Russia. The 
doctor describes the sad and terrible times, and records the loss of his wife 
through cold and severe privations. But to our great surprise he adds the 
welcome information that about one-third of his Orchids are still alive. 
HorrticutTuraL SocieTY OF FRANCE.—The President of the Société 
Nationale d’Horticulture de France is Monsieur Viger, and Monsieur 
Chatenay is the Premier Vice-President. There are six other Vice- 
Presidents, one of whom is Monsieur Julien Potin, who also has the honour 
of being President of the Orchid Committee. In our note on the new 
Senus Potinara, page 110 of our last issue, we inadvertently referred to 
Monsieur Potin as the President of the above Society. 
New Orcuips.—The issue of parts 19-30 of Repertorium specierum 
novarum, by Dr. Friedrich Fedde, completes the 17th volume ( 1931) of 
this useful work. During the past year Decades LXVIII-LXXIIL of 
“Orchidaceee nove et critica,” by Dr. Rud. Schlechter, have been 
published. Among the novelties is the new genus Endresiella. Contribu- 
tions by Dr. Fr. Krinzlin comprise “‘ Orchidaceae Teniane Yunnanenses, 
Orchidacez novee, and Masdevallie nove,” the latter containing descrtp- 
tions of 44 new species, three of which belong to the section Scaphosepalum 
and 
two to Cryptophoranthus. oa
