NOTES. 
SEED RalsinG.—I would be very glad if someone could tell me of any 
means to get rid of the small midge or moss fly which does so much 
damage to Orchid seedlings in the very early stages. I believe that many 
Orchid growers lose a number of the little seedlings before they are large 
enough to be transplanted from the seed-bed; I certainly do. One does not 
feel inclined to fumigate at so early a stage. Is there any means of killing 
the fly without damaging the seedlings ?—B. Bracey, Sawtelle, California. 
CLock For THE LINDLEY Lisrary.—It is generally admitted that the 
late Sir Trevor Lawrence inherited much of his love for Orchids from his 
mother, Mrs. Lawrence, of Ealing Park, who was a keen amateur and 
frequent exhibitor. Many of the medals which she received from the 
Horticultural Society were by her instructions melted down and converted 
into a handsome bronze-figured clock case and stand, and this has recently 
been presented by her grandson, Mr. Aubrey Lawrence, to the Royal 
Horticultural Society for use in the Lindley Library. 
CIRRHOPETALUM ANDERSONII.—This interesting as well as pretty 
species was exhibited by Messrs. Sanders at the meeting of the Royal 
Horticultural Society, August 9th. It is one of the species figured by King 
& Pantling in Orchids of the Sikkim-Himalaya (t. 124), with the remark :— 
‘Collected only twice—once by the late Dr. T. Anderson, after whom it is 
named, and once by Mr. Pantling.” It was found in the valley of the 
Teesta, at an altitude of about 1,500 feet. The scape bears from six to 
twelve flowers of a delicate pink, with minute spots of a darker tint. This 
species closely resemble gamosepalum, Griff., which produces a scape 
decurved from its base. 
—— 
CoRYANTHES MACULATA.—This curious and interesting species is a native 
of British Guiana, where it was found by Mr. Ankers. It flowered for the 
first time in England in the Botanic Garden of Liverpool in June, 1831. 
Dr. Lindley remarked of this species that ‘‘it is not uncommon in the
