CATTLEYA SYBIL VAR. Lorp KiTcHENER (C. Dowiana aurea X 
itidescens)—A very brilliant hybrid out of the same batch as the seven 
figured at page 265, and most like C. iridescens in general character. The 
flower was of fine shape and substance, the sepals and petals deep chrome 
yellow with a slight rosy shade, and the front lobe of the lip ruby-crimson, 
with the broad isthmus and small side lobes deep orange yellow. The 
plant was small, and bore a single flower, and the pseudobulbs were one- 
leaved. It should develop into a superb thing. Exhibited by Messrs. 
Hassall & Co. (See page 297, fig. 35)-

The Society’s Hall has again been commandeered for military purposes, 
and the meeting of September 22nd was held at short notice in the Central 
Hall, Westminster, the site of the old Westminster Aquarium. It is a 
spacious under-ground apartment, lighted by electric light, which rendered 
it very difficult to judge the colour of the flowers. Two rooms, one at 
fach end of the Hall, were illuminated by daylight, and were monopolised 
“i vegetables, which were practically the only things that could be viewed 
under normal conditions. 
The Committees sat in an annexe at the side, 
Sloom, the Orchid Committee being represented as follows: J. Gurney 
Fowler, Esq. (in the Chair), and Messrs. Jas- O’Brien (hon. sec.), W. 
Bolton, J. Wilson Potter, F. J. Hanbury, F. Sander, Walter Cobb, R. G. 
Thwaites, T. Armstrong, J. Charlesworth, W. H. Hatcher, C. H. Curtis, 
A. Dye, E. H. Davidson, S. W. Flory, Gurney Wilson, R. A. Rolfe, and
