good examples of Spathoglottis x aureo-Vieillardii, Disa x Veitchii, D. x 
kewensis, D X Diores, some good hybrid Cypripediums, &c. The rare 
Colax viridis was also shown. and received a Botanical Certificate. 
Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., Bush Hill Park, Enfield, sent Cattleya 
Mossiez Reineckeana, and a larger form called C. M. Duke of Teck, also 
_ C.M. Disciplino, having lavender veined petals and a rich purple-crimson 
lip with agar margin. 
Mr. J. Keeling, Cottingley, Bingley, sent a fine raceme of 
Saicbiuns calceolare, having orange-buff flowers, without the maroon 
- blotches at the base of the lip. 
Messrs. Paul & Son, Cheshunt, sent some fine spikes of a supposed 
natural hybrid, called Orchis x folioso-maculata, with spikes of the supposed 
parents. It was fairly intermediate in character, the flowers being purple, 
and most like the Madeiran O. foliosa, with the leaves handsomely spotted. 
At the meeting held on July 17th there was a further falling-off in the 
number of exhibits, though some of them were of great interest, especially a 
new hybrid Phaius from the collection of N. C. Cookson, Esq., which | 
gained a First-class Certificate, and a flower of Masdevallia deorsa, from 
_ Glasnevin, the first produced in this country, we believe. There was also a 
fine display of paintings of Certificated Orchids. The members of the 
Orchid Committee present were :—H. J. Veitch, Esq. (in the chair), and
