-376 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [DECEMBER, 1915. 
sections of the community bound together by various descriptions of 
common interest have helped, and that Orchid growers might raise a fund 
of their own for this purpose. It is a praiseworthy object, and we know 
that it has already been considered, but there are difficulties in organising a 
special fund, and, moreover, we know that Orchidists have largely supported 
their own local funds. At the same time there may be readers who are 
‘not in touch with local funds, and we shall be happy to forward to the 
proper quarters any contributions that may be entrusted to us for this 
‘purpose. We specially mention this, because sympathisers in America 
have answered our appeal to the Prince of Wales’ Fund for sufferers 
-by the war. 
It will be seen from our advertisement pages that there is a vacancy in 
the island of Jersey for an Orchid grower, who is required to take charge of 
-an amateur’s collection. The locality, we believe, is a favourable one, and 
it should afford a good opening for a competent man who is seeking such a 
situation. 
SOPHROCATLALIA Or1oN.—A handsome hybrid from Cattleya Fabia x 
-Sophrocatlelia Menippe, of which a flower has been sent by Messrs. 
‘Charlesworth & Co., Haywards Heath. It has an expanse of: 3} 
inches and the sepals and broadly ovate petals are bright rose-purple, 
while the lip, which measures 2} inches long by 14 inches broad, is 
-of an intense velvet crimson. The Sophronitis influence is largely 
-eliminated.
