356 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
three months’ leave. Mr. Moore came out from home about eighteen years 
ago, as a teacher in the Rangoon College High School. There he remained 
for some years under the late Mr. Gilbert, and in 1888 was appointed to the 
subordinate commission. Much of his service was in the Shan States. 
Four years ago he came to Rangoon as Magistrate of the Western 
Sub-division.” Mr. Moore was ill from fever when he left England, and 
this was intensified by a chill, caught by sleeping on deck in the Red Sea, 
and followed by heart complications, from which he succumbed. 
Mr. Moore will be remembered by Orchidists for his discovery of the 
beautiful Cypripedium Charlesworthii—of which a coloured plate was 
given in our first volume—C. X Fred Hardy, C. bellatulum album (both 
also figured in these pages), Dendrobium sarmentosum, and Vanda X 
Moorei. He also sent many of the showy Burmese Dendrobiums and other 
Orchids to the establishment of his brother, Mr. J. W. Moore, of Rawdon, 
near Leeds. He had an excellent knowledge of the showier Burmese 
Orchids, and our readers will specially recall the most interesting article 
from his pen, ‘‘ Orchids of the Shan States,’ which appeared in our 
second volume (pp. 169-172), in which the discovery of Cypripedium 
Charlesworthii is detailed, and information given respecting the habitats of 
other Burmese Orchids. 
GEORGES WaRocguE.—La Semaine Horticole for October 28th, 
announces the death of M. Georges Warocqué, of Chateau de Mariemont, 
near Charleroi, Belgium, which took place at Pekin, China, where he was 
travelling, and at a time when he was about to return home. 
M. Warocqué was a great lover of Orchids, of which he had a very fine 
collection, and at the Ghent Quinquennial Exhibition in 1893, he gained 
second honours for a magnificent group of one hundred plants, besides 
gaining first prizes in other classes. In 1898 he was one of the jurors of © 
Orchids, but not an exhibitor. His name is commemorated in Stauropsis 
Warocqueana (Rolfe in Lindenia, viii. t. 319). Cattleya Warocqueana was 
also named after him before its identity with the old C. labiata was known. 
F, CANHAM.—The death of Mr. F. Canham, for some years gardener to 
C. H. Feiling, Esq., Southgate House, Southgate, is also announced, as 
having taken place somewhat suddenly on October 30th last. The 
deceased was brother to Mr. Chas. Canham, for many years Orchid grower 
to Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, and was an excellent all round gardener. 
Although not formerly a professional Orchid grower, says the Gardeners’ 
Chronicle, when Mr. Feiling wished to include a good collection of Orchids 
among the subjects in his gardens, Mr. Canham_ undertook their 
management, and with the same good results which followed his endeavours 
in other branches of his art.
