184 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Trevor Lawrence was certainly missed, though we believe that the ap- 
proaching marriage of Sir Trevor’s son, and the natural desire to preserve 
as many flowers as possible for the occasion, was the principal cause of an 
absence which we hope will be only temporary.

Chair, and Messrs. E, Ashworth, H. Ballantine, W. A. Bilney, T. W-
