NoveMBER, 1913.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 341 
forwarded consignments to Chelsea, after which he joined Endres in Costa 
Rica, in search of the long-desired Odontoglossum Warscewiczii (afterwards 
called Miltonia Endresii), which was successful, for he brought a few living 
plants to England with various other Orchids, though the majority perished 
en route. 
A. R. Endres was a half-caste who had been employed, through Mr. G, 
Ure-Skinner, to collect Orchids in Guatemala for Mr. James Bateman. 
The latter afterwards recommended him to Messrs. Veitch, for whom he 
collected in Costa Rica from 1871 to 1873, part of the time in company 
with Downton. His introductions include Miltonia Endresii, Crypto- 
phoranthus gracilentus, Polycinis gratiosa, Epidendrum  Endresii, 
Masdevallia Reichenbachiana and _triaristella, and Cattleya Skinneri 
alba. He also sent home a batch of the beautiful yellow C. Dowiana, 
then extremely rare. 
Gustave Wallis, formerly a collector for Mr. J. Linden of Brussels, 
entered Messrs. Veitch’s service in 1870, and was sent to the Philippines, 
principally to collect Phalznopsis, and during the expedition discovered the 
two striking Cypripediums, Argus and Haynaldianum, also Dendrobium 
amethystoglossum. Two years later he went to New Grenada, where he 
discovered the very distinct Epidendrum Wallisii, Masdevallia peristeria 
and gargantua, Odontoglossum prznitens, Oncidium anthocrene, Pescatorea 
Dayana and lamellosa, Cypripedium caudatum Wallisii, and various other 
interesting things. 
Walter Davis was sent to South America with the special object of 
securing a quantity of the brilliant Masdevallia Veitchiana, then extremely 
Scarce, in which he was successful, besides discovering other striking 
Orchids; M. Davisii, Barlzana, and ionocharis, Cypripedium Boissierianum, 
Lycaste Locusta, and others. It is said that during his four years’ stay in 
South America Davis crossed the Cordillera of the Andes no fewer than 
twenty times, at elevations of 14000 to 17000 feet, and traversed that vast 
Continent from one side to the other, along the whole length of the Amazon 
valley. 
Mr. Peter C. M. Veitch made a long sea voyage in the interests of the 
firm, leaving in 1875 for Australia, whence he proceeded to the Fiji and 
South Sea Islands, New Zealand, and New Guinea, finally joining F. W. 
Burbidge in a collecting expedition to Borneo, and returning to Chelsea in 
1878. Although twice he had the misfortune to lose his collections by 
shipwreck, he sent a number of interesting things home, among the Orchids 
attributed to him being Dendrobium arachnostachyum, Petri, and 
tipuliferum, and Spathoglottis Petri. 
Guillerme Kalbreyer made a short trip. to West Africa in 1876, during 
which he discovered Pachyvstoma Thomsonianus and_ Brachycorythis
