136 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Chelsea. Bifrenaria Harrisoniz flowered in the collection of Mrs. Arnold 
Harrison, of Aigburth, near Liverpool, having been sent by her brother at 
Rio. Dendrobium aqueum, Eria flava, and Bulbophyllum Careyanum 
flowered with Mr. Shepherd, at the Liverpool Botanic Garden. Ccelogyne 
fimbriata, the earliest cultivated species in the genus, flowered in the 
Horticultural Society’s garden, at Chiswick, having been sent from China 
by Mr. J. D. Parks. Ornithocephalus gladiatus and Pholidota imbricata 
flowered at the Glasgow Botanic Garden, Eria stellata with Mr. Cattley, 
at Barnet, and Oncidium pumilum with the Rev. Mr. Herbert, at 
Spofforth. 
It is evident that at this time Orchids were steadily growing in 
popularity. The following note from the sixth volume of the Transactions of 
the Hortscultural Society (p. 83), published in 1826, throws further light on 
the subject: ‘“‘ The Society has, by singular exertion, succeeded, in two 
years, in forming such a collection of this tribe of. curious plants as was 
never seen in Europe before. It consists of about 180 of tropical kinds.” 
From various notes here and there to be found we learn that they were 
generally potted in a compost of moss and sawdust, or rotten wood, with 
some peat or vegetable earth, and sometimes an admixture of loam and 
sand, and that they were usually grown in stoves heated by hot-air flues. 
It is also certain that many of the tropical kinds were cultivated with 
considerable success.

MoULMEIN is, of all hunting-grounds, the most prolific in Orchids. Any 
one visiting Kew, and going through Mr. Parish’s interesting notes and 
drawings of the Moulmein Orchids, will at once realise this. 
It is not only worth while visiting Moulmein on account of the great 
number and variety of Orchids to be found in the surrounding country, but 
also for the great beauty of the scenery. On entering the Salween River, 
from the Gulf of Martaban, after passing Amherst, the traveller is at once 
struck, not only with the richness of the tropical vegetation on each bank of 
the river, but with the great beauty of the scenery which opens out as he 
advances. In the wide plain, through which run the various rivers which 
join the Salween, are seen limestone hills, rising perpendicularly out of the 
flat delta, of most fantastic shape; and these are again backed up by the 
range of mountains which run along the frontier, and separate Burmah
