the underside of the roof lantern. The latter is of glass, consisting of three 

 central arches surmounted by a lantern for ventilation. The building is- 

 heated by steam at low pressure, and the electric light is installed, so that 

 the Hall is well adapted for its purpose. There are also two annexes, 46 

 feet long by 24 feet wide and 17J feet high, in one of which the Orchid 

 Committee sat. 



H. T. Pitt, Esq., Rosslyn, Stamford Hill (gr. Mr. Thurgood), staged a 

 select group of Orchids, to which a Silver Banksian Medal was given. It 

 contained a fine specimen of Laelia xanthina, the handsome Cattleya X 

 Thurgoodiana (Lueddemanniana X Hardyana), most resembling the latter 

 but with a paler lip, C. X Mrs. J. W. Whiteley, the beautiful Sophro- 

 cattleya X Chamberlainii, Epiphronitis X Veitchii, Phalaenopsis amabilis 

 Kimestadiana, the handsome Stanhopea tigrina, Nanodes Medusae, Lycaste 

 leucantha, Cypripedium callosum Sanderae, Odontoglossum crispum, &c. 

 A Cultural Commendation was given to a fine well-grown specimen of 

 Odontoglossum Uroskinneri album. 



Jeremiah Colman, Esq., Gatton Park, Reigate (gr. Mr. Bound), also 

 obtained a Silver Banksian Medal for a good group, containing the beautiful 

 Sobralia X Veitchii, Cattleya Leopoldi, C. Warscewiczii, C. X Patrocinii, 

 C. x Mrs. J. W. Whiteley, Stanhopea tigrina, S. Wardii, Lycaste 

 leucantha, Epiphronitis X Veitchii, Cypripedium callosum Sanderae, a fine 

 plant of Laelia xanthina bearing sixteen flowers, &c. 



The Right Hon. Lord Rothschild, Tring Park (gr. Mr. Dye), sent two 

 very interesting plants. A First-class Certificate was given to Angraecum 

 infundibulare, a remarkable species which has not previously appeared in 

 cultivation. The flowers are very large, fragrant, and borne singly on the 

 elongated stems. The sepals and petals are narrowly lanceolate, over two 

 inches long, and greenish, and the lip large, with a white expanded limb, 

 and a greenish funnel-shaped spur, terminating in a long slender tail. It is 

 said to have been sent home by Major H. B. Rattray, from the Victoria 

 Xyanza, Uganda, in 1902, a locality far distant from Prince's Island, where 

 the species was originally discovered by Barter. An Award of Merit was 

 given to Cattleya X Patrocinii Tring Park van, a large and handsomely 

 spotted variety. It was from a batch raised at Tring Park from C. Leopoldi 

 X Loddigesii, of which four other more ordinary forms were also shown, 

 two of them being practically identical with the wild form. 



J. Wilson Potter, Esq., Elmwood, Croydon (gr. Mr. Young), received an 

 Award of Merit for Odontoglossum Uroskinneri splendens, a very large and 

 handsome variety, having the sepals and petals yellowish, heavily marked 

 with chestnut brown, and the lip almost entirely covered with dark rose 

 marbling.
