Mr. Stephens frequently contributed articles to the Bulletin, the 

 last being on a new form of covering for a plant house, published in 

 the September Bulletin. He was much interested in horticulture and 

 especially in the cultivation of orchids, of which he obtained many 

 interesting species on the Thaiping Hills, including the curious 

 Cymbidium with which I had the pleasure of associating his name, 

 some years ago. He was fifty-three at the time of his death, and had 

 been about 35 years in the East. — H. N. R.
