H. G. KEICIIENBACH ON CHYTROGLOSSA. 



97 



Journal by Mr. Fitch. All I have to observe respecting them, is 

 that I did not see the two divisions of the callus of the second 

 species so connate as they have been observed by our excellent 

 artist. Had I known of these beautiful drawings, I would not 

 have prepared the far inferior representations of both species for 

 my Xenia Orchidacea, tab. 148, from wretched specimens. 



I add the Latin technical descriptions and diagnoses, of which a 

 translation by the Editor will be found below.
