The third paper of this series is essentially like its predeces¬ 
sors, the last number of which was published in February, 
1932. 1 The present paper contains the descriptions of six 
hitherto undescribed species and one variety, with notes and 
redescriptions of Dendrochilum Weberi, Gastrochilus calceolaris, 
and Microsaccus Wenzelii, as well as a record and description 
of one species ( Cymbidium pubescens) previously described from 
extra-Philippine material now found for the first time in the 
Archipelago. All the illustrations and the descriptions in the 
text have been prepared from living plants. The colored illus¬ 
trations and ink sketches were made by Messrs. J. M. Salazar 
and P. Ramos, draftsmen of the division of botany, Bureau of 
Science. Plates 11 and 12 were executed by F. Guerrero, a 
draftsman of the same division. All the types of the new species 
and varieties have been deposited in the herbarium of the Bureau 
of Science, with the isotypes in the herbarium of the senior 
author. Available isotypes will be distributed to the herbarium 
of the New York Botanical Garden and other herbaria.
