ENUMERATION OF CHINESE FERNS. 
By Fleet-Surgeon CHARLES GEEKIE MATTHEW, 
M.B., R.N. (retired), F.L.S. 
[Read 2nd February, 1911.) 
THE system of nomenclature and conception of genera used in this 
Enumeration are those of Diels, as accepted by Christensen in his ‘Index 
Filicum.’ 
Cross-references are given in many cases where the identity of old and 
well-known species is veiled under newer and less familiar names. 
Nephrodium, Richard, has been retained for the reception of a few species 
which have recently been described under that generic heading or have 
escaped re-naming into Dryopteris by Christensen. 
The references given do not necessarily apply to the original descriptions 
of the species, but to records of their occurrence within the Chinese area.
