PLANTS OF KOHIMA AND MUNEYPORE. 95 
Mr. Hope, Mr. Blanford, and Col. Collett all admit this to 
specifie rank ; Mr. Baker will not. 
NEPIRODIUM COCHLEATUM, D. Don. 
Kohima, alt. 5000 feet. 
N. seAnsUM, D. Don ? [? n. 41867 |. 
Kegwima Edge, alt. 7500 feet | Naga Mills].

brunneis ornato. Frons pedem longa, bipinnata, coriacea. 
Pinne secondarie j unciam longe, curvate, oblonge, inciso-

ibus. 
I first named this as “ Filix-Mas,” near var. * khasiana,” and 
Mr. Baker thinks that the right place for it. 
N. EXTENSUM, Hook. 
Kohima, alt. 5000 feet. 
N. PROCURRENS, Hook. et Baker. 
_Nambre Forest, alt. 400 feet [Naga Hills). 
N : ARIDUM, Mook. et Baker.

Col. Beddome has very carefully examined this fern, and has 
_ demonstrated that it is equal exactly to a part (the Chittagong 
portion) of the material collected under N. pennigerum, Hook., 
var. multilineata (sp., Wall.), in Trans. Linn. Soc. ser. 2, vol. i. 
p- 522. Col. Beddome considers that the Wallichian N. multi- 
lineatum (Wall. Cat. 353) is a mere variety or form of N. penni- 
gerum (as reckoned in Trans. Linn. Soc. l. c.); but that n. 40852 
is the type of a new well-characterized species. Col. Beddome 
gets rid of N. amboinense, Baker, altogether by sorting the mate- 
rial to N. molle and elsewhere. But Mr. Baker thinks that a 
 Willdenowian name should not be got rid of without necessity, 
and that my n. 40852 does not differ even as a var. from the Javan 
specimens of N. amboinense named by Mettenius. 
N. GLANDULOSUM, J. Smith, var. LATE-STRIGOSA, C. B. Clarke. 
- Jirie-Ghat, alt. 300 feet: West Muneypore [n. 42581]. 
Iam indebted to Col. Beddome for the identification of this
