SECOND REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FLORAL 
AREAS. 
Tuis committee published in October and November, 1918, a 
report on the New England Ranunculaceae. We have now prepared 
a similar report on Polypodiaceae, Schizaeaceae and Osmundaceae. 
All our species of these three families are native, none introduced, 
and they have been extensively collected and reported upon. More 
material is needed, however, for adequate reports on the lady-fern 
group. Merely formal varieties and casual hybrids are omitted, 
as their ranges are not of value here.
