1922] Fernald,—Notes on the Flora of Western Nova Scotia 159 
The more important range-extensions and observations of the 
summer are enumerated below; as in the previous enumeration the 
species new to Canada (37) are marked **, the additional ones (25) 
new to Nova Scotia.* 
WooDWARDIA VIRGINICA (L.) Moore. Besides occurring as already 
reported, in Yarmouth and Queens Cos., the Chain Fern is character- 
istic of boggy shores and thickets northeastward through Digby Co. 
to Annapolis Co. (near Lamb's Lake; near Liverpool Head L.) It 
is frequent throughout Shelburne Co., sometimes, as at Harper Lake, 
reaching a height of 1.7 m. 
W. AREOLATA (L.) Moore. Rather frequent in the Tusket Valley, 
north to Pearl Lake, Kemptville and east to St. John (Wilson) Lake; 
splendidly developed in the sandy alluvium and lake-margins of the 
Roseway River system, Shelburne Co., plants from near the head 
of McKay’s Lake, Middle Ohio, measuring 7 dm. high. 
ATHYRIUM ACROSTICHOIDES (Sw.) Diels. Rich woods on north 
Mt., Belle Isle, Annapolis Co. 
A. ANGUSTUM (Willd.) Presl, var. eLATIUS (Link) Butters. Swampy 
woods on slopes above Lahave River, Bridgewater, Lunenburg Co. 
THELYPTERIS SIMULATA (Dav.) Nieuwl. Reported from Yarmouth 
to Queens; but now known eastward to LUNENBURG Co.: knolls in 
boggy thicket by Wile's (Oakhill) Lake. Extending north in Yarmouth 
nad Shelburne Cos. to Kemptville and to Jones Lake, Roseway River. 
THELYPTERIS Boorru (Tuckerm.) Nieuwl. At various stations in 
Shelburne and Lunenburg Cos.

Woops! ILVENSIS (L.) R. Br. Basaltic cliffs and ledges, Shofel's 
Mt., Sandy Cove, Digby Co. 
SCHIZAEA PUSILLA Pursh. Additional stations indicate, with those 
already recorded, that the Curly Grass is to be expected in proper 
habitats in all acid areas in the province. Unrecorded stations are, 
for Diapy Co.: forming a close turf with Vaccinium Oxycoccus and 
Rynchospora alba at peaty border (many acres) of Tibert Lake, Free- 
port,—this, probably the most extensive station known for the 
species, within a few rods of the Bay of Fundy; wet sphagnous 
hollows in peaty savannah along The Brook, Central Grove. SHEL- 
BURNE Co.: depressions and knolls in sphagnous bog near Birchtown 
Brook; moist depressions in sandy Corema-heath and in wet sphagnous 
bog, Hope’s Lot Barrens, Clyde River; wet mossy hollows in savannah 
east of Jordan Falls. 
LYCOPODIUM INUNDATUM L., var. BrgkLovit Tuckerm. Reported
