The specimens cited above agree exactly with the figure given by Hookcr,^^ but a 
species very close to this, recently described by Copeland, seems to be more counnon 
and widely distributed. It is larger, more pubescent, and with the basal pinnule 
of the III order anteriorly very much augmented. It is:

148, of which I had prepared the following diagnosis before learning that Copeland 
had already described the species.
