We are under obligations to Mr. A. P. Morgan and Prof. Tre- 
lease for the examination of specimens. 
We have followed Saccordo in most cases in the arrangement 
of the genera.

_ these plants into a cigar box once, and in a few hours many spo- i 
rangia were found fastened to the sides of the box.
