ENUMERATIO FILICUM, 
By R. K. Gnrviiie, LL. D., & Wm. J. HOOKER. 
Part I. LYCOPODINEA. Sw. 
Tue following list of Ferns has been compiled principally 
for our own convenience. The Icones Filicum is indeed 
brought to a close with the 12th Fasciculus, the last which 
was contemplated; but having other illustrative works in 
view on the same subject, we have felt the necessity of 
drawing up a Catalogue of all the species to which we have 
access, either in our own extensive Herbaria, or through the 
medium of descriptions. In order to render this list more 
‘intelligible, short characters of the new kinds are added, 
with some remarks, where we have deemed them requisite, 
in a view to the more correct determination of the species. 
As we have found such a Catalogue very useful to our- 
selves, it has occurred to us that it might also prove service- 
able to others; and if it should in any way facilitate - 
researches of those who have undertaken the study of this 
beautiful family of plants, we shall not consider the labour 
bestowed in the preparation of it to have been in vain. — 
The present Number of the Botanical Miscellany contains 
the Lycopodinec, a tribe than which perhaps none in the whole 
range of Filices presents greater difficulties. Of a large 
proportion of its published species, the characters drawn up 
by preceding authors have been only intended to contras! 
the individuals under consideration with the few previous! y 
known; and as no writer, since. the time of Swartz.
