31. J. procumbens, n. sp.; fronde implexa simplici lineari 
tenui subacuta uninervia margine integerrima mascula 
acuminata atque in serie conferta lineari antherifera. 
Has. St. Helena. 
Patches several inches wide, pale sap-green. Fronds about 
-one inch long, simple, yet sometimes appearing branched by 
a young shoot arising from the nerve below the frond. Male 
flowers aggregated in a linear series extending at each side 
of the nerve near the top of the frond, consisting of minute 
imbricated scales, under which sometimes the teguments of 
the anthers may be detected. Sometimes the frond increases 
by a new narrow shoot from the broader summit of the 
older. 'The simple fronds and the linear series of clustered 
male flowers may serve to distinguish the present from its 
congeners.

32. J. incisa, n. sp.; fronde cæspitosa carnosa atro-viridi 
plana enervia inciso-ramosa lobis pinnatis linearibus apice 
latiori bilobo integerrimo subdecurvo. 
Has. Lord Auckland's group. 
No fructification present, but analogy suggests the genus. 
Tufts quite black when dry, when moistened the younger 
Parts assume a dark olive-green colour.  Fronds nearly 
two inches long, lobes scarcely one tenth of an inch 
wide, all nearly in the same plane; pinnules very short 
and obtuse ; the substance carnose and tough. The 
bilobate termination of the fronds, with a dark point at 
the bottom of the sinus corresponding to the place of the 
receptacle of the fruit, induces us to prefer placing this specie: 
under Pellia, Raddi, than under Aneura, Nees.
