Obs. l have, under Anemia, assigned my reasons for 
assigning these six species to Mohria; five of them forma 
truly natural distinct group, the sixth (M. aurita), differing 
only in the pinnules of its sterile frond being entire, but, 
since it coincides in other characters, the entire pinnules 
are no reason for its being excluded. 
136. Trocnopreris, Gard. 
Fronds 5-lobed, depressed, the two lower lobes contracted, 
laciniated, crinite and fertile. Veins flabellate, dichoto- 
mously forked; Venules direct, free; Sporangia terminal, 
sessile, oval, vertical, naked. 
Fronds subrotund, $ of an inch long by X an inch wide, 5- 
lobed, villose, depressed, horizontal; becoming successively im- 
bricate ; the whole plant forming a flat circular patch, not 
more than 13 inch in diameter.

Obs. This interesting little Fern has been fully described 
in this journal by its original discoverer, Professor Gardner. 
In affinity it comes nearest Anemia, of which genus, accord- 
ing to my view, it may be considered a modified form, the 
two fertile lobes being analogous to the two fertile appen- 
dices of Anemia. The very dissimilar habit prevents their 
being associated, and upon the same principle, it is also 
distinct from Mohria, for the fertile lobes are analogous to 
a fertile segment of the frond in that genus.
