are more rectangular being disposed in subconcentric zones and 

 longitudinally arranged in a flabellate manner. The longitudinal 

 flabellate rows of cells seem to be alternate in their arrangement, 

 the lateral new series being derived from an oblique partition of the 

 median series as it appears from the growing margin. Thus a new 

 series alternates with the next older ones on the opposite side and 

 so on, and the median series grows centrifugally. 



Teti'asporic sori are produced in marginal fasciculated laciniae 

 with the spores disposed in a single longitudinal row and several rows 

 are arranged somewhat ilabellately in a common expansion. Each 

 series sometimes shows a tendency to separate from the other to 

 form its own erect or slightly curved polysiphonous stichidium, as it 

 is understood from the upper free portion. Autkcridia are transform- 

 ed from often fasciculated hair like processes arising on the sides of 

 the upper portion of the frond which are constructed at the beginning 

 of a single longitudinal row of cells, but they become afterward lanceo- 

 lato-oblong with very minute colorless globules very densely disposed 

 around the axis. A single basal cell forms the pidicel-cell of an 

 antheridium. Frocarps are produced on a slender hair-like process 

 standing on the side of upper branches. Cystocarps roundish-ovate, 

 sessile, furnished with a terminal pore. Pericarp formed of longitudi- 

 nal rows of cells running from the base to the carpostome. Spore.i 

 obconic or clavate. Colour somewhat vinoso-red or brownish, turning 

 to darkish in drying. Substance sofc membranaceous, and the plant 

 does not adhere to paper in drying.
