Tn addition to the species described, the following occur in tropical Polynesia :—1. Doodia media, 
R. Br. Prodr. p. 151, from New Caledonia (M‘Gillivray ! Vieillard) and Sandwich Islands (Barclay ! 
Macrae!). Mettenius (Filie. Hort. Lips. p. 66) erroneously quotes D. lunulata as Mr. Brown's name for 
this species. Perhaps the error crept into his ms. from observing a specimen of the species in Herb. 
Banks. named Polypodium lunulatum, Soland. ms. 2. D. Kunthiana, Gaud. in Freye. Voy. Bot. p. 401,

Ovalau, mountains, woods (M*Gillivray !) ; Viti (U. S. Expl. Exped.). 
The genus Sadleria is confined to the Sandwich Islands. There appear to be two well-marked species :
