1. С. subauriculatum, Presl, Tent. Pter. р. 186; rhizomate repente, pallide fusco; stipiti- 
bus elongatis, semiteretibus, antice canaliculatis glabris, basi incrassatis et paleaceis ; frondibus mem- 
branaceis, glabris, pinnatis, pinnis sessilibus subalternis patentibus lineari-lanceolatis acuminatis 
serratis basi cuneato-truncatis; soris orbiculatis, approximatis, semiserialibus.—Polypodium subauri- 
culatum, Blume, Fil. Jav. p. 177. t. 88. Goniophlebium serratifolium, Brack. U. S. Expl. Exped.

XXXV. Niphobolus, Kaulf. Enum. Fil. p. 124. Sporangia арісе v. latere venularum libera- 
rum v. anastomosantium imposita, іп soros globosos cyclosos v. ellipticos collecta. Venæ interne 
obscurz, v. pinnatæ prominentes, venulis anastomosantibus ultimis liberis divaricatis.—Filices rhizo- 
mate repente v. decumbente ; frondibus simplicibus v. lobatis, rigidis, coriaceis, presertim subtus 
squamis peltatis stellato-ciliatis, v. pilis stellatis dense v. sparse obtectis; soris uni- v. pluriseriatis, 
sepe confluentibus.—Cyclophorus, Galeoglossa, Scytopteris, Spherostichum, Polycampium, Apalo-

The following species are also found in tropical Polynesia :—1. M. tricholepis, Carr. ms. (Polypodium, 
Mett.), from Society Islands, Tahiti (Andersson, Vesco, Vieillard, Jelineck, n. 152). 2. N. serpens, Carr. ms.

Kaulf.), from Society Islands, Tahiti (Banks and Solander! Barclay! n. 3325), Raiatea (A. Collie !).—The 
locality given by Forster (Prodr. p. 81) is most probably a mistake; it should be Society Islands rather 
than New Zealand. 3. N. aerostichoides, Carr. ms. (non Presl). (Polypodium acrostichoides, Forst. Prodr.
