FiLICES. 

 Trichomanes reniforme, Forst. f. 



This is an extremely rare fern in Stewart Island. Kirk (Trans. N.Z. 

 Inst., vol. xvii, p. 230) gives Paterson Inlet and Half-moon Bay as its 

 habitats, writing, " Restricted to a few square yards above high-water 

 mark in each locality." Mr. J. W. Murdoch informs me it occurs at Kai- 

 pipi Bay, Paterson Inlet. 



Trichomanes strictum, Menzies. 



Recorded by Kirk for Stewart Island only on Ulva. I have also noted 

 it in a moist gully in the forest west of Half-moon Bay.
