 flora of the northern slopes of the range and more 

 particularly that of the western parishes would be of 

 much interest and probably reveal many novelties.

from correspondents any of those thus indicated or 



any authentic Jamaica Ferns not included in tins List.

 of ike British West Indies " reference should be made 

 for synonymy.
