with by Mr. N. Taylor on the Endeavour River. But I made 

 a mistake in placing N. fragilis, Hook, among our ferns, as it 

 seems not to have been found within our border. The following 

 genera are placed under Folypodium in the Flora : — Goniopteris, 

 Presl., G. Ghiesbegliill, Lind., Handbook, as P. Hillii, Baker, and 

 G. Kennedy, F. v. M., of Handbook, is found identical with G. 

 urophylla, Presl., Folypodium rugulosum is called P. punctatum, 

 Thunb ; our JDictyopteris, Presl., is P. attenuatum, R. Br., Gonio- 

 phlehium, BL, falls into Folypodium, Linn., Nijylioholus 2Juberulus, 

 BL, into P., acrostichoides, Forst. The very small Niphobolus, 

 always considered as N. conjiuens, R. Br., is made identical 

 with N. rupestris, Spreng, and called P. serpens, Forst., while the 

 name P. conjiuens, R. Br., seems to belong to the elongated form 

 of N. rupestris so common in Queensland. Fleop)eltis, Humb. and 

 Bon. ; this small genus is placed under Folypodium. P. lanceola, 

 Metten, to P. simplicissimum, F. M., P. pustulata, T. Moore, to 

 P. scandens, Forst. Folyiyodium nigrescens, Bl., found on the 

 Daintree by Fitzalau, must be added to the Queensland ferns, 

 having been overlooked doubtless many times by collectors from 

 its resemblance to P. pJiymatodes, L., a widespread species. 

 Drynaria, Bory, also is placed in Folypodium, altering D. diversi- 

 folia, J. Sm., to P. rigidulum, Sw. The gener& Folystichum, RoLh, 

 Sagenia, Presl., Nephrodium, Rich, Lastrea, Bory, Nephrolepis, 

 Schott, with Folypodium pallidum. Brack, are all placed under 

 Swart's genus Aspidium. With regard to the last, A. tenericaule, 

 Thw., I must think some mistake has been made, for in the figure, 

 in Hooker's Species Filicum, no indusium is shown, and I have 

 watched our Queensland plants, and never saw, on young or old, 

 the sign of an indusium. I do not find Lastrea acuminata, T. 

 Moore, in the Flora. This species, or the Brisbane River variety 

 of it, is, so far as I have observed, exindusiate, and thus a true 

 Folypodium. The species to be added to the Queensland ferns 

 are A. tenerum, Spreng, a fine species abundant along the 

 Brisbane River, and A trunca.tum, Gaudich, a northern species, 

 allied to A. molle. Sm. The alterations in nomenclature are 

 Sagenia mela^wcaulon, Sm., = ^. conjiuens, Metten, Nephrolepis 

 repens. Brack, and N. altescandens, Handbook, = ,4. ramosum,
