OPHIOGLOSSACE^. 



897. BoYTRYCHiUM TERNATUM, Swartz. — Mr. S. T. Carley furuishes 

 the following information regarding this species: The frond makes its ap- 

 pearance in July, and the fertile part soon matures ; the sterile portion per- 

 sists till within a month of the time for the new frond to appear. In win- 

 ter it is copper red, and in the spring changes to the original green of the 

 young frond. 



CHARACE^. 



899a. Char A coronata, Ziz. — This appeared in a tub of water-lilies 

 near Lovelaud. The interesting genus, of which there are many species in 

 the United States, has not been studied in our section. The canal basin 

 near the Work-house, Ross Lake and similar places, will probably yield 

 several species.
