Pelleea densa, Gymuogramme triangularis, 

 Lomaria Spicant, Xephrodiumrigidum, (A. argutum, 

 Polypodium Scouleri, Kaulf.), 

 intermedium, and Aspidium munitum, 



thus giving British America a known fern-flora of sixty species 

 of which twenty-eight occur on the Rocky mountains. 



On another page is given a list of the ferns of Labrador which 

 includes gome species not hitherto published. Thanks to Mr. 

 Beckct (one of the staff of the Geological Survey of the Island) 

 and to Dr. Bell (this journal vol. iv. 1869, p. 256) we have now 

 a tolerably long list of the ferns of Newfoundland though doubtless 

 eight or ten species more would reward any careful collector. It 

 is as follows : — 

 Onoclea seusibilis, A^eplirodium fragrans (Bell), 



"U^oodsia Ilvensis, Filix-mas cKunze), 



glabella (Becket — robust spiuulosum (varum et 



specimens like some of dilatatum), 



Macoun's from Lake Superior), Polypodium Dr^^opteris, 



Cystea fragilis, Phegopteris, 



bullDifera, vulgare, 



Pellsea gracilis, Osmunda regalis, 



Pteris aquilina, Claytouiaua, 



Aspleuium viride (Becket), ciunamomea, 



thelypteroides (Bell), Botrychium Lunaria (Lyell), 



Filix-foemina, teruatum (Hookerj, 



Aspidium aculeatum (Bell — the virginianum (Hooker).

A list of the ferns of Greenland, an outlying province of North 

 America but with a European flora even along its western 

 shores, has an interest in this connection. It is copied from Prof. 

 Lan2:e's eatalo2;ue in Rink's ''Gronland" the author's nomencla- 

 ture being preserved.

Mrs. Lyell adds Woodsla glabella and Asplenium viride without 



in the State of New York, should be unknown on the east side of the 

 Rocky mountains in British America and unknown on the west side in 

 the United States. Its Br. Am. station is on the authority of Kew 

 specimens collected in 1861 on Galton mountains by Dr. Lyall of the 

 Oregon Boundary Survey.
