(Presented May 28, 1886.) 
The discovery, since the publication of a revision of Canadian Filicineæ by Professor 
Macoun and myself in the Transactions of this Society for 1884, of several ferns, not hith- 
erto regarded as Canadian, and additions to the stations recorded for some of the rarer 
species therein mentioned, leads me to hope that a brief supplemental paper on the same 
subject will not be quite wanting in interest, and to facilitate reference, the numbering 
of the genera, etc., in the previous article, has been retained through this. 
ORDER.—OPHIOGLOSSACE®, Lindi. 
Genus I—OPHIOGLOSSUM, Z. 
1.—0. vUuLGATUM, LZ. The unknown Nova Scotia station of Professor McCulloch 
(vide “ Canadian Filicineæ ” in Trans. Roy. Soc. Can., Vol. IF, Sect. IV, p. 174), has prob- 
ably been rediscovered; Mr. Campbell, a student of Dalhousie College, having in 1884 
found it in a field near Truro, at which place Mr. McCulloch used to live. Low meadow, 
Port Stanley, Elgin Co., Ont.—J. Bowman. 
Genus I1L—BOTRYCHIUM, Swz. 
1.—B. LUNARIA, Swz. Open spaces in damp, grassy thickets at the Hudson’s Bay 
Co.’s post on Lake Mistassini, and in a similar locality near the Oatmeal Falls on Rupert 
River, Northeast Territory.—J. M. Macoun. 
2.—B. MATRICARLEHFOLIUM, A. Br. On damp hillsides, under bushes, Dalhousie, N. 
B.—J. Fletcher. Regina, Assa.—N. H. Cowdry. Some specimens collected by Professor 
Macoun in 1885, near Silver City, Alta. on the grassy slope below the peak of Castle 
Mountain, Rocky Mountains, are perhaps referable here, but are too immature to admit 
of separation with certainty from B. lunaria. Further search in this locality for more 
mature specimens is of importance, since, if true B. matricariæfolium, our western limit for 
this species ceases to be Regina. 
3.—B. LANCEOLATUM, Angs. In the Rev. Jas. Fowler’s revised list of New Brunswick 
plants (Bull. Nat. Hist. Soc. N. B., No. IV.) a new station, Kennebeccasis, is recorded by 
Mr. G. U. Hay, but I have seen none of the specimens. 
5.—B. TERNATUM, Swz. Old pastures, Truemanville, Cumberland Co., N. S.—H. 
Trueman, One cf the specimens received from this locality has two perfect sterile fronds, 
Sec. IV., 1886, 2.
