Var. RANGIFERINUM, #. var. Pinnules longer stalked, convex on the lower border, 
vising from the rachis at an acute angle, gradually tapering at the base, deeply cleft into 
narrow, toothed lobes on the upper side, rounded from below upward at the outer extre- 
mity ; sori few. | 
This very peculiar and beautiful form, to which the name rangiferinum has been given 
on account of the resemblance of the pinnules to the horns of the reindeer, was found on 
thickly shaded rocks overhanging the waters of Gold Stream, at the base of Mount Fin- 
layson, twelve miles from Victoria, B. Col., by Mr. J. R. Anderson. The pinnæ are very 
few in number and long in proportion to the size of the plant, e. g., a specimen about two 
feet high has only three on each of the primary branches, those nearest the forking on 
each side measuring not less than thirteen inches. It is in the pinnules, however, that 
the most marked peculiarities are seen. These, in the ordinary form, are short stalked, 
spring from the rachis at right angles, and have the lower margin usually straight or 
more or less concave, but in this they are well petioled, rise at a very acute angle, and
