LIST OF FERNS COLLECTED IN BORNEO. 



The following is an abridged account of m3' specimens 

 of ferns, as written by Mr. J. G. Baker, F.R.S., and 

 published in the Journal of Botany, 1879, p. 37 : — 



The following is a complete list of the species gathered, 

 which were all obtained in the neighbourhood of Labuan and 

 Kina Bain. To the new species I have prefixed numbers, 

 showing the position in which they fall, according to the 

 sequence followed in our " Synopsis Filicum ;" and I have 

 marked with a * the names of those which, so far as I am 

 aware, have not been gathered in the island before. I may 

 mention that a complete catalogue of the ferns of Borneo was 

 published in 1876 by Baron Vincent de Cesati, with a special 

 account, with figures of some of the novelties, of those gathered 

 by Professor Beccari.
