44. Woodsia hyperborea, Brown; 45. "Woodsia ilvensis. 

 Brown. 1,2,3? Northern Gioup. I have nothing of my own personal experi- 

 ence to contribute towards the geographical distribution of these two well-known 

 ferns. They undoubtedly formed, and perhaps still form, members of the group 

 of Alpine plants inhabiting the precipices of Carnarvonshire ; but I have 

 uniformly searched for them in vain both here and elsewhere in the British Isles, 

 nor have I ever seen Welsh specimens. 



46. Aspidium Lonchitis, Sw. 1. Northern Group. Clogwyn-y- 

 Gamedd at 3,000 feet. Probably the Holly Fern still e.xists in this precipice, 

 in which I have seen it growing in small quantity. No certain record of its 

 occurrence further south in Wales seems to exist. It grows in several stations 

 in the Lakeland summits, and is much more abundant in the Scottish Highlands.
