is especially glad to make grateful acknowledgment to Dr. Philip 
Dowell for examining all his collections in this group. 
SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES 
Some notes on the following species, which may be called “‘ near 
neighbors,’’ may be of interest: 
Asplenium pinnatifidum Nutt. Judging from published 
records, the collection of this species in the county would be 
not only surprising but unexpected. 
Athyrium angustifolium (Michx.) Milde. Reported among 
other counties in Pennsylvania from Berks, Montgomery, and 
Monroe. Its occurrence within the limits of the county would 
not be surprising. 
Dryopteris Clintoniana (Eat.) eee: vaiiigted ae pe: 
lished records for this species without q 
it is possible that this species may yet be Colletted ; in the peaniy: 
Dryopteris simulata Davenp. Porter records this species 
from Schuylkill, Pike,and Monroe counties, in the mountains to 
the north, and the writer has found it abundant on Broad Moun- 
tain, near Mauch Chunk, in Carbon County, and near Saylors- 
burg in Monroe County. It has also been reported from Bucks 
County, and southeast in New Jersey. The writer has recognized 
the possibility of the fern occurring in the county but careful 
search has not resulted in finding it. 
Lorinseria areolata (L.) Underw. The only excuse for mention- 
ing this species is the published record for Monroe County, Penn- 
sylvania. Normally this is a coastal species with few records of its 
occurrence far inland. Apparently Carolinian in its association, 
its occurrence in the county is not expected. 
Ophioglossum vulgatum L. There are records for this species 
from nearly every county adjoining Lehigh but the writer has 
looked over many favorable localities with the species in mind 
without favorable result. Its occurrence may almost be assumed 
but its collection will probably be accidental, like so many of the 
records of this species. 
Phegopteris Dryopteris (L.) Fée. There is every reason to 
believe that this species should occur in Lehigh County, as it is 
reported from so many of the adjoining or neighboring counties, 
but thus far it has not been collected.
