Mrs. Rust sends specimens of this interesting fern from the original 
locality near Syracuse, where she first discovered it. She writes that the 
_ plants occur in but one little spot, and, with most commendable care for the 
preservation of the fern, she says that she cautiously plucks a few without — 
_ taking them up by the roots. We sincerely hope that others who may possess ~ 
the knowledge of this single New York locality, may be equally careful not » 
to destroy it. It is greatly to be regretted that the locality of Woodsia 
 glabella, at Little Falls, has been exhausted, and its loss should stimulate all | 
true lovers of nature to be careful of such rare gifts.

- ferns that have been detected in the State.
