Remarks. Some exceedingly fine specimens of this fern, 

 from blaes lying between the Kiltongue and Drumgray Coals, 

 which were brought up while driving a road, were collected by 

 Mr. Dunlop at Whiterigg Pit, near Airdrie. These examples 

 are the finest British specimens I have seen. 



Several specimens of Cyclopteris trichomanoides, Brongn., 

 which at one time was supposed to form a distinct species of 

 a different genus, have also been collected. These peculiar 

 cyclopteroid pinnules were attached to the main rachis of the 

 iern, and a figure showing their relation to the other parts of 

 the frond has been given by Rohl (Vers. d. Steink.-Form.
