LIST OF VENEZUELAN WOODS. 859 
The connection of Scolopendrinm with Lake Simcoe, Canada West, 
as given in this Journal and repeated in a Catalogue of Oneida County 
Plants, has been a mistake for Owen Sound on the Georgian Bay. 
Here it was discovered in 1857 by Professor William Hincks, growing 
plentifully on the rocks around the falls of a stream emptying into the 
Sound; since then it has also been observed by others in adjacent 
localities. 
Geologically, this Fern is confined to the limestones, and may be 
searched for wherever the Helderberg, Niagara, and Trenton groups 
afford favourable stations. —From the Am. Journ. of Science, September,
