This is a variety to which we alluded in our description under 
Tab. 974, and which at first sight has the appearance of being 
different from that species, an opinion that some would 
consider confirmed by the venules there being simple, here 
forked, and each branch soriferous, so that there are as it 
were twin sori:—but after our figure was engraved a more 
careful examination has led to the conviction that the two 
are but varieties of one and the same species, of which 
intermediate grades exist in our extensive suites of specimens.
