distinct the plants are in form, I gave the vicinity of Port o'Warren 

 as a station for Carex remota instead of distans, which Mr. Fraser 

 has since found elsewhere in abundance. With these exceptions all 

 the stations then given have been authenticated by specimens.

Occurrence of Polypodium Phegopteris in Gloucestershire. 

 By Edward T. Bennett, Esq. 



During a day's excursion to the Forest of Dean this summer, I 

 had the pleasure of very unexpectedly meeting with that elegant fern 

 Polypodium Phegopteris. About a mile and a half above Lydbrook, 

 towards Coleford, out of a low wall by the road-side, grows Polypo- 

 dium calcareum. The station for Phegopteris is nearly opposite this, 

 on the other side of the road, a short distance within the wood. It is 

 growing among bushes in a boggy bit of ground ; I think in rather 

 an unusual position, its favourite habitat being among moss on rocks 

 and stones, amid the spray of waterfalls. Although a considerable 

 patch of a hundred or two fronds, it had not attained to near that 

 luxuriance and size of frond which makes it such a beautiful object 

 in some more mountainous parts of the country. But it is an inte- 

 resting addition to the ferns of Gloucestershire, in which county I am 

 not aware that it has been previously recorded.
