11. PREFACE. 



few only having been omitted as not distinguishable in figures 

 on so small a scale. The Keinote Buckler Fern, introduced 

 to the British Flora by Mr. Clowes, and first described in the 

 Addenda to Mr. Moore's 8vo. edition of Nature-printed British 

 Ferns, 1862, has, I believe, been engraved only once before now. 



So much of Preface seemed right to explain the nature 

 of the work and to render fitting acknowledgements and thanks. 

 I have only farther to say that I shall be obliged to any one 

 who will favour me by either pointing out possible errors or 

 giving me information as to new varieties or habitats. And 

 I ought to add that Fern-collectors may obtain good specimens 

 from Mr. Qrier, nurseryman, Arnbleside, or Mr. Wood, fern- 

 seller, Bowness.
