HEPATIOZE. 21

MUSCI. 22 



Octoblepharum albidum Hedw. At base of trees, Mt. Vernon, Nassau. Widely dis- 

 tributed. 



Barbula agraria (Sw.) Brid. (Tortula agraria Sw.). In a banana hole, Soldiers 

 road, Nassau. Distribution: Florida, West Indies and South America. 



*Calymperes disciforme C. M. On trees, Mt. Vernon, Nassau. In reference to this 

 species, Mrs. Britton says : " It has been reported from the Antilles and 

 Martinique as well as from Florida. It agrees with Austin's specimens from 

 Caloosa, Florida, although one of the main characters of the leaves is so 

 misleading that one would naturally place it in an entirely different section 

 . . . the margin is said to be hyalin, but this is not true." 



PTERIDOPHYTA. 23 



Ornithopteris adiantoides (Sw.) Presl. In a barren field, Soldiers road, Nassau 



(49). Abundant in the pine-barrens on New Providence. 

 Asplenium dentatum L. The Caves, New Providence (17). 

 Pteris longifolia L. Banana hole by Soldiers road, New Providence (48). 

 Polypodium polypodioides (L.) Hitch. Mt. Vernon, Nassau (120). 

 C amply oneuron phyllitidis (L.) Presl. On trees, Mt. Vernon, Nassau (122). 

 Adiantum capillus-veneris L. In a banana hole, Mt. Vernon, Nassau (130). 

 Adiantum melanolucum Willd. In a banana hole, Tarpum Bay, Eleuthera (396). 

 Dryopteris patens (Sw.) Kuntze. In banana holes, East road, Nassau; Mangrove

21 Determined by Dr. Alexander W. Evans. All of these species are widely 

 distributed in tropical America, Frullania squarrosa (R. Bl. & N.) Dum. being 

 found also in the tropics of Asia, Africa and the Pacific Islands. All of the species, 

 except Frullania gibbosa Nees. and Diplasiolejeunea unidentata (Lehm. & Lindenb.) 

 Schiffn., are also known from the southern United States. A. W. EVANS. 



22 Determined by Mrs. N. L. Britton. 



23 Ferns and Seed Plants followed by numbers, excepting Grasses, Sedges and 

 Palms, were identified by Dr. N. L. Britton. Species not followed by numbers were 

 identified by me, but not collected. Localities preceding numbers are the points of 

 collection; those following numbers are points where the plants were seen but not 

 collected. The latter are open to possibilities of error, and are given only for what 

 they are worth.
