bristly serrate; the three lower pairs on the largest pinnte 

 are stalked, the others being confluent. Sori confined to the 

 upper third portion of the frond. Mr. Clapham has occasionally 

 seen this variety cornute. My thanks are due to the Rev. 

 Charles Padley, of Bulwell Hall, Nottinghamshire, and to Mr. 

 Swynfen Jervis, of Darlaston Hall, Stafi'ordshire, for fronds of 

 this variety.

In^quale, Moore. (Fig. 82.) — Found in Devonshire, by 

 Mr. G. B. Wollaston. A pretty abnormal Fern. The form of 

 the frond is lance-shaped, the basal pinntc being short. The 

 pinnules are various in size and form, and in the upper 

 portion more especially they are misshapen, and more or less 

 depauperated. Most of the pinnules are oblong-ovate, being 

 rounded at their apices, having the usual terminal awn and 

 anterior basal auricle. This variety is of an average size, and 

 is fertile towards the apex. The distinctive feature of the 

 variety is the irregularity of the size and form of the pinnules. 

 Examples of Incequale have been furnished by Mr. G. B. 

 "Wollaston, of Chiselhurst.
