Caudata, Moore. (Fig. 179.) — Found at Windermere, by 

 Mr, F. Clowes, and under cultivation has remained permanent. 

 Although in some respects more or less normal, still the present 

 variety differs in having an elongated apex, and the pinnae 

 narrowed and drawn out to a considerable length. The apex 

 of the frond is often divided in a trifid manner. Fronds elon- 

 gate-lanceolate, pinnae caudate. Normal in size, very distinct 

 in appearance. Pinnae six inches wide at the base, rapidly 

 narrowing to the apex, in centre of frond not three inches wide. 

 Pinnules broad, rounded at the apex, various in length, some 

 altogether deficient, except the decurrent portion or rachides. 

 Sori bold.

FuBCANS, Monkman, MSS. (Fig. 180.) — Mr. Monkman found 

 near Bowness a plant having the apices of the fronds and pinnae 

 once cleft, corresponding with the variety Furcata of the "Male 

 Fern." In other respects the plant was normal. My thanks 

 are due to Mr, Monkman, for fronds.
