wide apart below, and crowded together towards the apex of 

 the frond. Alternate and linear oblong. Pinnnles usually 

 oblong-ovate, overlapping, flat, oblique, the anterior side the 

 longest. The peculiar toothed margin gives the frond a fim- 

 briated appearance. Sori situated on the anterior side of the 

 basal anterior venule; however the vein becoming branched at 

 a greater distance from a midvcin than is ordinarily the case, 

 the sori become placed half-way between the margin and the 

 midvein in two distinct lines. Sori small and curved. My 

 thanks are due to Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart., of Kolleston 

 Hall; Mr. E. Cooling, of Derby; and to Mr. R. Sim, of Foot's 

 Cray, for plants.

CoxioiDES, Ap2)lehy. (Fig. 279.) — Found at Cantley, near 

 Doncaster, by Mr. S. Appleby. Length of frond two feet. 

 Stipites pale in colour, and furnished with light brown scales. 

 Fronds broadly lanceolate. It takes its name from a resemblance 

 to the hemlock leaves in the outline and divisions of the fronds. 

 Pinnee irregular in outline, somewhat distant and acuminate. 

 Pinnules mostly ovate, occasionally oblong, decurrent at the 

 base, varying in size and outline, distant. Lobes distant and 

 shallow, and notched almost to the apex, and these again 

 notched with brief minute teeth. In the fertile fronds the 

 pinnules taper to an acute point, and the lobes are narrower 

 and more distant. Sori situated near the base of the lobes. 

 It is not uncommon to observe forked or ramose pinnules. 

 My thanks are due to Mr. Swynfen Jcrvis, of Darleston Hall;
