Eemotum, Wollaston. (Fig 471.)— Found in North Devon 

 in 1864 by Mr. J. Dadds. Another dwarf form. Pinna) very- 

 brief at the base, widest in the centre of the frond, and

 undivided and minutely dentate. Length of frond eight inches.

Eroso-cristatum, Moore. TFig. 47^.) — Raised from spores 

 some years ago by Messrs. Stansfield, Vale Nurseries, Tod- 

 morden. A narrow-fronded Fern, with fronds eighteen inches 

 in length, and four inches in width in the widest part. Pinnse 

 distant, especially so near the base of the frond. Pinnules 

 broad, leafy, and rounded at the apex, and dentate or bidentate 

 on their margins; erose, or even wanting, some pinnae scarcely 

 more than the rachides. Pinna; sliglitly crested, and the apex 

 of the frond terminating in a small but conspicuous crest. 

 My thanks are due to Messrs. Stansfield, of Todmorden, for 

 fronds.
