MULTIFIDUM-NANUM-ANGUSTATUM, Stansfi'ld. (Figs. 486 and 

 487.) — Length of frond six inches, fragile, with various foniu-d 

 and sized pinnte much laciniated, and very grotesque; the apex 

 of the frond much branched and cristate. This variety was 

 raised from spores by Messrs. Stansfield, of the Vale Nurseries, 

 Todmorden. 



Odontomanes, Moore. — Found in the Vale of Todmorden 

 by Mr. Stansfield. Another form of the molh group, with 

 broadly-lanceolate fronds; brief, broad, and acuminate pinnae; 

 and somewhat distant, patent, decurrent, and profoundly-pinnatifid 

 pinnules. The lobes remarkable for their long conspicuous 

 irregular teeth. The best forms are those found by Miss S. 

 Beever at Conistone, and by Mr. Foxton at Thirsk, in Vork- 

 shire. Less marked forms have been gathered at Tunbridee
