crested in a crisped manner. I am indebted to Mr. Claijham 

 for fronds. 



Martynianum, Stansjield. — Found in 1863, in County Clare 

 by Mr. A. Stansfield. Length ten inches, width scarcely an 

 inch in the contracted basal half of the frond, and one inch 

 and three quarters in the upper half. Stem lengthy, costa 

 flexuose, the contracted portion fimbriate, the upper half normal 

 on one margin, and irregularly lobate on the other. Apex 

 pointed, dwarfer than laciniatum, and more deeply cut. My 

 thanks are due to Messrs. Stansfield for fronds. 



Angustato-marginatum, Wollaston. — Found at Craven, in 

 Yorkshire, in 1861, by Mr. A. Stansfield. Length eleven 

 inches, width three quarters of an inch. An interesting very 

 narrow marginate form, the continuous line being near the 

 marerin on the under side.

Crenulatum, Stansjield. — Found in many places. Length 

 nine inches. Normal, except having a submarginal line, 

 beyond which crenulate. Sori more or less oval, and situated 

 along this line. Apex pointed. Fronds less, and narrower 

 than the normal form. 



Alcicorne, Stansjield. — Raised from spores in 1858 by 

 Messrs. Stansfield, of Todmorden. Dwarf, undulate, stipes 

 somewhat flexuose. Sometimes bifid, and having irregular 

 horn-like projecting lobes near the apex, both along the 

 margin and apex. Length seven inches. Fronds widening to 

 the apex. 



Variegattjm, Moore. (Figs. 738 and 740, and Plate LXIV.) 

 — There are several forms of this Fern, one dwarf, and in the 

 possession of Mr. Clapham, called varicyatum-Claphami, (see 

 plate LXIV — B,) is sometimes beautifully variegated with white, 

 but it is only subpermanent. The apex is dilate. Another 

 dwarf form, called variegatum- IVillisonii, (see fig. 740,) is varie- 

 gated with yellowish white, and only subpermanent: both these 

 are from North Yorkshire. A third has been found by Mr. 

 Elworthy, raricf/atmn-Ehrorthii, (see fig. 738,) is a handsome 

 permanent variety of a narrow normal form, and much variegated.
