 ihortcr, like thofe of the common Male-fern. They produce 

 others in pairs after the fame manner. They have pinnules, 

 rather broad than winged, fparingly difpofcd, with deep acute 

 ferratures, each denticle ending in a herbaceous fpinnule. The

 fpinules. The fructifications are in round dots on the back part 

 of the margin, about twelve or more, in a double fe'ries. Its whole
