Mr. JOHN ROBINSON presented the following 



ADDENDA TO THE FERNS OP ESSEX COUNTY. 



(Bulletin E. I., Vol. VII, No. 3, March, 1875.) 

 10 A. WOODWARDIA ANGUSTIFOLIA Smith. 



Dr. Charles PickeringMnforms me that Mr. Wm. Oakes, in a letter 

 written some forty years ago, speaks of finding this species while bot- 

 anizing. The locality, Dr. Pickering was quite certain, was iu Essex 

 Co., probably at Danvers. 



25 A. PHEGOPTERIS HEXAGONOPTERA Fee. 



Fine specimens of this species were found by Mrs. Horner at 

 Georgetown, Sept., 1875 (see herb. Essex Co. at P. A. S). 



Thus two species are added to the County ferns from 

 the list in the first paper indicating possible inhabitants. 



Among the possible inhabitants see No. 5, B. simplex, 

 from Long Island, N. Y. This will probably prove to 

 be a mistake, and should be No. 6, B. matricarisefoliurn.
