 10 lines wide subsessile linear graduallj" attenuated pinnatifidly 

 inciso-serrate the prolonged apex entire, lobes triangular- 

 ovate acute united by a scariose winged margin produced into 

 a tooth in the sinus, secondary veins (costules) standing out at 

 an angle of 4° from the costa, tertiary veins (veinlets) 10-12 

 pairs lowest or inferior ones anastomosing superior connivent 

 separated by a scariose wing, sori appressed to the costules,

Hal). Luzon, Cuming, n. 172. — By some accident my original specimens of 

 this Fern are mislaid. Unfortunately Mr. Smith gives no specific character, and 

 Fee and .Mettenius make no allusion to its affinity. 



242. P. (Phegopteris) Borneense, Hook.; caudex?, stipes 

 5 inches long slender glabrous, frond firm-membranaceous 

 7 inches long ovate-oblong acuminated glabrous pinnate, 

 pinnae H to If inch long |-1 incli wide broad-oblong sud- 

 denly acute slightly falcate quite sessile truncated at the base 

 and distinctly auricled above subserrated upwards, terminal 

 pinna twice as large as the lateral ones petioled and suddenly 

 caudato-acuminate coarsely serrated in the lower half, cos- 

 tules slender subflexuose, veinlets rather distant horizontal 

 6-8 pairs nearly all connivent and subhorizontal more or less 

 produced, sori small rather irregular but near the middle of 

 each veinlet forming 2 subequidistant series. 



llab. Borneo, Labiian, Thos. Lobb.—A. very peculiar and distinct species, quite 

 unlike anything which I am acquainted with ; the united produced veinlets are 

 often quite absent, and the nearly horizontal direction of the veinlets themselves 

 causes the areoles to he of a square form, with or witliout a central \initing veinlet. 



243, P. (Goniopteris) niuttUineatum, Wall.; caudexV, stipes 

 2 feet and probably much more long stout glabrous as well 

 as the rachis, frond probably 3-4 feet long firm-coriaceous 

 pale yellowish-green glabrous pinnated, pinnae approximate 

 numerous 8-15 inches long 1-2 inches wide from a truncated 

 subsessile base elongate moderately acuminated, the margin 

 everywhere strongly and sharply serrated, costa and costules 

 and even veiidets elevated on both sides especially beneath, 

 veinlets lG-20 pairs close placed nearly the whole of them 

 connivent and soriferous in the middle and biserial. — Wat/, in
