.pinne 10—13 cm long by 1'/2—2 cm broad. The erect rhizome is at the top 
clothed with many castaneous, acuminate scales. 
Maxon (loc. cit.) says that P. serrulatum Sw. was founded upon SLoAne’s pl. 
43 fig. 1 and that P. asplenioides Sw., founded upon SLoaAne’s pl. 43 fig. 2 is the 
same species. As I have shown in my paper on SwARTZ's species of ferns, Swartz 
has never founded a species upon figures alone but always described them after 
specimens. The two named Swartzian species were described after specimens col- 
lected by Swanrz himself in Jamaica and Maxon is, therefore, not right in identi- 
fying the two species from an examination of the figures quoted only. 
D. serrulata seems to be endemic in Jamaica, where a beautiful series of 
specimens was collected by Maxon (numbers quoted by Maxon loc. cit.) UNDER- 
woop, Hart and JENMAN (W).

An imperfectly known species, confounded with Aspidium catacolobum Kze. 
and A. nitidulum Kze. figured by ErrTINGSHAUSEN, which no doubt belong to D. 
lugubris. The type-specimen belongs to a species closely related to D. serrulata, 
while other specimens from the same locality, often determined as D. anoptera, 
seem to me to belong to D. pyramidata. In size, texture and cutting D. anoplera, 
as understood here, does not at all differ from D. serrulata, but it differs by the 
presence of very small and few scales on the costze beneath, by its more numerous 
veins, 7—8 to a side, the lower ones truly united, and by its sporangia being setose 
by bi- or trifurcate hairs. — I have no doubt that Gon. hastata Fée (G. bahiensis 
Fée) is this, although the plate shows a plant with a distinct terminal pinna.

Type from Guadeloupe, leg. L’HERMINIER (Herb. Cosson, Paris!; B). 
Rhizome shortcreeping or decumbent, like the lower part of the stipes with 
some stellato-pilose scales. Stipe and rachis shortly puberulous by forked and 
simple hairs, sometimes nearly glabrous. Lamina up to 5 dcm long, but generally 
much shorter, pinnate in the lower half or two-thirds suddenly narrowed into a 
long, broad, pinnatifid or lobed apex, herbaceous, strigose on the coste above, 
slightly puberulous by furcate and simple hairs on coste and veins beneath,
