Hymenophyllum peltatum (Poir.) Desv. — Found by all 
collectors, but I am very inclined to believe that only 
one small Hymenophyllum, H. falklandicum Bak., occurs 
in the islands; all specimens seen by me I refer to that 
species. 
3. Hymenophyllum tunbridgense (L.) Sm. — BAKER says (Syn. 
Fil. 67, in a note under this species): »A plant from 
the Falkland islands has the pinne only once forked, 
or even simple.» This form is evidently the same 
BAKER himself describes as H. falklandicum. 
4. Trichomanes flabellatum (flabellula) Bory, Dup. Voy. Bot. 
1: 281. 1828 — This is a very obscure plant, not found 
by later collectors. It is identified with 7'. sibthorpioides 
Bory from the Mascarene Islands, thus by Kvuw in 
Fi]. Afr., and is he right in this, it is probable, that 
the original specimens were not collected in the Falk- 
land Islands.! 
None of the 15 species enumerated above are endemic. 
According to BAKER Schizaea australis Gaud. is also found 
in the Auckland Islands; it is certainly not specifically different 
from S. chilensis Phil. from South Chile and together with 
this scarcely to distinguish from 8S. fistulosa Lab. With 
exception of Pteris cretica L.? all the species also occur in 
South Chile and West-Patagonia. 
For several informations, for which I am due to Dr. 
SKOTTSBERG, I bring him my best thanks. On my request 
Professor A. G. NATHORST kindly sent me for comparison 
the specimens from temperate South America in the Riks- 
museum of Stockholm. Herefore I bring him my most sincere 
thanks.

* T a letter to the author Dr. SKOTTSBERG points out, that Bory can 
have mistaken a liverwort, Symphyogyna crassifrons Zull. for a small fern; 
it would not be the only mistake of that kind made by Bory. 
? With reference to this plant it must be remembered, that its oceur- 
rence in a wild state is not proved. See page 2l.
