118 AMERICAN FERN JOURNAL 
Notes and news 
In Notule Systematice 1: 234. 1910, Dr. H. Christ has 
described a new Dryopteris, D. tremula, from Mexico, 
state of Michoacan. fsently I have had numerous 
specimens of this fern of the type collection (Herb. Roland 
Bonaparte) and I believe that it cannot be separated 
specifically from D. thelypteris. If I am correct in this, 
the finding of this species in southern Mexico is most 
interesting, D. thelypteris not having been found previ- i- 
- ones in tropical America.—C. (CHRISTENSEN
