90° AMERICAN FERN JOURNAL 
in 1903 by Mr. F. A. Ross. Up to that time Mr. Ross 
was the only person who had ever collected this fern in 
New England, but it has been lately reported from Nan- 
tucket and Cape Cod. Three sheets collected by Mr. 
_ Ross are in the herbarium of the University of Vermont 
_and one in the herbarium of Mrs. Nellie F. Flynn. Three 
of these sheets were collected from burned-over ground, 
Colchester, and one from Woodwardia Bog, Fort Ethan 
Allen. This fern has not since been collected in Vermont, 
and it is hoped that in another year fern lovers may 
rediscover the fern for us.
