dried specimens of this plant which I shall be glad to 
give to any member of the American Fern Society who 
asks for them. I have also specimens of Ophioglossum 
which any member of the society is welcome to for the 
asking, green or dried.—JosrrpH R. MumBavEr, PENNS-

ANOTHER Ricu Fern Locauiry—Last summer my 
work took me to North Adams, Mass., where my first 
walk revealed more than a dozen species of ferns and 
where all of my spare time for over four months was de- 
voted to the woods and fields. 
Within a mile and a half of North Adams is a pasture 
on a rocky hillside with rocks sticking up 10-15 feet or 
more. On one of these rocks and immediately below it, 
near a small spring shaded by four or five trees, in an 
area less than fifty by a hundred yards, I found a re- 
markable variety of ferns, in all fourteen different 
species. They were: Adiantum pedatum, Asplenium ebe- 
neum, A. thelypteroides, A. Trichomanes, Athyrium Filiz- 
foemina, Cystopteris bulbifera, Nephrodium Goldieanum, 
N. marginale N. noveboracense, N. spinulosum, Onoclea 
sensibilis, Phegopteris polypodioides, Polypodium vulgare, 
Polystichum acrostichoides. 
Near by, in fields and woods, were besides: Camp- 
tosorus rhizophyllus, Cystopteris fragilis, Dicksonia 
pilosiuscula, Nephrodium Boottii, N. cristatum, N. 
Thelypteris, Osmunda cinnamomea, O. Claytoniana, O. 
regalis, Phegopteris Dryopteris, Pteris aquilina, Struthiop- 
teris germanica, Woodsia obtusa. 
At least two species of the spinulose wood fern group 
can be found and a fern which I did not recognize at the 
time I found it evidently is Nephrodium simulatum. 
The hybrid, Nephrodium cristatum xX marginale, grows 
near the entrance to the Hoosac Tunnel and at least two 
of the Botrychiums are quite common. Until late 
summer I was unable to find more than the half dozen
