years ago. They would thus appear to be analogous to 
our silk or opera hats. As to the kind of dances prac-

Fern Notes 
GEO. L. MOXLEY 
The season of 1914 has slipped away all too soon 
I have not been able to do much of what I had hoped. 
But now at the end I will try to gather up the frag-

Early in February, I began bringing home clumps of 
Adiantum Jordani, Gymnopteris triangularis, and Pellaea 
andromedaefolia for my fernery. I also put some of

Californica, (Nutt.) Mett., Gymnopteris triangularis, 
(Kaulf.) Unde. 
On September 3 I visited another part of the same 
range of hills and found Cheilanthes californica still 
growing in some of the shaded ravines in spite of the 
dryness of the late season. Also noted Dryopteris
