AMERICAN FERN SOCIETY 119 
pleasantly at an informal reception, a unique feature of 
which was the presentation to each guest of a living 
plant of the hart’s-tongue—a cultivated plant, be it 
known, raised from spores by a florist. The Syracuse 
Botanical Society provided a picnic luncheon of almost 
dangerous proportions and attractiveness on the last 
day of the meeting. On this day, also, what remained 
of Mrs. Spalding’s supply of hart’s-tongue plants were 
set out in favorable places on the State Reservation, 
in the hope of establishing new stations for this rare fern. 
All three days were spent in exploring the region 
about East and West Green Lakes and White Lake, 
already described in the announcements of the meeting. 
This area, small though it is, proved well worth the 
time spent on it, both for its unusual geological fea- 
tures, and for the richness of its fern flora in number of 
species and in their intrinsic interest and peculiarities 
of distribution. A list of the species found follows: 
Polypodium vulgare, Phegopteris Dryopteris, Adian- 
tum pedatum, Pteridium aquilinum, Pellaea atropurpurea, 
Cryptogramma  Stelleri, Asplenium Trichomanes, Bs

Filiz-femina, Scolopendrium vulgare, Camptosorus rhizo- 
phyllus, Polystichum acrostichoides, Dryopteris Thelyp- 
teris, D. noveboracensis, D. marginalis, D. Goldiana, D. 
cristata, D. Clintoniana,’ D. spinulosa, D. intermedia, 
Cystopteris bulbifera, C. fragilis, Dennstaedtia puncti- 
lobula, Onoclea sensibilis, O. Struthiopteris, Osmunda 
cinnamomea, O. Claytoniana, O. regalis, Ophioglossum 
vulgatum, Botrychium simplex, B. ramosum, B. obliquum, 
B. dissectum, B. ternatum, var. intermedium, B. onon-
