 Grasmere, June 26, 1910 (624P). One of the two localities near 

 New Springville previously reported^ for this fern has been de-

^This locality was destroyed by the felling of the surrounding trees 

 during the winter of 1906-1907. On June i, 1907, when the locality was 

 visited, the plant had fallen down with the rocks and was almost destroyed. 

 It was then taken home and transplanted and has gradually regained its 

 vigor, as shown by a specimen collected Oct. i, 1909 (dodoYi).
