 No. 8140, collected April 11, in Madera county near the 

 banks of the San Joaquin river about three miles above Pollasky, 

 growing between and under the overhanging parts of great 

 granite boulders. It is abundant at that particular point, and 

 looked very unlike C. triangularis of which it has been consid- 

 rred but a mere form. When fresh the upper side of the frond 

 is much paler than is that of the other species, and the whole 

 plant less stiff.

No. 8261, collected May 5, near Big Pine, Inyo county, on 

 the hills just west of the county hospital, growing about the 

 base of a large overhanging granite rock. It was abundant at 

 this place, but not noted elsewhere. It was first supposed to be 

 C. clevelandi, but does not have the "ciliated and laciniated 

 scales" of that species.

 No. 8370, collected June 8, on the western end of the San 

 Bruno hills, San Francisco, growing in the crevices of granite 

 boulders. The thick and short leathery frond separate it at 

 once from P. californicuni. It appears to be restricted to the 

 immediate vicinity of the coast, and is said to range from Cali- 

 fornia to British Columbia.
