32 FERNS OF BORNEO. 
Mr. Charles Hose is to be supplied for the Ferns that come from 
the Baram district of Sarawak, including Mt. Mulu, Mt. Dulit, 
Mt. Lambir, Niah, &c., and my own in all other instance 
the position of new Ferns, as Mr. Baker does, by giving them 
the number of the species nearest to them with the addition of 
an asterisk. 
number of known Ferns has been made since its publication. 
The Supplement, * Ferns discovered or described since 1874," 
and subsequent lists of new discoveries published by Mr. Baker 
only in part supply this want, as they are hardly more than lists : 
for descriptions an immense number of publications have to be 
consulted, and these are seldom accessible to persons who live 
in the regions where novelties are to be found.
