curved spines. Fronds tripinnate, chartaceous, pellucid, 
ions dull dark green above, pale beneath. Pinnz patent, lower 
ones much reduced and shortly gprs se those above these sessile, 
eernd Joniwontar cs acuminate, 12-16 in. long, 4 in. broa nule 
beneath clothed with very minute dark brown bullate scales, and 
Pp Veins simple, pellucid, 4-5 to a side, lowest pair 
erminating just above th us. Sori small, medial, occupying 
in 
three or four of the yeins on each side. Receptacle small, scaly. 
Maraceus; collected by Mr. Sherring. Intermediate between 
oblonga and procera. Likely this is either No. 82 or 112 of 
Fendler’s Ferns, both of which are ascribed to A. nitens J. Sm., 
which, as Smith’s specimens in the British Museum show, is 
A, aspera R. Br., a Jamaican species not found in Trinidad *. 
Alsophila ferox Presl. H. horrida R. Br. 
Hemitelia grandifolia . Hemitelia niGtezfors R. Br. 
Cyathea pubescens Mett. — A specimen in the British Museum 
Herbarium, collected by ookhart’ in Trinidad and named C. Serra, 
belongs to this species 
Cyathea Schanschin Mart.—This Fendler’s No. 80 Eaton did not 
determine. Mr. Baker has identified it with this, and writes :— 
‘“Fendler has sent a fine caudex of this plant, which completes 
the proof of its identity with & speci ies now known to be widely 
distributed in Tropical America.’ 
. Hypoderris Brownii J. Sm.—This was taken to be Phegopteris 
drae onoptera in Eaton’s List 
Dicksonia cicutaria Swartz.

present I classify as a form of 4. aspera R. Br.—J. G. B.
