SCORTECHINI'S MALAYAN FERNS. 
By Cot. R. H. Beppome, F.L.S. 
In November, 1887, I published in this Journal a list of the 
ferns collected in and around Perak by the Rev. Father Scortechini. 
This collection was deposited in the Natural History Museum 
South Kensington, after having been exhibited at the Colonial 
Exhibition. The Rev. Father made further collections before his 
has lately forwarded one set of these to Kew a similar set to 
me. The following is a list of the species srarallee which did 
not occur in the first collection, those mar ed with an asterisk 
being, I believe, new to the Perak district.
