ON THE JAMAICA FERNS OF SLOANE’S HERBARIUM. 
By G. §. Jenman, F.L.S. 
Waite occupied recently in looking up ee on the 
Guiana Flora at the British Museum Herbarium, I used the 
opportunity to determine the ferns in Sloane’s collection of J amaica 
plants. 
The plants are contained in eight large folio volumes, and a 
described, and in part illustrated, in Sloane’ 's ‘ Natural History of 
Jamaica.’ The ferns form vol. i. of the seri In the course of 
the examination I found that the figures have iia often misquoted, 
for, though they are characteristic in general features, m man 
cases escee details are wanting ; and I therefore now place on 
reco! y determinations, which I have also written on the sheets. 
Beyond correcting the misquotations alluded to, the result shows 
thai s collection, now two hundred years old, contains several 
rare or only recently spraageache species; and, still more in- 
teresting, that it siege o unnamed plants.
