ASPLENIUM MARINDM. 



239 



Mr. Jordan between Dawlish and Teignmouth, and also at Dawlish, Teign- 

 mouth, and Exmouth. Mr. Hannaford finds it with ovate obtuse pinnae 

 at Goodrington and Stoke Gabriel Rooks, and with elongate acute pinnro 

 on Dartmouth Castle. 



CoHNWALL. — In this county the sea spleenwort is abundant and luxuri- 

 ant. Miss Warren informs me that it grows both on the northern and 

 southern coasts ; and that it is particularly fine near St Ives. Mr. Ealfs 

 says it is fine and abundant at Mousehole. Messrs. Watson, Greenwood, 

 Peirson, H. Christy, &c., have given me numerous other localities, almost 

 comprising the entire coast. The form of the frond in Cornish specimens 

 is more elongate than in those from Liverpool, and the habit altogether 

 different.

 CuUum. In Purbeck in various places : Pulteney." — ' Botanist's Guide.' 

 I have seen specimens from Lyme Regis. 



Hampshiee. — " Extremely rai'e in Hants, and only known to me in the 

 single subjoined station, where it is both excessively sparing in quantity 

 and of most diminutive growth. — Amongst masses of rock above the 

 shore west of St. Catherine's Point, beyond Knowle, towards Blackgang, 

 Sept. 13, 1845 : Miss Kirkpatrick." — Dr. Bromfield in Phytol. iv. 17. 



Sussex. — Ray found this fern about the Castle-rock at Hastings ; and 

 I am informed by Mr. Yarrell, Mr. Borrer, and Mr. Jenner, that it still 

 exists in the same locality. 



From this locality, passing on eastward and then northward to Scarbo- 

 rough, I have not a single record of its occurrence.
