HYMENOPHYLLUM TUNBBIDGENSE. 299 



DuMFEiESSHiEB. — Mr. Cruickshank has found it on rocks at Drumlan- 

 rigg Bridge. 



Descending into England, we find it in two northern counties, — York- 

 shire and Lancashire ; then in two Welch counties, — Merionethshire and 

 Glamorganshire ; next in two western counties, — Devonshire and Corn- 

 wall ; and, lastly, in two south-eastern counties, — Sussex and Kent : in the 

 latter county, it grows only in one very restricted locality, closely bordering 

 on Sussex. Somersetshire, a recorded county, requires confirmation. 



YoHKSHiEE. — Mr. Spruce informs me it has been found by Mr. Peter- 

 kin on rocks, by a stream running down to the sea, at a place called Hay- 

 bum- wyke, near Whitby ; Mr. Wilson has found it near Halifax, and near 

 Greenfield ; and the late Mr. S. Gibson near Todmorden. I have several 

 other communications from this county, most of them simply confirmatory 

 of the foregoing. 



Lanoashibb. — The late Mr. S. Gibson found it at Oliviger ; Mr. Side- 

 botham sparingly in caves at Greenfield ; and Mr. Simpson near Coniston. 



Meeionethshiee. — Mr. Wilson informs me he has received specimens 

 from Orofnant, near Harlech ; Mr. Kalfs, that he has found it near Dol- 

 gelly, and near Barmouth ; and Mr. H, C. Eothery in the vale of Festi- 

 niog : to these localities I may add Rhayadr Du, near Maentwrog, where I 

 observed it in some abundance above the fall. 



Glamoeganshiee. — Mr. Westcombe informs me that he found it at the 

 Melincourt waterfall ; and Mr. E. Young adds that it grows in a large patch 

 on a stone in the middle of the stream, close to the fall, and that he has 

 also found it at Brincon's, and at the Gill Hepste waterfall. It may be 

 added, that one of the species, but I cannot satisfactorily ascertain which of 

 them, occurs abundantly at Pont-nedd-Vecchn. 



Devonshiee. — The Rev. W. S. Here has found it, in company with 

 H. unilaterale, on rocks adjoining the Plym, near Shaugh Bridge ; and 

 Miss Griffiths has observed it at Bickleigh Vale, South Devon. 



Coenwall. — Mr. Babington and Mr. Borrer inform me that they have 

 found this species at Rough Tor, near CameUbrd, and Mr. Bowden has 

 supplied me with a fine mass of the plant from near this locality ; Miss 

 Warren has met with it in two places in a wood near Penryn ; and Mr. D. 

 Peirson at College Wood, near Penryn : several other communications con- 

 firm these localities, and rather extend the Cornish range of the species. 



Sussex. — This little fern was formerly most abundant upon the High 

 Rocks, at Tunbridge Wells, but large masses of it have been rolled off the 

 rocks, like blankets, insomuch that it is now found but sparingly in this, its 

 original and once profuse locahty ; it stiU occurs abundantly on the sand- 

 stone rooks at West Hoathly, Ardingly, and Handcross ; at the first of 

 these, remarkable for the rock called " Big-upon-little," I found it abun- 

 dantly in August, 1853.
