sion." I saw no signs of the plant 

 which has done almost as much as 

 " the sounding cataract " to make 

 the spot famous. 



The combined recollection of the 

 beautiful falls and the for me un- 

 discovered fern, joined to the fact 

 that Madison and the adjoining 

 Onondaga County are favorite 

 hunting grounds for the fern lover 

 on account of the many species 

 which they harbor, drew us to 

 Cazenovia for the summer two 

 years later. 



Guided by the explicit direc- 

 tions of Mr. J. H. Ten Eyck Burr, 

 a fern enthusiast who is always 

 ready to share with others, of 

 whose good 

 faith he is as- 

 sured, his en- 

 joyment of the 

 hiding-places 

 of his favorites, 

 we found at 

 last the Hart's 

 Tongue in its 

 own home.
