This is the Fern figured at Plate 262 of this work as Lastrea setosa, (drawn from aged specimens from the. Moulmein ` 
mountains). I have just received fine young specimens from Dr. Jerdon collected in Sikkim, which clearly shew that it is not a Lastrea = 
but a Cystopteris ; so I publish a fresh plate. The involucre proceeds from below the sorus and does not cover it in its yous: state. 2 a
