pinna evenly serrated, veins forked. Sori oblong occupying the 

 centre of pinna, about an equal distance from the margin as from 

 costule. Hab. Johnstone River. Collected by W. R. Kefford. 



The meeting with this fern in Australia is of more than usual 

 interest, as by its short rhizome, &c., it fully connects Swartz's 

 West Indian species, A. Icetum, with the Old World species, 

 A. resectum, of Smith. I am led to this conclusion not only 

 from published descriptions, but from examination of a fine 

 specimen of Swartz's rare fern in Lady Musgrave's excellent col- 

 lection of Jamacia ferns. 



Asplenium marinum, Linn.y var. difforme, Hab. Nerang Creek,

Doubtless A. ohtusatum, Forst. approaches in some of its 

 forms too near to A. marinum^ Linn., to be retained as a dis- 

 tinct species. I ha#ve therefore thought it well to follow Baron 

 Mueller and the Rev. Dr. W. Wools in placing the above variety 

 under the Lin^ean name. 



SERIES B. 



Polypodium confluens, R. Br.^ var. lobatum. Hab. Pearson' s 



Waterfalls, Helidon. F, M. Bailey. 



This differs from the normal form by its fronds being variously 

 and deeply lobed, resembling in this respect the fronds of 

 P. pustulatum, Forst.
