Xephrodium patens Desv. Usually on damp shaded 

 limestone rocks, in the western half of the coastal plain, 

 often with Adiantum Capillus-V encris. I have seen it in 

 the counties of Pulaski. Dooly. Dougherty, Clay, Early, 

 and Decatur. At Forest Falls, in the last named county 

 (see Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 30: 289, 319. 1903) it grows 

 five feet tall. Airs. Taylor has found it near Thomasville 

 {Fern Bull. 11: 14. Jan., 1903). 



Xephrodium Floridanum Hook. In rich damp 

 woods in the coastal plain, rare. Collected once in Sum- 

 ter County and once in Berrien. Airs. Taylor also finds 

 it in Thomas County. Mr. A. H. Curtiss reports this 

 (Plant World, 5 : 68. 1902) difficult to collect in Florida 

 on account of " red-bugs.'' At both places where I have 

 seen it I have encountered an even more exasperating 

 entomological difficulty in the shape of mosquitoes, who, 

 unlike the red-bugs, make their presence known immedi- 

 ately. 



Nephrodium margin ale Michx. On Silurian and 

 Carboniferous sandstone and Archaean quartzite, in the 

 mountains. Collected by Dr. Small on Stone Mountain, 

 by Mr. Wilson on Rocky Face Mountain and by myself 

 on Pigeon Mountain, in 1900. In November, 1(^03, I 

 saw it in Rabun and Habersham Counties, in the gorge 

 of Tallulah Falls. Evergreen. 



Polystichum acrostichoides Schott. In rich woods, 

 nearly throughout the State except in the pine barrens. 

 It seems to be almost always associated with the beech 

 and white oak, and curiously enough, its whole range is 

 just about the same as that of these two trees. 



Cystopteris bulbifera Bernh. Collected on rocks on 

 Lookout Mountain, by Prof. Ruth in July, 1898. 



Onoclea sensibilis L. In swamps and other places 

 subject to inundation, in nearly every county in the upper 

 third of the coastal plain, also in Clarke County in the 

 Piedmont region, but nowhere abundant. 



Woodsia obtusa Torr. Frequent on rocks in Middle 

 Georgia (Jackson, Clarke, DeKalb, Upson, Glascock and 

 Muscogee Counties), also in Whitfield (Wilson) and
