Prof. Cocks in the October number of this journal. But, 

 as was the case with the Mississippi specimens, we are 

 not informed as to its habitat there. 



Adiaxtum hispidulum Sw. An exotic species, evi- 

 dently an escape, growing in a well in Thomasville (see 

 Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 30: 320. 1903) , where I have ob- 

 served it in three different years. Mrs. Taylor writes me 

 that she now finds it in many wells in that vicinity. 



Pteris Cretica L. An escape, like the preceding. Mr. 

 S. J. Yancey of Porterdale tells me that it is common in 

 wells in Xewton County (in the Piedmont region), and 

 there is a depauperate specimen in the Columbia Univer- 

 sity Herbarium collected in or near Augusta by H. A. 

 Green, Nov. 13, 1893. Miss E. H. Andrews reports it 

 from Washington, another Middle Georgia Station. 



Pteris serrulata L. f. In Underwood's " Xative 

 Ferns " this is reported from Macon, and its occurrence 

 in the vicinity of Thomasville has been mentioned in the 

 Fern Bulletin for January, 1903. Mrs. Taylor tells me 

 that she can hardly believe it to be an escape there. But 

 this is not the first time that it has been suspected of being 

 a native of the United States. (See Eaton, Ferns of 

 N. A., 2:240. 1880.) More evidence on this point is 

 needed. This species is so much like the preceding that 

 they may have been mistaken for each other in some 

 places. 



Pteris aouilixa pseudocaudata Clute (Pteris latius- 

 cula Desv.) Widely distributed over the State, in sandy 

 or gravelly soil. Ascends to 3000 feet in Rabun County, 

 according to Dr. Small. Commonest in the coastal plain, 

 where it is abundant in dry pine-barrens. 



Cheilaxthes Alabamensis Kunze. According: to 

 Kunze (Linncca, 20:$. 1847; Am. Jour. Sci. } II. 6:87. 

 1848), there was a specimen of this in Shuttleworth's 

 herbarium, collected at " Capville, Upper Georgia." Cap- 

 ville is doubtless a misprint (caused by the old way of 

 writing ss) for Cassville. which was at that time the 

 county-seat of what is now Bartow County, in the Palaeo- 

 zoic region.
