POLYPODIACE.E. 



Polypodium vulgare L. On granite and sandstone 

 rocks in the upper half of the State. I have found it at 

 a single station in Clarke County (probably the southern- 

 most station in the Eastern United States), at an altitude 

 of little more than 600 feet. (See Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 

 27:30. 1900). It has also been collected at 3000 feet 

 in Rabun County (Northeast Georgia) by Dr. Small, and 

 at 1400 feet in Whitfield County (Northwest Georgia) 

 by Mr. Wilson. Evergreen. 



Polypodium incanum Sw. In shaded places through- 

 out the State, but not abundant. It seems to prefer rocks 

 wherever they are present, as has been noted by a number 

 of botanists in the last few years, but in the coastal plain 

 it of course usually has to take to trees. Evergreen. 



Adiantum Capillus- Veneris L. Known only from 

 Southwest Georgia, where it grows on damp shaded cliffs 

 of Cretaceous, Eocene and Lower Oligocene limestone. 

 (See Fern Bull 7: 65. 1899; Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 27: 

 425. 1900; 30:319. 1903; 31: 16. 1904). I have 

 found it in the counties of Dooly, Lee, Dougherty, Quit- 

 man, Clay, Early, and Decatur. It is known from Palaeo- 

 zoic rocks in Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee, and 

 may turn up sometime in Northwest Georgia. 



Adiantum pedatum L. In rich shady woods in the 

 cooler portions of the State. Frequent in the mountains, 

 where several botanists have collected it. Known also 

 from Clarke, Fulton, and Campbell Counties in Middle 

 Georgia and Clay County in the Eocene region of the 

 coastal plain. (See Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 31: 16. 1904). 

 I have seen specimens from only three other coastal plain 

 localities : Havana Glen in the Cretaceous region of Ala- 

 bama, collected by Prof. Underwood (see Bot. Gas. 

 22: 410. 1896), but not mentioned from that part of the 

 State by Dr. Mohr; also from Monroe County (Creta- 

 ceous) and Holmes County (Eocene) in Mississippi, the 

 two latter collected about a dozen years ago by W. L. 

 McGee and distributed by Prof. Tracy. Another coastal 

 plain station for it. in Lousiana, has been reported by
