Christiansen's " Index," and therefore a bit more radical 

 than we are accustomed to in the greater part of Amer- 

 ica. It is interesting to note that many of the Brazilian 

 species are also represented in the West Indies and some 

 extend as far north as our own regions. We note Botry- 

 chium Virginianum, Osmunda rcgalis, O. cinnamomca, 

 frondosa. and several common Lycopodiums. 



The Philippine Journal of Science continues to reflect 

 the activity that characterizes the study of the ferns of 

 the Philippines. In the January number for this year. 

 E. B. Copeland gives an account of the " Comparative 

 Ecology of San Ramon Polypodiacese " that is an excel- 

 lent example of a real contribution to our knowledge of 

 ferns. We shall later make extracts of some of the more 

 interesting portions for this magazine. In the April 

 number an extended account of the Pteridophytes (206 

 in number) of Mt. Halcon. the third highest of Philip- 

 pine mountains, is given.
