THE FERN BULLETIN 



Ledges on Aug. 18th and on the 23d a friend of mine, 

 F. N. Barber, of Crafton, Pa., and myself found it in 

 considerable quantity growing at a place called Wood- 

 worths' Glen in Portage Co. 



This Lycopodhim, whether "Selago" or not, grows 

 on the exposed face of conglomerate cliffs along the 

 cracks or seams, seeming to prefer the upper and more 

 inaccessable points of rocks where it flourishes, green 

 and fruitful. However, our rocks are mere outcrops 

 worn by streams or glacial ice and do not exceed 50 

 feet in height and our general altitude is not above 

 1000 feet. L. Selago has not, to my knowledge been 

 reported from Ohio. 



Phalanx, Ohio. 



[As Mr. Rood suggests, the specimens sent were 

 not specimens of Lycopodium selago, but of L. luci- 

 dulum porophilum. L. Selago is not found at low alti- 

 tudes so far south. In passing it may be noted that the 

 new "Gray's Manual" gives as the habitat "mountains 

 and cold ravines." It is quite apparent, however, that 

 this form is due to drouth rather than to cold or eleva- 

 tion and may be expected wherever the type is found on 

 cliffs. — Ed.] 



Woodsia Oregana — This species, though named for 

 a State in the Far West is also recorded from Northern 

 Michigan and Wisconsin. There seems to be no good 

 reason why it should not be found further east and it 

 was recently reported by Prof. M. L. Fernald as abund- 

 ant in Rimouski Co., Quebec. Mr. Fernald suggests 

 that it may yet be found in the higher elevations in 

 V ermont.
