the Aspidiutn sinntlatum in "deep wet woodlands" I 

 stumbled upon quantities of the plants, growing on the 

 bank of a brook, in open sunlight. Its companions 

 were marsh, cinnamon, crested, spinulose wood ferns, 

 and a short distance away, on higher ground the Xew 

 York fern grows. 



Osmuxda cixxamomea ixcisa. — There is a colony 

 of Osmunda cinnamomea incisa growing on low 

 ground, on the border of a wood about half a mile

 Standish. Maine what I thought a group of Botry-

 hundred feet long by fifty feet wide, extending through 

 a hay field. It begins at the shore of a pond and ends in 

 an alder thicket. This meadow and field were mowed 

 during the first week of July and no cattle ever enter 

 there. On August 29th, 1907, Mr. Scoullar. Miss 

 Alice Paine and I. divided this meadow, each taking 

 a portion, and searched it carefully for the obusilobata 

 form of Onoclca sensibilis without success, until we 

 reached the alder thicket, where we found three clumps
