THE FERN BULLETIN 



showing a fine grading, from the normal down. These 

 plants were growing far back in the bushes, together 

 with the cinamon, marsh and lady ferns, well protected 

 by tall blackberry vines, where neither mowing ma- 

 chine or scythe could possibly have reached them.

MORE ADDITIONS TO THE CHECKLIST. 



In publishing the Check-list of North American 

 Fernworts it was inevitable that some inconspicuous 

 forms should have been overlooked and that others 

 should have been described after the part of the list 

 which would naturally contain them was in print. It 

 is our purpose to call attention to these as they are lo- 

 cated and at present we add the following : 



Nephrodium spinulosum f. a x a de x i u m ( Robin- 

 son) Aspidium spinulosum anadeniam Robinson. This 

 is said by the author to be in all respects like .V. s. dila- 

 tatum with the exception that the indusium lacks 

 glands. 



Lycopodium Selago f. patexs (Beauv.) This 

 plant with slightly narrower, spreading leaves is re- 

 ported from Quebec and Northern Vermont, It is 

 without doubt the plant that has given rise to the opin- 

 ion that L. Selago runs into L. lucidulum. Apparently 

 the same form was collected in Europe by Mr. Robt. A. 

 Ware who identified it as L. lucidulum. Whether there 

 is any close connection between the form and species 

 remains to be determined. 



Lycopodium clavatum brevispicatum Peck. This 

 has short spikes solitary or in pairs and is reported 

 from Northern Xew York.
