Macoun, though north of Lake Ontario to the east- 

 ward it ranges somewhat farther south. In about the 

 same latitude as Parry Sound is Petoskey, Mich., the 

 only station in the southern peninsula of Michigan 

 named in Beal's Michigan Flora. Since he refers for 

 authority to a much older catalogue, that of Winchell. 

 published in 1S61, it is evident that no one has since 

 reported it from that locality. In 157S I used several 

 days botanizing at Petoskey and the vicinity, some of 

 the time along Bear Creek., the stream Winchell names 

 as the special locality, but I did not meet with it. 

 though ferns of several kinds were plentiful in the re- 

 gion. And while on various occasions studying the 

 flora along the shores of Lake Michigan in Michigan 

 and Wisconsin, and in the northern peninsula of 

 Michigan, aggregating in all several months, I have 

 never come across it. One station is given by Beal in 

 the northern peninsula. Keweenaw County, where it 

 has been found by O A. Farwell. West of these 

 Michigan localities it finds a place in some parts of 

 southeastern Minnesota, or wes: of the Missisippi 

 river. As connecting these somewhat widely separated 

 place it is likely to be found in northern Wisconsin, 

 but the lists I find for that state with specified locali- 

 ties are mainly for the southern portion, so that, since 

 these do not record it, there is no evidence that it oc- 

 curs in the northern part of the state. 



For the westward distribution south of the latitude 

 of Lake Erie there is the station already mentioned 

 for Erie County. New York and the one at Edinboro. 

 Penn. In the Fern Bulletin for January. 1908, Lewis 

 S. Hopkins reports it for Ohio, but not plentiful, the 

 only station specifically named being Geauga County, 

 in about the same range as the one in Pennsylvania.
