Asplenium pinnatifidum ix CONNECTICUT. — The northern 

 range of Asplenium pinnatifidum is regarded as barely reaching 

 New York, but Mr. F. W. Kobbe extends it by reporting the find 

 of specimens at Sharon, Conn., during the past summer. They 

 were found by E. i. Huntington. 



The Range of Nephrodium Patens. — The most recent pub- 

 lication upon the distribution of our ferns says of Nephrodium 

 patens that it is found "from Florida to Alabama and California." 

 From this it may be assumed that it has been found in the three 

 States named and by inference., that it grows in the intervening 

 territory. Mr. Harper does not mention it in his notes on the 

 ferns of Georgia, however, nor does Mr. Gilbert. That it grows 

 in the State I have evidence to prove, in the shape of specimens 

 sent me from Thomasville, Ga., by Mrs. A. P. Taylor. In South- 

 ern Louisiana I have found it plentiful, and Mr. A. A. Heller 

 collected it in Southwestern Texas. Whether it has been found 

 in Arizona and New Mexico does not seem to be known. The 

 stronghold of this species is in the American tropics and it is to 

 be expected in all the territory bordering the Gulf of Mexico. Its 

 range northward, however, is not well defined and we very much 

 need data upon this point. What is its farthest northern station 

 known at present? 



Pteris serrulta ix Georgia. — The occurrence of Pteris ser- 

 rulata in the United States has always been considered adventive, 

 but there seem to be good grounds for believing that if it is not 

 a native, it is well naturalized. A new station in Georgia where 

 it is abundant has been discovered by Mrs. E. M. Smith, who has 

 sent me fine specimens from Thomasville. There they grow 

 on the sloping banks of a small stream in the town. This is not 

 the farthest northern locality for the plant in the State, for it has 

 been reported from Macon, but in the latter station it is doubtless 

 an escape. 



Nephrodium uxitum glabrum in Florida. — This species is 

 usually credited to Florida, but no exact locality is given in any 

 list that I have examined. It is therefore worth recording that 

 Mr. Severin Rapp has found it plentiful about Sanford, Orange 

 county, where it grows in standing water in cypress swamps, often 

 reacning a height of four feet. In Maxon's recent list, this plant
