be mentioned Nephr odium fragrans, Polystichum Braunii, Wood- 

 sia glabella, and W. hyperborea. There are also two Lycopods 

 to be included in this list, L. annotinum pungens and L. Sitch- 

 ense. 



IV. The Western Region, extending from the mountain 

 regions to the State's western boundary, the southern part 

 drained by the Susquehanna and its tributaries, and the northern 

 part containing (a) The Salt Basin of Syracuse and its vicinity, 

 the home of Scolopendrium and Botrychium Onondagense, and 

 (b) The Central Basin, extending from Little Falls to Oneida 

 Lake, and drained by the Mohawk River, being famous for its 

 large number of Botrychia, some of which seem to be almost, 

 if not quite, peculiar to this region. 



In the preparation of this list I have consulted various local 

 floras and other reports of the State, especially Paine's "Cata- 

 logue of Plants Found in Oneida County and Vicinity ;" the An- 

 nual Reports of the State Botanist, "The Flora of the tipper 

 Susquehanna," and the files of the Fern Bulletin. I have also 

 been favored with many notes from the State Herbarium sheets 

 by Professor Peck himself ; while my own herbarium and that of 

 Dr. J. V. Haberer, of Utica, have been exceedingly useful in fix- 

 ing definite localities. 



The plan I have followed is to include along with the species 

 only such varieties as seem to be most important and distinct. 



Mr. Bush in The Torrey Bulletin for June, 1903, enumerates 

 59 species and varieties of ferns found in Texas. This compares 

 well with our list of 64 species and varieties in New York State, of 

 which only 18 of these are common to both States. Mr. Reverchon's 

 list for Texas, published in the Fern Bulletin, April, 1903. gives 

 51 ferns and 15 allies, or 66 in all. The present list includes 53 

 species and 12 varieties of ferns, and 23 species and 7 varieties 

 of fern allies. If we take Bush's ferns and Reverchon's allies, 

 there are 74 species and varieties known in Texas, or 20 less than 

 I have enumerated in New York. 



Ophioglossaceae. 



Botrychium lanceolatum Angs. Open upland woods in the 

 eastern part of State. Not reported from western part. Scarce. 



Botrychium matricariaefolium A. Br. In same localities with 

 B. lanceolatum, but more plentiful.
