 P0LYP0DIACEAE. 

 Nephrodium spinulosum Desv. Two specimens only were 

 found and collected at Skykomish. Habitat, deep woods ; appar- 

 ently rare. 



Woodsia scopulina D. C. Eaton. Collected by Kirk Whited, 

 July 6, 1901, at Rainbow Falls at the head of Chelan Lake, 

 Chelan county, Washington. This fern dries up when exposed 

 to the sun during the summer season. 



Phegopteris dryopteris (L.) Fee. Frequent in the rich woods 

 at Skykomish. Collected by Kirk Whited at Stevens Pass on 

 the Great Northern railway. 



Adiantum pe datum L. Frequent in rich woods along the river 

 in the vicinity of Skykomish. Specimens were observed nearly 

 three feet in height, much exceeding those usually found in the 

 Mftiland States. 



Pteris aquilina lanuginosa Hook. Underw. Frequent in open 

 places at Skykomish. Also collected in Chelan county, Wash- 

 ington. 



Polypodium falcatum Kellogg. Frequent on the trunks of trees 

 at Skykomish. The sight of a bed of ferns displayed on the side 

 of a tree is a novelty to a resident of the midland region. The 

 ferns seem to be striving to rise above the excessive shade and 

 moisture present at the surface of the ground. 



Lomaria spicant Desv. Frequent in the rich fir woods in the 

 vicinity of Skykomish. The thrifty fronds were found growing 

 in large clumps.

 the rocks, Mt. Stuart. Collected by Kirk Whited, July 20, 1898. 

 Underwood in " Our Native Ferns," 6th edition, mentions for 

 locality, " near Mt. Shasta, California." 



Polystichum munition inciso-scrratum D. C. Eaton. Seemingly 

 frequent in rich fir woods in the vicinity of Skykomish. A speci- 

 men is at hand collected near Montesano, Chehalis county, by
