folium, Athyrium thelypteroides and Nephrodium 

 gotdieanum. Higher up on the knobs, particularly on 

 shaded northern slopes, Nephrodium marginale, N. 

 Noveboraeense and Athyrium Mix-foemina are found. 



Blatchley has recorded Ophioglossum vulgatum from 

 Huckleberry Hill, a dry Knobstone point to the north- 

 east, and there is no doubt as to the authenticity of the 

 record although several searches have failed to reveal 

 it to the writer. The knobs yield, in favored places, 

 three more species which appear to be rather rare 

 namely Pteris aquilina, Asplenium cbcncum, and Os- 

 munda regalis. In the limestone region, the edge of a 

 cliff sometimes reveals U T oodsia obtusa, while Camp- 

 tosorus rhisophyUiis commonly covers detached bould- 

 ers at the foot of the cliff. One locality known as 

 Cedar Cliff affords specimens of Pellaea atropurpurea. 

 Near the head of a ravine, in the refreshing spray of a 

 small waterfall, is the most luxurious colony of 

 Cystopteris bulbifcra it has ever been my pleasure to 

 see. 



Botrychium obliquuni and Onoclea sensibilis are 

 found on the Campus of Indiana University besides 

 other places near Bloomington. 



While there are no marshes in the vicinity, Osmunda 

 claytoniana is occasionally found. There is also an au- 

 thentic record of 0. cinnamomea from the bottoms of 

 the Bean Blossom, a creek northeast of Bloomington. 

 The sandstone region to the west is extremely rich in 

 ferns, one small glen furnishing eleven species, among 

 which were Poly podium vulgar e and Nephrodium 

 spinulosum intermedium. This makes, altogether, a 

 list of twenty-five species, all but two of which have 

 been found by the writer and Mr. I. M. Lewis within 

 the last year.
