 specimens). Xephrodium acrostichoides, N. nove- 

 boraccnse, Phegopteris hexagonoptera, Camptosoms 

 rhizophyllus, Asplenium angustifoliiim, A. ebeneum, 

 Athyrium thelypteroide.s } A. tilix-focmina, Adiantwm

Martin and Orange Counties. 



The ferns identified in these counties were collected 

 on a walking trip from Indiana Springs, [Martin 

 County to French Lick Springs. Orange County. 

 Both sandstone and limestone cliffs occur but 

 nearly all the species listed here were found in the 

 sandstone area. [Many other species could undoubtedly 

 be found in other parts of the counties. 



Botrychium Virginianum, Onoclea sensibilis, Wood- 

 sia obtusa, Dicksonia pilosiuscula, Cystopteris fragilis 

 Xephrodium acrostichoides, N. marginale, N. goldie- 

 anuMj N. spinulosum intermedium, Phegopteris 

 hexagonoptcra, Camptosorus rhizophyllus, Asplenium 

 pinnatitidum } A. cbcncum, A. angustifoliiim, Athy- 

 rium thelypteroideSj Adiantum pedatum, Pellaea 

 atropurpurea, Polypodium vulgare, P. incamim. The 

 last species was seen in the forks of a tree about 

 eighteen feet above the earth, on the grounds of the 

 French Lick Springs Hotel, and having no means of 

 reaching it, the identification is based on the habit of 

 the species of growing in trees. (See Floyd County 

 list).
