BEAUTIFUL FERNS. 
Wantastiquet, New Hampshire; I find it plentiful and fine in 
the deep ravine called Roaring Brook, in Cheshire, Connecticut; 
Professor Porter has it from Burgoon’s Gap, in the Alleghany 
Mountains of Pennsylvania; Mrs. McCall, near Madison, Ohio; 
Mr. Williamson “found it in great abundance near the Little 
Rockcastle River, in Laurel County,” Kentucky, and Mr. Cur- 
tis has twice sent me fine specimens, with very dark scales at 
the base of the stalks, from the Peaks of Otter, Virginia. 
The name is sometimes written Goldieanum; I give the 
name as it occurs in Goldie’s original paper in the Edin- 
burgh Philosophical Journal. 
The specimen drawn by Mr. Faxon is from Vermont, and is rep- 
resented about two-thirds of the natural size.
