For other states of this beautiful and variable little Fern 
we must refer to Plates 77 and 83 of this volume; the 
present is intermediate in size between the original A» 
adiantoides of Raoul (Choix de Plantes de la Nouvelle 
Zelande Tab. 1) and his A. triste , (which are undoubtedly 
varieties of one plant), and in the outline and incision of the 
fronds it is intermediate between our var. minor (t. 83) and 
var. Richardi (t. 77). — J. D. H.
