Lastrcea crisfata, Presl. Oxton Bog, Notts. Leg. Dr. John 
Percy, F.R.S., 1837-38. Com. J. Cosmo Melvill. — Some three 
years ago I purchased a large portion of the botanical collections 
of the late Dr. John Percy, F.R.S. Among them are a considerable 
number of specimens of Lasfraa cristata, Presl, from Oxton Bog, 
long since drained. As this fern is becoming every year more and 
more rare, and will soon be quite extinct in this country (for instance 
in 1878 I only noticed three clumps of it at Wybunbury, in Cheshire) 
I have much pleasure in sending several sheets for distribution among 
the members. — J. Cosmo Melvill.
