POLYPODIACEiE. 
Shropshire. — Mr. Westcombe also observed it on the Shrop- 
shire or Titterstone Clee hill ; and it has been found near the 
town of Ludlow by Mr. Westcott. 
Staffordshire. — Mr. Pinder gives me Pidge hill and Made- 
ley manor as stations where he has observed it. 
Sussex. — Mr. Jenner discovered this fern in the great bog 
near Forest row, and has very obligingly supplied me with spe- 
cimens from this locality. 
Westmoreland. — Miss Beever and Mr. Pinder speak of this 
fern as of common occurrence in Westmoreland, at Ambleside, 
Grassmere &c. ; Mr. Hindson gives me Hutton roof and Cas- 
terton fell as habitats; and Mr. S. Thompson mentions Dufton 
and Shap fells. 
Yorkshire. — In this county the Beech Fern occurs in a great 
number of stations, and in most instances in abundance. Mr. 
Hardy gives me Sheffield as a habitat ; Mr. Tatham, Settle ; Mr.

Scawton howle, near Helmesley, Buttercrambe moor, Lang with

dale, Penhill, Bellerby moor, Shibden dale, Ogden dough, vale 
of Todmorden, &c. 
Isle of Man. — Professor E. Forbes has found it in this island. 
In Scotland this fern seems to be much more generally distri-

list of localities is less copious than the English list. 
Aberdeenshire. — Mr. Watson informs me he has found it on 
mountains about Braemar and Castleton.

Ballahulish and in the Pass of Glencroe ; Mr. Babington obtained 
it at Crinnan.

several other places on the banks of Loch Lomond and Loch 
liong; Mr. Gourlie has found it on Ben Voirlich.
