these localities, subsequently found lialf-a-dozen roots in the 
first of them. Mr. Wilson informs me that in 1843 he gathered 
a few fronds of this fern, near my Llanrwst station for A. septen- 
trionale, and that it was first observed there by his brother, Mr. 
H. Wilson, two years previously. 
Cornwall. — I am indebted to Mr. Greenwood for some fine 
specimens gathered near Penzance. Mr. Ralfs informs me it is 
common in many places near Penzance and St. Ives. Mr. 
Watson gives me the former of these localities. Mr. D. Peir- 
son informs me he has found it at the Manacles, the Logan 
rock, &c. 
Devonshire. — The Rev. W. S. Hore has obligingly sent me 
specimens, accompanied by the following habitats : — Morwell 
rocks, on the banks of the Tamar ; rocks on the Tavy, opposite 
Virtuous Lady mine ; rocks near Cann quarry, on the banks of 
the Plym ; and on a damp mud wall at Buckland Monachorum. 
In addition to some of these localities, Mr. Ralfs informs me he 
has found it near Tavistock, and by the sea at Salcombe. I am 
indebted to Miss Griffiths and Mr. Bey non for specimens from 
Torquay, where it seems first to have been observed by Mr. 
Beynon in 1842, deeply seated in the interstices of a stone wall 
— of loose, open construction, and having a southerly aspect — - 
not far above high-water-mark, near the mouth of a small brook 
about half-a-mile from the town. 
Gloucestershire. — Mr. Lees informs me he found it on a 
wall at Beechly, near the junction of the Severn and the Wye : 
Oldbury and Court woods have been published as stations ; Mr. 
Watson adds Pennant rocks near Stapleton, on the authority of 
Mr. Thwaites ; and Mr. Thwaites himself has published the 
following note in ‘ The Phytologist.’ — - Mr. J. W. Ewing, of 
Norwich, who resided here for some time a few years ago, dis- 
covered the plant growing on a bank at Stapleton, about three 
miles from Bristol, and pointed out the spot to me. Not paying- 
much attention to the ferns at that time, the circumstance es- 
caped from my memory, until reminded of it by a friend who 
was with us at the time. I have recently revisited the spot and 
again found the plant, but growing there very sparingly ; how-
