Durham. — Mr. Watson gives me Marsden rocks as a locality, 
on the authority of Mr. Bowman. Mr. Winch says it is also 
found on rocks near Marsden rocks. “ Black-hall dean, west of 
Hartlepool : Rev. J. Dalton. Near Southwick ; Mr. Brunton.” 
Botanists^ Guide. 
Glamorganshire. —I learn from Mr. Dillwyn and other bota- 
nists, that it occurs in the following localities : — near Neath ; 
Mumbles light-house ; between the Mumbles and Penyard-cas- 
tle ; near Swansea ; near Dunraven ; near Oystermouth ; on 
Barry island, coast of Gower ; and plentifully in Bacon’s hole. 
Lancashire. — I believe Bolton first observed this fern in the 
Win wick stone-quarry, near Warrington. Mr. Wilson informs 
me it still grows there, but is always of small size, and rarely 
produces fruit: I am indebted to Mr. Wilson and Dr. Wood for 
specimens from that locality. Mr. Gibson found it about two 
miles from Liverpool, on the way to Runcorn ; Mr. S. Thomp- 
son informs me he has found it at Knot’s hole, the Dingle ; and 
adds, that he is also informed on good authority, that it grows 
on the red sandstone rock in the village of Newton, on the Li- 
verpool and Manchester railway. Mr. Simpson has observed it 
abundantly on the rocks near Heysham, and in a cave at the 
head of Morecambe bay. 
Merionethshire. — I have seen specimens from near Towyn. 
Pembrokeshire. — Mr. Kippist informs me that he observed it 
abundantly in several places along the cliffs between Tenby and 
Saundersfoot ; and Mr. Lees that he found it in deep fissures of 
the trap rocks at Fishguard, and in caves and cavities of the old 
red sandstone near St. Justinian’s chapel, St. David’s, opposite 
to Ramsay island, on St. Catherine’s island, Tenby, &c. 
Somersetshire. — Mr. Grindon informs me that he found it 
in a cave by the rocky beach near Clevedon, on the 6th of July, 
1842. It formerly grew here in great abundance, and also at 
Portishead. 
Sussex. — Ray found this fern about the Castle-rock at Hast- 
ings ; and 1 am informed by Mr. Yarrell, Mr. Borrer and Mr. 
Jenner, that it still exists in the same locality. 
Westmoreland. — Mr. Binder and Mr. Hindson inform me 
they have found it in this county in a sea-cave near Silverdale.
