In his list of the ferns of the Punjab, printed for private circulation, 
Mr. Trotter wrote : — “ it has been collected at ‘ The Glen ’ near Simla by 
Dr. Watt, Dr. Cattell and myself,” but Mr. Blanford did not admit this ; and 
Mr. Trotter did not include A . tenuifolium in a manuscript list he subsequently 
;ient me ; so I suppose the plants were only A. varians , which is quite different 
m cutting* Beddome’s figure accurately represents the Dehva Dun plant. 
Sub-genus Athyrium, Roth. 
[A. Hohmavhmanum , Kze., was given by Dr. Cattell in his “Handy 
Guide to the known Ferns of the Himalaya ”, Lahore, 1877, as 
having being found at the Chadwick Fails, Simla, and the entry was 
repeated in Mr. Trotter's privately printed list. Mr. Levinge, in a letter 
to Mr, Baker, preserved in theKew Herbarium, said — “ No, 54 ” (Trot- 
ter’s pamphlet). “ I do not believe that A. Hohmaclcerianum, Kze., was 
ever found in the Punjab. What Dr. Cattell got at the Chadwick Falls, 
Simla, (also alluded to by Blanford) was most likely Aspl drepanoplwjllum , 
as I got the latter at Naini Tal in the N.-W. Himalaya’’. I agree with 
Mr. Levinge’ s belief, but not in the suggestion as to what Dr. CattelPs 
plant was, for there is no evidence to support it.]
