COPELAND. 
ODONTOSORIA (Presl) Fee. 
1. O. decipiens Ces'ati. 
No. 184, Goodenough Bay, altitude 1,200 m. 
New Guinea. 
This plant seems to me too near to the widespread 0. chinensis; but I have 
the judgment of Christ (Res. Exp. Norland. 8 (1910) 158) to follow in main- 
taining it as distinct. 
2. O. retusa (Cav.) J. Sm. 
No. 170, Ambasi, a rather narrow form. 
Malaya to Melanesia. , 
DENNSTAEDTIA Bernhardi. 
1. Dennstaedtia sp., perhaps Dicksonia delicata F. Muller. 
No. 244- 
This is near to but not identical with D. samoensis ( Brack. ) Moore. 
M ICROLEPI A Presl. 
1. M. Speluncae (L.) Moore. 
Nos. 174, ^55. 
Neither of these is typical, and they are unlike, but they fall within the 
extremes of M. Speluncae as commonly construed. 
TAPEINIDIUM (Presl) Christensen. 
1. T. marg in ale Copel. spec. nova. 
Stipite 50 cm alto, rhachique supra nigris; fronde fere 60 cm alta; 
pinnis maximis 25 cm longis, 1 cm latis, herbaceis, serratis dentibus 
truncatis; soris ad apices plurium venarum, latis non altis, strictissime 
marginalibus. 
No. 283. 
A very large relative of T. pinnatum, with strictly marginal sori, usually 
about 2 mm wide and hardly 0.5 mm deep, evident when the frond is seen from 
above. The margin of the frond is slightly modified. The rachis and upper 
end of the stipe are square. 
2. Tapeinidium sp. 
No. 261. 
This is distinct from any species known to me, but I suspect that it may be 
Davallia longipinnula Cesati. 
LINDSAYA Dryander. 
1. Lindsaya sessilis Copel. species nova. 
Odontoloma gregis L. repentis, stipitibus vix 2 mm longis et indusiis 
fugacibus facile distinguendu ; rhizomate paleaceo repente; fronde 20 
cm vel paullo ultra alta, 4-4.5 cm lata, abrupte acuminata, pinnis utro- 
que latere ca. 35, infimis reductis, medialibus recurvis vel paullo deflexis, 
basi cuneatis, superne inciso-crenatis ; soro apice lobi remoto, parvo, 
indusio minuto transeunte. 
No. 244-
