merely tlie study of the habits of Ferns — a study under its 
most delightful aspects, of the most graceful of the shade- 
and-moisture-loving inhabitants of the plant world. It will 
suggest abundant opportunity for the study of the general 
features of Nature— her mountains, her valleys, her clustering 
woods, with their roaring torrents, or gently murmuring 
streams.
