PREFACE. 
are wanted to show the characters of genera and species, some 
few only have been omitted as not distinguishable in figures 
on so small a scale. The Remote Buckler Fern, introduced 
to the British Flora by Mr. Clowes, and first described in the 
Addenda to Mr. Moore’s 8vo. edition of Nature -printed British 
Ferns, 1862, has, I believe, been engraved only once before now. 
So much of Preface seemed right to explain the nature 
of the work and to render fitting acknowledgements and thanks. 
I have only farther to say that I shall be obliged to any one 
who will favour me by either pointing out possible errors or 
giving me information as to new varieties or habitats.
