9. The British Ferns^ popularly described. By G. W. 
Johnson. 1857. IGmo, pp. 284 ; woodcuts. — Another 
compilation, aflecting to be as free as possible from 
the jargon of botanical language."" 
The most important enumerations of the British Ferns 
elsewhere to be met with, are those in the British Flora"" 
of Sir W. J. Hooker and Dr. Walker Arnott, and in the 
Manual of British Botany"" of Mr. Babington. Ample 
descriptions, accompanied by the synonyms of the older 
writers, occur in Sir J. E. Smith"s English Flora.""
