of the Island of St. Vincent . 1 7 1 
Monogramme gr amine a, Schk. 
Taenitis angustifolia , R. Br. 
Marattia alata , Sm. 
Equisetum palustre^ L. 
Out of this list of 26 species I have no hesitation in striking 
out three as mistakes, the Equisetum , the Monogramme , and 
Asplenium marinum. There remain the endemic Cyathia 
tenera and 22 species all likely to occur in any West Indian 
Island. This leaves, as our census for St. Vincent, 168 
species, which is a large number for an island only 140 square 
miles in area. Most of the species are widely spread through 
Tropical America, and it will be noticed that only four of 
them are endemic.
