EPPING FOREST FERNS. 
By W. RICHTER ROBERTS. 
M R. Roberts, in exhibiting at the meeting on 25th January, 
1913, a set of the Ferns of Epping Forest, made the 
following remarks on the existing fern flora of the district :— 
No doubt some of our members read with some scepticism 
the line on the agenda paper announcing my exhibit ; there 
are few people, I believe, who know of the various species of 
ferns which still linger in the forest, although they are now 
fast disappearing. The climatic conditions of Essex are not 
favourable to luxurious fern growth and what growdh there 
is seems often to be negatived by vandalism. I will, however, 
give a short account of the various species which I and my friends 
have found in the forest.
