PlLICES. 
Ferns are comparatively numerous, but are mostly species of a wide range 
and well adapted to bear a considerable degree of drought. The only striking 
forms here are Davallia parallela and several Hymenophyllacese. Some of them] 
however, I found totally shrivelled up in April; amongst them Yittaria, Davallia, 
A.splenium falcatum, and the few Hymenophyllacese.
