This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1882 Excerpt: ...possessing fewer are separated. He therefore seems to modify his specific characters to include it, and in modifying them thus, leaves them sufficiently open to admit several other supposed species. It appears from the figure that the pinna is more tapering, and therefore shorter, than those of G. stiriaca, and all the veins more sinuous. The indistinct specimen from Cape Lyell has the exact outline of this species. 1 Figure 16 shows the strongest denticulation present in the drawing of the fine specimen of L. helvetica in the third volume. G. stiriaca is supposed by linger and Heer to resemble G. proliferal "of tropical America,"2 which Fern, however, it is well known, is a native of all the tropics except that one. The venation is not uncommon among Ferns, and is met with in Acrostichum and Nephrodium, as well as in Goniopteris, but the arrangement of the sori is more characteristic of the latter. In the fossil state it has been found in France, Germany, Italy, &c, and seems to characterise principally the Middle and Upper Eocenes, and Oligocene. It appears to have been of much larger growth than G. Bunburii, and possessed more numerous and simply curved, instead of sinuous or angulated, veins. The original specimens are too indistinct to be satisfactorily refigured, and we have, therefore, reproduced fig. 19 and part of fig. 20 from pl. v, 'Flora of Bovey, ' and an unpublished enlargement (fig. 21) by Mr. Fitch, of Kew, who has placed his original sketches for that work at our disposal. Woodwardia? Venosa, Ett. and Gard. Plate X, fig. 5, 5 a.
