Mr. Moore thinks that it may prove a new species, being very distinct in its characters from A. marinum. 8th.--Assimile, (Moore, ) lobed, pinnae elongated. 9th.--Sub-bipinnatum, (Moore, ) deeply pinnatifid. Guernsey. A full description of each is given in Moore's "Nature-printed Ferns." Growing on rocks near the sea-side. I am indebted to Mr. R. T. Millet, and Mr. J. Sidebotham, for plants of this species; to Mr. Sim, of Foot's Cray, and to Mr. Clapham, of Scarbro', for plants of the variety trapeziforme; and for fronds to Mr. R. J. Gray, of St. Thomas', Exeter, and to Mr. Norman, of Hull. It is in all the Nurserymen's Catalogues. The varieties of such as are in cultivation, may be procured of Mr. Sim, of Foot's Cray, and of Mr. Parker, of Holloway. The illustration is from a plant in my own collection.

Subauriculate, membranous, and being slightly crenulate on the margin. Fronds termina...
