page 539 note † I differ from Mr. C. W. Peach in the identification of his Sph. affinis, and prefer calling the form which occurs on the slabs with staphylopteris Peachii, Sph. linearis. What I regard as Sph. affinis differs from S. linearis in having much smaller pinnules. It is most likely that these two ferns should form only one species, and, at the most, S. affinis be regarded as a variety of S. linearis.
