Abstract
American Ferns (2). 1. The region around Hot Springs National Park, Garland County, is particularly rich in ferns. Dr. F. J. Scully, 1937, (1), presented a list of 18 ferns which he had found in that vicinity and in 1939 (3) published in mimeographed form a bulletin of the ferns of that region as Number 5 of the local Natural History Journal in which he lists 26 different species and varieties. This is a very nice and reasonably complete list of the ferns of that region. To it may be added five other names. Adiantum capillus-veneris L. has been found in one of the caves near Hot Springs by Mr. E. J. Palmer. Athyrium asplenioides f. subtripinnatum Butters has been found with the typical form of the species in various situations in and near the region. Dr. Scully lists Cystopteris fragilis var. protrusa Weatherby, but does not mention the typical form of the species. Collections of the latter have been made in nearby Magnet Cove, and in all probability it could be found at various other stations.
