THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA PRESENTED BY PROF. CHARLES A. KOFOID AND MRS. PRUDENCE W. KOFOID INDIAN FERNS ALBUM OF INDIAN FERNS in FROM ORIGINAL WATER-COLOUR DRAWINGS BY C E. BAYNES. LONDON : PUBLISHED BY WILLIAM DAY, 2iA, BERNERS STREET. 1887 LONDON : CHROMO-LITHOGRAPHED BY EMRIK AND BINGER, 2IA, BERNERS STREET, W. PREFACE. ENCOURAGED by the kind wishes of friends, as well as the opinions of less partial advisers, I have ventured to publish my Album of Indian Ferns. In doing so I have simply given them their names, believing that any attempt at fuller de- scription would not add to their value in the eyes of those merely seeking some idea of their natural beauty on their native hills ; while it would be unneeded by those already specially interested in the Fern Family, and who will regard them only as renewing or augmenting their acquaintance with it. I would gladly think that some who may glance at the results of my careful study, whether botanists or not, may experience some of the pleasure I enjoyed while pursuing it in my mountain abode on the Shevaroys.
