EDITORIAL NOTE. 



In this issue the Editor is again glad to include some 

 contributions from members, though he would be more 

 gratified if these were more numerous in view of the large 

 increase of membership due to the establishment of the 

 " Gazette." He also hopes that now the season is in 

 full swing he may receive fronds or photos of fresh 

 acquisitions either from fern hunters or fern raisers ; 

 accompanied by stamps for return postage in case of need. 

 The list of members, with their addresses, given at the end 

 of this issue should be of value, and it is to be hoped will 

 be largely extended by the present members calling the 

 attention of their fern-loving friends to the existence of the 

 Society, and the publication of the " Gazette," a specimen 

 copy of which will be willingly sent to any one likely to 

 join. The annual subscription of 5s., payable either to the
