EDITORIAL NOTES. 



It is with extreme pleasure that the Editor enters upon 

 the compilation of the second volume of the "Gazette," 

 thus creating a record as regards a continued publication 

 confined to our British Ferns and their varieties. As the 

 Report which follows of the Annual Meeting at Arnsideshews, 

 we have now a very respectable contingent of members, but 

 we want more, to enable the " Gazette " to be more freely 

 illustrated and its matter extended. The annual subscrip- 

 tion from August to August is only 5s., moderate enough 

 surely, considering the good fellowship which it facilitates 

 between so many fern lovers and the information the 

 " Gazette" imparts in the four issues which are embraced 

 in the subscription. 



The subscription for 1912-13 is now due, and the 

 Hon. Secretary would be obliged by its remittance at 

 an early date to his address, 11, Shaa Road, Acton, 

 London, W.
