30 American Fern Journal 



obviate the necessity of having their names stricken 

 from the waiting list. The Treasurer asks each of 

 you to be lenient for a time and call attention promptly 

 to mistakes that may occur. He also earnestly re- 

 quests every member when sending in dues to send 

 his full name, first name, middle name, and last name 

 written very plainly with the correct address that he 

 may revise his list of members. 



Attention is called to our constitution, which contains 

 the following: 



" Article 3, Section 6. No member in arrears for 

 dues shall vote, hold office, or receive the publications 

 of the Society/' 



The Executive Council is endeavoring to live up to 

 the rules; if you wish to receive the Journal please see 

 that your dues are paid promptly to Treasurer Floyd. 



Since the manuscript for the Annual Report was pre- 

 pared several additions to the Society Herbarium have 

 been made. Dr. 0. E. Jennings has given 15 sheets 

 from Ontario in addition to those previously noted. 

 Prof. H. H. Tracy has donated 23 sheets of California 

 specimens, and Miss Laura F. Kimball 3. 



Prof. Tracy's contribution contained five species 

 which are rather rare as well as being new to the Her- 

 barium, viz., Polystichum calif ornicum (Eat.) Diels., 

 Diels., Polystichum Lemmoni Underw., Botrychhm 

 silaifolium Pr., Dryopteris oregana C. Chr. (D. nevadencis 

 Underw.), and Pellaea brachyptera (Moore) Baker. 

 Miss Kiml.all added the very rare Ophioglossum cali- 

 fornicum Prantl. These have all been mounted and 

 catalogued, making the total number of sheets now in 

 the Herbarium 1263.
