108 American Fern Journal 



merely a thirty-two page number but forty-eight or 



more. 



The editor regrets that the present number of the 

 Journal has been delayed past the end of the quarter 

 in which it was scheduled to appear, especially as this is 

 probably the first time such delay has occurred. Re- 

 sponsibility for the delay does not, however, rest with 



him, nor can it fairly be assigned to any other sing I < 

 individual or agency. It was the result of a number 

 of slight delays due to different causes, and all of them 

 more or less excusable of themselves. We trust no 

 apology may be necessary with the next issue. 



Wanted— I will pay 10 cents per sheel for any North 

 American pteridophytes not now in my collection, or 



will exchange. List of desiderata sent upon applica- 

 tion.— L. S. Hopkins, 525 E. Main St., Kent, Ohio.
