(Michx.) Gray, forma cristata (Maxon) Clute. When 
she gave up her home at Hubbard House these ferns she 
passed on to the writer. 
She was very fond of the Vermont country and spent 
many summers in Hartland, Pittsford, Bennington and 
Dorset. She was an intimate friend of the late Miss G. 
A. Woolson and Miss Margaret Slosson and with them 
had botanized extensively in Pittsford. Her favorite 
botanizing ground, however, was Dorset. Here she and 
Mr. Allan Bourn made many interesting finds. As a 
result of her botanizing in Dorset she published in the 
Fern Bulletin for January, 1898, a brief article on Dorset 
ferns. This region she regarded as one of the most 
prolific in the country, where in a two hours’ walk she 
could bring home thirty-seven species and _ varieties. 
This article was supplemented by another in the July, 
1905, issue of the same magazine, ‘‘ More about the Ferns 
of Dorset.” At this time she increased her original list 
to fifty-three species and varieties. 
A few years before she died, Mrs. Terry made a collec- 
tion of the ferns of Dorset. This collection was carefully 
mounted by her, and is now preserved in the village 
library in Dorset where it will be available to all.—H. G.

Miss Nellie Mirick, in a recent letter to the Treasurer, 
makes mention of the fact that she has been a member 
of the Society twenty-five years. This has led to a cen- 
sus of the members who joined during the first three 
years of the Society’s life and are still on our rolls. 
There are eleven in all. First come the three charter 
members, Prof. Clute, the founder, Prof. Petty, and Dr. 
Waters. Miss Elmira Elsie Noyes joined in 1893, but 
not as a charter member. After her come Miss Dora 
Radlo, 1894; our President and Miss Harriet Wheeler, 
1895; and, besides Miss Mirick, Mrs. M. A. Noble, 
Charles 0. Rhodes and D. Leroy Topping in 1896. We
