AMERICAN FERN Socrery 97 
Mrs. Judith Hopkins Coffin died at Newburyport, 
Massachusetts, July 22, 1919. She was born in Novem- 
ber, 1831. Mrs. Coffin became a member of the Lin- 
naean Fern Chapter early in 1896 and was much inter- 
ested in the American Fern Society to the last of her 
life. She not long ago donated to the Society several 
volumes of the Fern Bulletin and of the American 
Fern Journal. She had collected and mounted speci- 
mens of the ferns and fern allies of Essex County, Massa- 
chusetts, and to the end of her life retained her mental 
faculties and interest in everything. She was a woman 
of rare graces of character and much could be said of 
the sweet simplicity of her life, of her kindliness and 
thoughtfulness for others, her courage and high ideals. |

The Journat is indebted to the generosity of Pro- 
fessor L. 8. Hopkins for Plate 4 in this number and 
also for the photograph from which Plate 5 was made. 
By one of those typographical errors which form the 
subject of every editor’s nightmares, the asterisk which 
should have gone with the name of Miss Blanche Turner 
in the additions and corrections to the list of members 
in the last number, was transferred to that of Miss 
Sarah F. Sanborn. The editor in charge of the proof- 
reading can only tender Miss Sanborn his most contrite 
apologies and wish her long life and happiness.—C. A. W.
