AMERICAN FERN SOCIETY 95 
Members who are in California this summer should 
not fail to attend the Society meeting at the Herbarium 
of the University of California, Hearst Mining Building, 
Berkeley, at 2 P. M., Monday, August 2. A notice of 
it appeared in the last number of the JOURNAL. 
A pleasant fern meeting was held at Worcester, Mass., 
on May 8, in the rooms of the local Natural History 
Society, to whom, and especially to their curator, Mrs. 
Horr, thanks are due. About 25 persons were present. 
Mr. Jackson welcomed the visitors to Worcester, point- 
ing out, among other things, that that city has one 
member of the Fern Society to every 50,000 of its in- 
habitants and that if the same ratio were maintained 
throughout the United States, the Society would num- 
ber 1,800—a millenial condition. Short talks on var- 
ious subjects of interest to fern lovers were given by 
Miss Rowe, Miss Marshall, and Messrs. Bissell, Ware, 
and Winslow, and there was a liberal display of speci- 
mens, local and exotic. It is, not for the first time, 
earnestly recommended that members in other parts of 
the country: get together for similar local meetings. 
They are worth the trouble.
