oa AMERICAN FERN JOURNAL 
Dr. A. J. Grout sends an attractive invitation for a 
field meeting, next July, at his cabin in Newfane, Vt. 
He writes that he can furnish shelter for about twelve 
women and an equal number of men, transportation 
for supplies and guides for excursions and that his wel- 
come holds good for as many days as the party wish to 
Stay. Bedding, food, and, in the case of a very large 
party, tents would have to be furnished by the visitors. 
Photographs sent with his letter show an exceptionally 
beautiful country, and he promises good fern-hunting. 
Further notice will appear in the next number of the 
JOURNAL; meantime, the Secretary will be glad to hear 
from members who think they could attend such a 
meeting, that tentative plans may be made. 
Mr. C. H. Bissell, Southington, Conn., offers Schizaea 
pusilla and Scolopendrium vulgare for postage. The 
number of specimens which he has is somewhat limited, 
but he will make them go as far as possible, on the 
principle of “first come, first served.”

Will any one who knows the present address of Mr. 
Herbert M. Mapes kindly inform the Secretary what it 
is? His address, as last reported, is given in the list 
of members, but letters sent there have been returned.
