recommendation of existing ones, so that altogether the 

 Editor congratulates himself this time upon a very satis- 

 factory response to his appeals for practical support in all 

 these directions. Trusting that such support may be 

 continued, and that the coming year may witness the 

 advent of a lasting Peace on healthy and durable lines, the 

 Editor cordially conveys to all friends the customary 

 greetings of the season. 



New members are wanted, and the Editor would regard 

 as a favour the receipt of name and address of any known 

 British Fern lover not on our list, and to whom we might 

 send a specimen copy of the Gazette. The annual sub- 

 scription to the Society is only 5s. from August to August, 

 and entitles to four issues of the Gazette, plus association 

 with a large number of fellow students of our beautiful 

 British Ferns. 



The British Fern Gazette, Vol. 2, Nos. 13 to 

 24. — The Editor would again remind members that a 

 small number of Vol. 2 have been bound into a very 

 presentable volume of 313 pages and numerous illustra- 

 tions. As no reprint will be available, and the books are 

 widely recognized as most valuable contributions to our 

 Fern literature, the opportunity of acquiring copies, even 

 extra ones, should not be lost sight of. The price to 

 members is 3s. gd. post free, and speedy application is 

 advisable to secure, as only a few are left.

The subscriptions for 1916-17 being due in advance, 

 the Hon. Secretary would feel much obliged by a 

 remittance of 5s. by return post to 11, Shaa Road, 

 Acton, London, W. 



The Editor.
