This problem RfSl became acute with the publication of the. Tern BuoJc, 

 *uiO it iy accordingly proposed to separate the two funds as /torn May I. 

 1955, before that project was. i(coj>t*:<1. The Treasurer assure* ut. that there 

 will he- no diihculty 111 doing tins. An earlier dace, which would give rathet 

 niurt money 10 the Publications Futtft has alio been suggested. 



If the lirst sugyes'tion ig :<coiHt*tl t the Isuildinu ^nd Cefltimgenru**. Fond 

 will continue to receive the proceeds of ^alc o: items published before that 

 dak, and also the proceeds ot any special efforts wc may hold in the future. 

 and o wiU be reimbursed the expenses of publishing the F<:ru Book, M<l 

 be jioi called on to pay for the 2nd edition of ibe Fungus Roo!<. Despite 

 live terms of the resolution establishing it. it alfto receives the proceeds o£ 

 aale. of Chib hadtfes, and it is proposed that this should continue. 



It is proposed that the new fund will take pvOtf the Fern Hook t and thr: 

 new edition o* the Fungiis Book and ajao ^alus of hack numbers of the 

 Naturalist \\\ excess of *20 per year. Il will appatently start life with About 

 £150 in Otsh, and a very substantial rapital iUVKsTect entirely in utt.v>)d 

 volumes 



Oi course, we all realize that the Building and Contingencies Fund is 

 tjinte inadequate for any building purpose, but it is a beginning and the 

 ipontors of this idea fee! thai this subdivision of fundi will serve to remind 

 us that some of our money is earmarked for the purpose, and perhaps 

 encourage u*j to build it y|> io something worth while.
