benefited. Do not wait for a notice from the treasurer. 

 Should any member contemplate resigning from the So- 

 ciety, he should send such resignation to the treasurer 

 and not to the publishers of The Fern Bulletin. The 

 magazine is sent to each member by the Society, and mem- 

 bers who resign are expected to pay for any copies re- 

 ceived during the time between their resignation and the 

 time paid for by their dues. 



Mr. H. E. Ransier, who acted as judge in the recent 

 election, reports the following officers elected for 1907 : 

 President, J. H. Ferriss, Joliet, 111 ; vice-pesident, Dr. D. 

 W. Fellows, Portland, Maine; secretary, Willard N. 

 Clute, Joliet, 111. ; treasurer, Miss Nellie Mirick, Oneida, 

 N. Y. A full account of the election will appear in the 

 Annual Report, which will be issued much earlier in the 

 year than usual. 



The following persons have recently joined the Society : 

 Miss Frances H. Newton, Ooltewah, Tenn. ; Mrs. Alida 

 Kimbell, 410 Church St., Adams, Mass. ; Mrs. C. A. Pear- 

 son, 45 Suffolk St., Holyoke, Mass. ; Mrs. Chas. E. 

 Young, 1706 Oregon Ave., N. W., Washington, D. C. ; 

 Miss Ella S. Ruland, Trudeau, N. Y. ; Mr. Louis Axt, 

 116 Richmond Ave., Port Richmond, N. Y. ; Mr. Rett E. 

 Olmstead, Decorah, Iowa. We are glad to add their 

 names to our rolls. 



In order that the new list of members in the Annual 

 Report may be up-to-date, we request all who have re- 

 cently changed their place of residence to notify the secre- 

 tary or treasurer at once, if they have not already done 

 so. The new list will contain the names of those who 

 have paid dues since January 1, 1906, only. Although 

 dropping all who have resigned during the year, we ex- 

 pect to still have more than one hundred and fifty mem- 

 bers. 



Do not forget the invitations to membership that the 

 officers of the Society are glad to send to all who are 

 interested in ferns, if you will send the addresses. If 

 you are pleased with membership in the Society, pass it 

 along to your friends.
