The magazine was begun as the Linn^ean Fern Bul- 

 letin, and the first three volumes were numbered con- 

 secutively, but each issue was paged independently. Vol- 

 ume IV. was increased in size and paged through the 

 volume. With the beginning of Volume V. the title was 

 changed to the present one and the present size of page 

 adopted. The Fern Bulletin, therefore, may be said 

 really to begin with Volume V. This volume has been 

 out of print for many years, and sets containing it are 

 constantly increasing in value. We contemplate printing 

 a list of those owning sets complete from the beginning 

 of this volume, and will appreciate it if the owners will 

 inform us by postal card. It may interest our subscrib- 

 ers to know that more back volumes have been sold dur- 

 ing the past year than have been sold in any other three 

 years together. This speaks well for the continued inter- 

 est in fern study.
