As usual, during part of the summer, the editor ex- 

 pects to speak on various out-door topics at several 

 eastern Chautauquas. From July 7 to 11 he will be at 

 the Connecticut Valley Chautauqua. Laurel Park. 

 Mass; from July 13 to 18 at Round Lake. X. Y., from 

 July 20 to 28 at the Connecticut Chautauqua. Plain- 

 ville. Conn., and from July 28 to Aug. 5 at Pine 

 Grove Chautauqua, Canaan, Conn. At most of these 

 he will have charge of the nature-study work and will 

 be glad to meet any who are interested in ferns. A 

 special feature of the work are the daily excursions for 

 specimens upon which many rare plants are usually 

 discovered. At Plainville. Conn., within a radius of 

 three miles nearly forty of the fern-worts have been 

 found including the walking fern, the climbing fern, 

 the cliff-brake, the adder' stongue. and two Selaginellas. 

 Our readers will find that anyone of these chautauquas 

 will afford a week's delightful outing in the company 

 of congenial people at a very moderate cost. Informa- 

 tion regarding rates and program may be obtained by 

 writing Rev. G. M. Brown. Bridgeport, Conn., (for 

 Round Lake.) Rev. E. P. Butler Sunderland. Mass. 

 (for Laurel Park) and Rev. B. F. Gilman, Torrington.
