The fault is not outs that the Fern Bulletin begins each 

 volume without having complete sets of the preceding volume on 

 hand. At present a few odd numbers of various issues are all 

 that we have to offer. We have endeavored to retain enough 

 copies of each issue to supply the subsequent demand for them, 

 and each time we have under estimated it. There are now less 

 than fifty copies of the January, 1897. issue on hand, and those 

 who would have their file of Volume V complete should order a*- 

 once. We cannot supply any complete volumes of the Bulletin. 

 but we will undertake to pick up any missing numbers our sub- 

 scribers may desire, if we are notified at once. The charge for 

 this will be five cents per copy. It is probable that the July issue 

 will find this journal without a back number on hand.

The articles upon the genus Equisetum which Mr. Alvah A. 

 Eaton is preparing for this journal, will be increased in value by 

 a unique plan for illustrating the series. At the time when each 

 is published, sets of the specimens treated will be made up and 

 sent to subscribers to this journal, or members of the fern Chap- 

 ter who desire them, for about the cost of postage. As Mr. Eaton 

 contemplates studies of all the North American species, and their 

 numerous varieties, the value of the specimens to students in 

 connection with the notes upon them is not to be lightly esti- 

 mated. Information of any kind relating to Equisetum will be 

 welcomed, and may be addressed to Mr. Eaton, or to the editor 

 of this journal.
