In a circular letter signed by the President and re-

 reprinting. It is as follows : "Send items of news for 

 publication in The Fern Bulletin to the Secretary. Do 

 not be over modest but report all changes of residence, 

 botanical excursions, weddings, elections to office, etc. 

 This will help us to get interested in each other. Do 

 not hesitate to send to members of the Executive Com- 

 mittee any criticisms and suggestions regarding the 

 conduct of Society affairs."
