THE LINNAEAN FERN CHAPTER 



OF THE AGASSIZ ASSOCIATION. 



— Mr. Alvah A. Eaton, Seabrook, N. H , wishes to hear from 

 all who find Eqaisetumpratense this year. Drop him a postal. — C. 



— Mr. Will R. Maxon, our efficient secretary, has accepted a 

 position in the U. S. National Museum, Washington, where letters 

 for him should be addressed. — C. 



— Alvah A. Eaton offers specimens of Ophioglossum arenarium 

 E. G. Britton, for five cents, and type specimens of Botrychium 

 tenebrosum A. A. Eaton, for eight cents, or both for ten cents. 



— The revised constitution will be published in the annual re- 

 port, soon to be issued. This will also contain a list of the mem- 

 bers of the Chapter. Any changes of "address should be reported 

 to the secretary at once. — C. 



— The Chapter herbarium will not make it less desirable to 

 gather liberally for others. The large number of specimens taken 

 in each distribution shows that many herbaria are far from com- 

 plete yet. People wish to own, even if they can borrow. — E. 



— The report containing the papers read at the Boston meeting 

 has just been published, and it may be had by addressing James 

 A. Graves, Susquehanna, Pa. The price is twenty-five cents. 

 Members of the Fern Chapter may obtain copies at 15 cents each. 



— Members are solicited to keep the Chapter herbarium in mind 

 and gather specimens for it. The president places his whole local 

 herbarium temporarily at the use of members. For conditions 

 see the officers' reports. Letters about specimens, etc. must be 

 accompanied by postage to secure a reply. — E. 



My Osmunda Claytoniana clumps are thirty years old, and 

 many fronds have seven pairs of fertile pinnae. — Mrs, A. D. 

 Moore, Corning, N. Y. 



Miss Edith Bates writes that among a collection of Japanese 

 ferns recently received by her, there is a plant of Camptosorus 

 Sibericus, two fronds of which have taken root at the apex and 

 produced new plantlets.
