THE LINNAEAN FERN CHAPTER 



OF THE AGASSIZ ASSOCIATION. 



— Adiantum pedatumis the species for special study. Make up 

 your notes and send them in. — E. 



— Specimens of Selaginella cinerascens, described in the April 

 Fern Bulletin, are offered to members of the Chapter for ten 

 cents, by Miss Laura F. Kimball, National City, California. — C. 



— One important change in the Constitution is the dropping of 

 the associate class and the substituting of unlimited active mem- 

 bership. It is hoped that all present associates will renew as 

 actives. — E. 



— Through misapprehension of the method of notification of 

 arrearage, several members failed to get the April Bulletin. If 

 they will kindly remit to the treasurer, he will see that they re- 

 ceive it at once. We shall soon adopt a more direct method of 

 notification. — E. 



— Some vexatious, though unavoidable delays in the revision of 

 the Constitution, which is to be published in the annual report, 

 has delayed the latter document. It will be issued as soon as pos- 

 sible, and in the meantime, any member who has recently changed 

 his address, or has a new member to propose, should notify the 

 treasurer at once. — C. 



— The demand for the pamphlet containing the papers read at 

 the Boston meeting, shows that fern students are aware of its 

 value. Members of the Chapter who need extra copies should 

 order before the supply is exhausted. The price is 25 cents. 

 Members who have not had one copy may have the first one upon 

 payment of 15 cents. Orders should be addressed to James A. 

 Graves, treasurer, Susquehanna, Pa. — C. 



— To judge from appreciative words and promises of assistance, 

 the Chapter herbarium will prove popular and successful. We 

 want every one to help, and would like a complete representation 

 of the Pteridophyta of every locality. We hope especial pains 

 will be taken to get all forms of Asplenhim Filix-fc?mina, Dry- 

 opteris cristata and its relatives, as well as other variable 

 species. — E. 



— Mr. W. W. Eggleston reports a forking frond of Woods /a 

 alpina from Mt. Willoughby, Vermont.
