 lected for the Society for 1906 : President. James H.

 Treasurer. C. F. Saunders. Philadelphia. Pa. A full ac-

The mailing list of the Ferx Bulletin is made up 

 from the list of members published in the Annual Report 

 of the Society and in order that members receive their 

 copies of the magazine it is important that this list be 

 correct. Vour name in that list at present stands as ad- 

 dressed on this copy of the magazine. If not correct, 

 have it changed at once before the Xew Report is printed. 



There has been an unusual number of new members 

 admitted to the Society during the past quarter. Follow- 

 ing is the list : Miss M. A. Marshall, Still River. Mass. : 

 Miss Alice V. Card, 205 South Perry street. Johnstown. 

 X. Y. ; Miss Bridget M. Rooney. St. Johnsbury. Vt. : Mr. 

 Percy L. Grubb. 713 Capitol street. Harrisburg, Pa. ; Mr. 

 Everett O. Brown. Pomfret Center, Conn., and Mr. A. 

 B. Klugh, Guelph, Ontario, Canada. These names will 

 be added to the list in the Annual Report soon to be pub- 

 lished. 



The Linnaean Fern Chapter changed its name to the 

 American Fern Society just in time to take in chapters 

 of its own. The first of these is the Woodsia Chapter of 

 Muscatine, Iowa. This is an Iowa idea that may well be 

 followed. In many cities there are large numbers of 

 fern students who might profitably form a chapter for an 

 occasional outing for ferns or the reading and discussion 

 of papers about them. Such chapters pay one dollar an- 

 nually to the Society and receive one copy of the Fern 

 Bulletin. The members rank as associate members but 

 their individual names will not appear in the list of mem- 

 bers. The chapters have all the rights of individual 

 members and are self-°-overnino\ If members in other 

 cities wish to organize such a chapter, the names of all 

 known fern students in the vicinity will be sent by the 

 Secretary upon application.
