AMERICAN FERN SOCIETY 



President Ferriss returned from a trip to Arizona 

 recently, bringing with him one fern new to the United 

 States and some unusual forms of the rare species of the 

 southwest. 



Mr. Alvin H. Trundy, Farmington, Maine, offers speci- 

 mens of Ly co podium sabince folium to members of the 

 Society for the cost of postage — five cents. This club- 

 moss is not a common one, and no doubt many will be 

 glad to avail themselves of Mr. Trundy's offer. Our 

 more fortunate members should not forget those less ad- 

 vantageously situated when collecting rare plants. Those 

 who for various reasons cannot go far from home to 

 collect plants will be very glad to pay the postage on the 

 specimens collected by others. 



The annual election of the Society was held in Novem- 

 ber and resulted in the following officers for 1908 : Presi- 

 dent, James H. Ferriss, Joliet, 111. ; Vice-President, Dr. 

 D. W. Fellows, Portland, Maine ; Secretary, W. A. Poy- 

 ser, 6028 DeLancey Street, Philadelphia ; Treasurer, 

 Miss Nellie Mirick, 28 East Walnut Street, Oneida, 

 N. Y. A prosperous and profitable year is certain to be 

 realized. 



The annual dues of the Society should be sent to the 

 Treasurer as soon after the first of the year as convenient. 

 It is not customary to send notices that the dues are pay- 

 able except to those in arrears and an early response to 

 this notice will be appreciated by the officers who are 

 planning the year's work. 



TKis number was issued June, 1908.
