and the increase in the cost of living over the last couple of years 
the T.F.N.C. Committee has decided to increase the 1978 membership 
subscription rates to $3*00 for students and pensioners, $6.00 for 
adults and S8.00 for families. The 1978 subscription rate for the 
Tasmanian Naturalist will be 13.00
