Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Fern Gazette, Vol. 2: Published Quarterly A copy of the "Gazette" will be sent gratis to any one contemplating joining the Society, and for the benefit of the members generally, the Editor reminds them that he has available a small number of neatly bound copies of Vol. I. (with a portrait of the Editor) at 3s. 9d., post free, for which early application is recommended. Contributions of MSS. of a really practical character are also solicited by the Editor, who would remind the members that an "Exchange Column" can only be started when material for it is sent in. The Editor will be happy to name fronds, for which postage should be paid if their return be desired. The Editor. The August Meeting. The annual meeting of the Society was held this year at the Albion Hotel, Arnside, Westmoreland, on August 5th, when a good number of members were present, Mr. Alex. Cowan, of Penicuik, as President, taking the chair. Many of the members assembled on the Friday preceding the meeting in order to arrange some Fern hunting expeditions in the vicinity, but owing to the distance which it was necessary to travel to reach good ground, and still more to the terribly cold and wet weather which prevailed during their stay, no "finds" of any special note can be recorded. Subsequently, in view of the first drawback, it was resolved that Devon or Dorset should constitute the area for hunting on the occasion of the next meeting, since not only are the species there far more numerous than in the north, but ferns generally are far and away more abundant. At the meeting the Hon. Secretary, Mr. Chas. T. Druery, reported that the Society was now represented by no less than 150 members, and that as a consequence the funds were in a very satisfactory position, fully justifying the establishment under his Editorship of the "British Fern Gazette," the illustrated quarterly issued to members, the first volume of which, representing three years issues, having just been completed.
