RONBOB'S EDITORIAL
Welcome to the Autumn '75 Bulletin.
We hope you enjoy this edition with the illustra-
tions! As the printing is done by litho, there's no
extra cost in making plates, so if you think of writing
us an article, or even a meeting's report, please also
let us have a drawing with it. (Pen line drawings are
best.) And please let us have more copy - the next
issue will be going to the printers in mid February.
We are very glad to see that the Essex Flora is
now published. It really is a splendid volume. Even
non-botanists will appreciate it as an invaluable
reference work for its introductory chapters contain
data not available in one volume elsewhere. And for
botanists, it must become a very coveted publication.
(For details see back cover.)
Our thanks to contributors, especially Geoffrey
Kibby for the splendid seasonal cover, to Anne Holden
for the typing, and to Maureen Tolfree who has again
tackled the horrible job of addressing the envelopes.
