The "bookv- Growing Australian Ferns Last Newsletter there was mention that our member, Calder Chaffey, had agreed to take un the task-of writing the long-awaited-book on Australl~Ferns.Progress contiEesaTd details relating to the proposal were discussed at a re&nt meeting Calder had with Gordon Brooks (Chair of the SGAP Publishing Committee) and David Rosenberg of Kangaroo Press. Kangaroo Press have expressed their pleasure at the quality of the material that they have seen and confirmed that they are keen to publish the book. It seems that "commercial considerations" mean that there has to be some restriction on the quantity of text. However, Calder believes that it will still be possible to cover the major ferns for growing (approximately 200 different species) with a brief description of the rest. It may be necessary to leave out the fern allies altogether. Still to be decided are questions such as the font and print size and most importantly, the size and number of coloured plates. Another Far Northern N. S.W. SGAP member, Lesley Cordery, is to do the pen line illustrations. Calder has been holid~ying~fid in the FZS? few mozths visited Christmas Islazd, Lord Howe Island and Western Australia. He left for Africa recently and will be away until mid December. Calder has advised that he has not done much writing during the past three months - and we are not surprised! However, Calder says that he has been thinking about the project and has ironed out a lot of problems. Also he has collected useful information in Western Australia. Calder says that after he returns from his present trip, it will be nose to the grindstone to get the book finished. We certainly wish Calder luck with the very large task what he is undertaking and we hope members able to help with information, comments and slides, will do so. He has made arrangements to visit the South Eastern Queensland Group and also hopes to get to North Queensland next year to find ferns, meet members in the Cairns area and collect photographs. Calder has provided a list of the ferns to be covered in detail in the book. He will need a photograph of each and any special observations on cultivation and propagation any member may have. The list of ferns is included on pages 2 and 3 of this Newsletter. Please let Calder have any information that you thmk may be useful. Calder's address is: "Red FOX", 13 Acacia Street, Wollongbar, 2477. Alternatively, information may be provided to our Leader for collation and forwarding on to Calder.
