Valbuena Briones. The first volume scheduled is José M. Ruano's edition of Calderón's Cada uno para si; the second is Calderón's Fieras afemina amor, begun by E.M. Wilson and completed by Cecilia Bainton. The Editor is most grateful for the tangible evidence of support shown by the following Patrons: Frederick de Armas, Barbara 285 286BCom, Vol. 34, No. 2 (Winter 1982) Oberlander, Walter Poesse, and Matthew D. Stroud. In view of the less than overwhelming response to this subscription category, however, added to the fact that the Bulletin's financial health remains good, we have decided to discontinue this category of membership until such time as there may be a demonstrable need for it. ...
