Dear All,                            Oct 16, 2013
    In my e-mail of Oct 11 I said "Calling such vaguely ring-like growths 
fairy rings is an unfortunate consequence of internet enthusiasm."

    I see now, in a paper which Steve brought to my attention (Danin & 
Orshan), that the term fairy ring has been used to refer to any roughly 
ring-like arrangement of plants for many years; at least back to1935.
