On the hill in the dr>'er areas there is a feather shaped moss 

 that has red stems, and bright yellow green leaves with rounded 

 tips, Calliergon Schreberi (Willd.) Bry. Eur. On the spots 

 where there had been small camp fires there were two mosses: 

 Funaria hygrometrica (L.) Sibth. and Ceratodon piirpureus 

 (L.) Brid. A turgid branched moss that has leaves with twisted 

 apex, Cirriphyllum Boscii (Schwaegr.) Grout, was found. A dark 

 green moss that stands up like tiny evergreen tress is Climacium 

 Americaniitn Brid. Rhodobryuni roseum (W'eis.) Limpr. is a 

 moss that produces rosettes of dark green leaves half an inch 

 in diameter at the top of an erect stem one inch high and on 

 one rock near the path many of these rosettes showed two to 

 four large curved capsules on rather long stalks. Fern mosses 

 are in evidence trailing on damp stomes, — Thuiditim delicatulum 

 (L.) Mitt. The apple moss, Bartramia pomiformis (L.) Hedw., 

 a pale green plant with tiny globe shaped capsules, was fre- 

 quently seen. Aitlacomnium heterostichiim (Hedw.) B. & S. ap- 

 peared often among the rocks on the hillside. 



On soil near the recreation hall where there had formerly 

 been a garden there were several small patches of Physcomitrium 

 turhinatum (Mx.) Brid. half an inch high with erect urn shaped 

 capsules and in one of these patches several plants of a micro- 

 moss were detected — Ephemeriimspinulosiim Schimper — one 

 thirty-second of an inch high from the surface of the soil to 

 the apex of the capsule. 



In cracks along the ledges of the lake there are rows of 

 rosette-like clusters of small fleshy green leaves, much smaller 

 than Rhodobryuni mentioned above. This is a moss typical of 

 limestone and it does not fruit in this region altho a relative 

 is frequently found with capsules. The moss in these cracks 

 is Encalypta streptocarpa (Hedw.), Extinguisher Moss, so named 

 because the outer covering of the capsule has the shape of the 

 metal extinguisher of the tallow "dip" of colonial days. 



Around the base of some of the white oaks in damp places 

 in the nearby woods there is a gray green collar of moss that 

 has short erect capsules having a white fuzzy top — Thelia 

 hirtella (Hedw.) Sulliv. 



In the pasture along the road north of the lake there were 

 large patches of a dark green moss that bears short four angled 

 capsules, Polytrichum juniperinum Willd., the Juniper Hair 

 Cap.
