  The

  What 
  I 
  take 
  to 
  be 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  not 
  rare 
  about 
  Albany, 
  

   forming 
  a 
  green 
  stratum 
  on 
  stone 
  steps, 
  walls 
  of 
  buildings, 
  

   old 
  fences 
  and 
  trunks 
  of 
  trees. 
  It 
  is 
  most 
  conspicuous 
  in 
  

   wet 
  weather 
  in 
  winter 
  and 
  spring. 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  seen 
  a 
  full 
  

   description 
  of 
  the 
  species.

   This 
  plant 
  has 
  been 
  supposed 
  by 
  some 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  cause 
  of 
  

   ague 
  and 
  has 
  therefore 
  been 
  called 
  the 
  "ague 
  plant," 
  but 
  it 
  

   is 
  hardly 
  probable 
  that 
  it 
  has 
  any 
  such 
  deleterious 
  quality.
