CIX'llS AND CLASSES. 



Sui)plementary to the subject presented in the 

 last section, a few words on the fonnation of Clul« 

 and Classes, for the collection, mounting, and study, 

 of "Sea Mosses," may be said. The many advantages 

 of a-ssociatcd over solitary action, is ocrywherc re- 

 cognized. Ever)lxKly kno^-s that in any undertaking 

 where lialf a dozen jKroplc can be engaged together, 

 more interest, enthusiasm, pleasure, and profit, can 

 be derived, than where one works all alone. So I 

 %»*anl to recommend that when you go to the sea 

 shore with your friends, or go among strangers and 

 make acquaintances and friends, at hotels, boarding- 

 houses, or *' camps," anywhere indeed, where two or 

 three, or half a dozen, intelligent perK)ns are col- 

 lected, you set about organizing a " Sea Moss Club." 

 It will not take much ulk or enthusiasm on your 

 part, to convince some of them at least, that collect- 

 ing and mounting these "things of beauty," will be 

 a very pleasant and engaging way of spending ihc 

 leisure hours of a summer sea-side vacation. NN hen 

 it is practicable, each one should be armed with a 

 copy of this book, as the best "Collector's Guide."
