Dr. Elliot C. Howe collected many mosses at Fort Edward and in Moreau

In Geology of New York, Vol. i, Part i, Geology of the First Geological 

 District, Albany, 1843, Mr. William W. Mather discusses peat. On page 12 and, 

 on page 14, are Tables of the Localities of Peat and Marl in Washington County, 

 with number of acres. No peat localities for Saratoga County are given. In 

 Geology of New York, Vol. 2, Part 2, Geology of the Second Geological Dis- 

 trict, Albany, 1842, Dr. Ebenezer Emmons on pages 185-186 discusses peat and 

 the towns are mentioned where it has been found in Warren County. It states 

 "the depth of one of the beds of peat in Warrensburgh exceeds sixty feet, and
