SHORTER NOTES 
I was much interested in reading of the two recent finds of Leptobryum 
pyriforme (L.) Wilson with gemmae. I collected this plant about eight years 
ago in an open field in Amesbuiy, Mass. As I sent some of the material to Dr. 
Best for investigation, he probably can vouch for my find. The moss was grow- 
ing on a heap of muck carted from a bog to a wet field. The plants were grow- 
ing separately, not in clumps, and were very delicate and pretty.
