SULLIVANT MOSS CHAPTER NOTES. 
By Miss Genevieve Doran. 
“ The Field Day or Moss Walk,” announced in the March Bryologist 
for all the Sullivant Moss Chapter members and their friends living within 
ten miles of Boston, took place on April 23d. In response twenty-five 
devotees of the subject assembled, nine of whom were members of the Moss 
Chapter. One of the members unable to be present sent a substitute. The 
originator of the event, Mr. Walter Gerritson, conducted the party over 
Prospect Hill, in Waltham. The route of the walk was arranged on the 
southwest slope of Prospect Hill, thus affording the best light for the collec- 
tors and also mosses, whose habitat ranged from the face of a dry rock to 
the shady bog. During the walk the party was afforded the pleasure of wit- 
nessing the fine view from the summit of Little Prospect.” 
In all fifty different species of mosses and eleven species of lichens were 
collected. The lichens were identified by Miss C. M. Carr, of South Sud- 
bury, Mas.s. One enthusiastic member came fifty miles to join the party, 
and all united in pronouncing it a profitable and enjoyable day. 
The members present were: Miss E. B. Bryant, Miss C. M. Carr, Miss 
G. Doran, Mrs. J. J. Puffer, Mrs. L. M. Stevens, Mr. J. F. Collins, Mr. W. 
Gerritson, Mr. J. W. Huntington, Dr. G. G. Kennedy, and a substitute for 
Mrs. J. B. Clapp.
