NOTES ON RECENT BRYOLOGICAL LITERATURE 
Sphagnum as a Surgical Dressing. — Under this title Professor J. W. 
Hotson, University of Washington, Seattle, has written an excellent popular 
article in Science . 1 It is noted that the most promising fields for surgical sphag- 
num are along the northern Pacific and Atlantic coasts. Among the uses of 
sphagnum are enumerated: peat, as fuel; packing, by nurserymen and florists; 
as insulating material; as packing around raw fruits, such as grapes; for manu- 
facture of papers, such as wall-paper, wrapping paper, and building paper, 
especially in Sweden; stable bedding; dressings for wounds of domestic animals; 
mixed with wool, used for cloth in Germany; used with good results as a so-called 
fertilizer because of its water-holding properties. Hotson notes that it has been 
used to some extent as a surgical dressing by the Hudson Bay Company, and 
in the Napoleonic and Franco-Prussian .and Russo-Japanese wars. 
Dr. C. W. Cathcart, an Edinburgh surgeon, ' began experimenting with 
sphagnum in one of the Scottish hospitals in 1914, publishing results in the
