Since yon have an Herbarium,perhaps you will like,and can 
manage a nice big piece of the "cordifolium." It was rather a trial t 
to me to break it up into scraps to distribute--even though my "scraps” 
were a fair size,and finely fruiting. And I savO«ome larger sheets,wh- 
which of course can be broken up,if desired, only they catch each other 
heads,and pull them off so viciously. If a way could/be invented to 
hinder that with wry urns .Mniums and curved-nesk Hypnums, it rouldjoe a 
real boor*: I could almost make a whole necklace of the Bryurn argenteums 
that hook onto each other, 
Hxcuse rather a hasty note.

The Hypnum cordifolium grew in a large tussock, in the mud of a 
sort of dried up ditch or brook, in the woods of the Gloucester Bog, 
Cape Ann; (between Magnolia and Gloucester) and were gathered
