each little mass consisted of a rather losely folded together, <s>fo</s>
worm-like, fleshy body, with some of these bodies were masses of
black sporocarps (?).  I collected a number of them for study.
Finding now a nice stump to rest upon, I stopped to eat my lunch.
It was a most comfortable seat, and protected as I was from the
rain, by rubber boots, rain-coat and umbrella, I thought my little
camp most pleasant.  Looking down the hillside, I saw the
stream for a great distance reaching with great velocity through its plain.  I thought the
sight most beautiful.  After eating my dinner, I followed a path
which I now came upon.  It took me down to the stream, but
I soon found that I had to <s>come</s> go up again on the hillside, as it
was impossible to cross, and also to walk, along its bank.

Going up the hillside again, I found Athyrium quite plentifully
and most beautifully fruited.  Near the trunk of a tree near this
spot I found a species of Fissidens.  I now kept along the
hill-top and came down only when the path on my side of the 
stream became plainly visible.  A spring not far from where
I descended attracted my attention.  I was very much pleased
to have found it.  I had now only a short walk to the falls.
This stream to-day was quite a river, in many places overflowing
