"About Anomodon viticulosus, you will find it in plenty against a
large
rock near the base of that footpath descending
from Goat Island to the top
of the American falls.
You know that there are two ways of going there: the
broad way by stairs and aside of it, on the right
a small slippery foot
path on the slope of the Island;
it is on this foot path about halfway down
that said Anomodon grows. I never found it in America
except at this place.
