Part of a large collection of medical artifacts, archival material & trade literature transferred to CSTM in 2002 from the former University Health Network [UHN] collection, Toronto, Ont. Log book (2002.0167) entry for slide 244 "On the flat rocks at the point above Yocunis[?], these rocks are white & smooth full of corals & look like plaster beds. On these, near the waters edge, are small black spots, wh where dry at low water adhere so tighly that nothing can remove them except by scraping through them; when wet they come off, but not easily. They are a moss or an alga? on the same rocks were plenty of those nodules, so like a fine chetetes lycopendon, see slide No 115 for some small specimens. These latter are a very perfect green & quite round like a button - the others are larger looser & flat.". - Function
