ceal their rottenness, scarce leaving room for tlie little Goldtlireail 

 (Coptis tiifoUa). Here and there might be seen the downy little 

 Dalibarda (D. repens), and but a short distance beyond, 

 the northern green Orchis (PJatanfhera Jnjj^erhorea) stood as 

 stiff and straight as an obelisk. In a spot a little more open, but 

 still wet and mossy, I gathered a Coral-root {Corallorliiza Macraei) 

 in full bloom ; it was not again met with during the summer. 

 Club-Mosses (^Lijcopodlum dendroideum, L. (ouwtuutm and L. 

 clavatum) were there very abundant. 



Returning by the road, we found among the rocky hills a 

 Sumach (Rhus tiiphina) growing in abundance, also the 

 Blackberry (Euhus viUosus) and Red Raspberry (it. sfrigosus). 

 On the borders of a moist wood, the little Hejxttica triloba grew 

 in the shade of a Bassvfood (Tilia Americana). The long, green 

 racemes hung like earrings from the Striped Maple (Acer Peuiui/l- 

 vanicum), contrasting strongly with the broad, white cymes of a 

 Cornel (Conius alfcrnifolia). Within the wood we found Fyrolt 

 sccunda, Medeola Virginica, Circcea aJpina and Gaultlieiia 2>ro- 

 cumhens. In the fields near the road the Crowfoot (Rammculus 

 acm), Chickweed (Cerastiimi vuJgatW7i), and Dandelion (Tar- 

 axacum Dens-leonis) were growing everywhere. 



On the day following, I found the first Strawberry (Fragaria 

 Virginiana) of the season, and among the granitic hills on the 

 Flinton Road, Corydalis glauca, Geranium Carolinianum, and 

 Diervilla trifida, all three in flower. In the swampy depressions, 

 before mentioned, the white blossoms of the Choke-berry (Pi/rus 

 arhutifoUa) were now and then to be seen. 



From Bridgewater to Flinton (a small settlement in Kaladar) 

 is a distance of about twelve miles by the direct road ; there is, 

 however, another, known as the Old Flinton Road, which is more 

 circuitous, and passes through the corner of Hungerford. Upon 

 this road, about five miles from Bridgewater, the following plants 

 were collected on the 16th of June : — 



Mitchella repens, Geum rivale, 



Chimaphila umbellata, GaUum triflorum, 



Calla palustris, Iris versicolor, 



Cicuta maculata, Eupatorium purpureuui, 



Sium lineare, Xaumburgia tbyrsiflora, 



Sauicula Marilandica, Senecio aureus, 



Ruhus odoratus, Myosovis arvensis, and 



Physahs viscosa, Erigeron Philadelpbicum. 



A few days later, in crossing over to the village of Madoc, we
