26 BULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 



Jardiae's Brook, the Silurian ledges cropping out remind 

 us of the Upper St. John and its flora. Here we find the 

 first wild rose met with on the trip {Eosa Carolina), two 

 anemones {Anemone Pennsylvanice) and A. cylindrica, 

 the Painted Cup [Castilleia pallida var septentrionalis), 

 Hedysarum boreale, the Poison Ivy, {Rhus toxicodendron), 

 the Bilberry {Amelanchier Canadensis), Lobelia Kalmii 

 and others — all Upper St. John plants. 



Our fourth camping ground was near the mouth of the 

 Kedgewick which here comes in from the north and is the 

 largest aflluent of the Restigouche. There is a fine stretch 

 of meadow land here and a good farm, the first met with 

 on the river, owned by Mr. Mowatt. We went about 

 half a mile up the Kedgewick, found several rare carices,

 below the mouth of the Kedgewick on the right bank of 

 the river is the fishing lodge of Col. Rogers, of New York,

 river we come upon the summer camp of Mr. Ayer, of 

 Bangor, and two miles farther we reach Down's Gulch, 

 a fine camping ground. Here we found the Grass of 

 Parnassus {Parnassia Caroliniana), Tojieldia gluiinosa, 

 Hedysarum boreale, Astragalus alpinus, very abundant 

 along the lower river, the purple fringed Orchis {Habenaria 

 psycodes), the Rock Strawberry {Fragaria vesca), Anemone 

 cylindrica, several rare carices and several species of j uncus. 

 For the next ten miles we pass through some of the most 

 striking and picturesque scenery on the Restigouche. 

 The river makes sudden turns, and leaps tumultuously 

 from rapid to rapid, vainly strikes against the base of a
