laduca paludosa (lettuce) ; and not the least interesting the 

 little (eye bright) euphrasia officinalis ; and in the woods 

 above the L,odore Falls, may be found lastrea remota, a very 

 handsome fern, and comparatively rare. 



Where can there be found more picturesque views 

 than from these rocks ? And where can there be found 

 words more appropriate for the scene than the following 

 magnificent passage from Thomson's "Castle of Indolence?" 



" I care not, fortune, what you me deny : 



You cannot rob me of free nature's grace ; 

 You cannot shut the window of the sky 



Through which Aurora shows her brightening face ; 

 You cannot bar my constant feet to trace 



The woods and lawns, by living stream at eve ; 

 Let health my nerves and finer fibres brace, 



And I their toys to the great children leave ; 



Of fancy, reason, virtue, naught can me bereave." 



Upon emerging from these woods we find quantities 

 of cow wheat (nielampyrmri), with bright yellow flowers, 

 usually found most plentifully where the ants are numerous. 

 The seed of this plant closely resembles the ant's eggs ; 

 and, upon coming to maturity, the ants bundle them about 

 in all directions, thus spreading the seeds which so quickly 

 germinate. In the surrounding woods may be found the 

 St. John's wort (hypericum pulchruni) and androscemum 

 And on the way to Watendlath, heather and ferns drape 

 the hillsides, whilst in the meadows are numerous choice 

 flowers. Carduus hetrophyllus (melancholy thistle), with 

 large heads of purple flowers ; narthecium ossifragum (Lan- 

 cashire bog asphodel or bone breaker), with its charming 

 golden flowers ; myrrhis odorata (sweet Cicely) ; sanguis- 

 orba officinalis (bloodwort) ; carex aquatilis (sedge) ; cam- 

 panula latifolia, with large spikes of pale mauve flowers ; 

 bunium fluxuosum ; pinguicula vulgaris ; and tzgopodiunt 

 podagraria (bishop's weed) ; and on the mountain slopes, 

 near the kist, we find gnaphalium dioicum (the cudweed), 

 resembling the edelweiss of the Alps ; wild orchids, butter-
