 Friday, \ih. Made a journey at daylight to a neighbouring hill, and 



returned at dusk. In the course of the day found Ribes (63) in great 

 abundance and very luxuriant, 6 to 10 feet high, spreading and somewhat 

 reclining, in rocky situations. Also abundance of Ribes (62) at the foot 

 of the hill in low damp ground among Populus and Alnus with Betula, 

 stronger than what I saw the other day.

 smooth ; petiole slightly hairy ; peduncle long, slender, more hairy than the 

 petiole ; flowers small, spreading, yellow, tinged with red in the inside ; 

 germ thickly beset with short glandulous hairs ; wood whitish, covered 

 with small straight spines ; abundant ; this resembles one which I found 

 last year in fruit on the summit of the hills at the Grand Rapids ; 

 the only specimen I had unfortunately was lost.

 somewhat reniform ; flowers small, yellow, with dark purple veins ;

Saturday, 20th. Clear, warm, and pleasant, wind southerly. Early in. 

 the morning made a journey on the south side of the river up as far as 

 twenty miles, and returned at dusk ; country the same as at Kettle Falls.

 short, surrounding the orifice ; flowers blue ; radical leaves linear-

 smooth, under (as well as the stalk) covered with a soft thick pubescence ; 

 petiole of the floral leaves, short ; one to three flowered, white ; 

 abundant in the same places as the preceding plant. 



Sunday, May 2lst. Being a little fatigued with walking BO much the 

 preceding days, I was unable to go out ; I tied up one bundle of dry 

 plants and made a small box to place them in against damp and insects. 

 Cloudy in the morning, warm afternoon. 



* 1 Prunus ; fruit small, scarlet, astringent, and is in every point an insipid 

 fruit. (July 15th.)
