FIELD TRIPS OF THE CLUB 127 



list of 36 species of birds — plants receiving passing notice. Through the 

 courtesy of the Nature Center the group saw two reels of film in color show- 

 ing nesting birds. Another contribution by one of those present was selections 

 from "Bird-lore Anthology" written by Scollard and Rittenhouse and pub- 

 lished by Houghton Mifflin. Leader, Henrietta Dotson. 



May 27. Tohickon Creek, Bucks County, Pa. Another record of in- 

 clement weather. The list of plants from last year was increased materially, 

 particularly by additional sedges, of which collections were made for the 

 Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. The party consisted of L. W. 

 Hand, leader, Hollis Koster and W. L. Dix. 



May 30. Woodlands, N. Y. Good weather for a good trip. In spite of the 

 early season, Am.orp.ha fruiticosa was only in incipient flower, and Mr. Ship- 

 ley's garden was not yet in full bloom. The refreshments were an unquestioned 

 success. Leader, Alexandra Kalmykow. Attendance 11. 



May 30. Lawrence Harbor, N. J. A walk around the watershed of 

 Cheesequake Creek, including Cheesequake State Park, traversed the following 

 plant communities : salt marsh, fresh bog, shoreline of ponds, white cedar 

 swamp, scarlet oak coppice, sand pits and waste land. Leader, John A. Small. 

 Attendance 25. 



June 2. Montefiore Hospital, Bronx, N. Y. The poor weather was re- 

 flected in the meager attendance. However, Dr. Michael Levine's garden was 

 in beautiful shape and we join him in "better luck next time." 



June 2. Atlantic Beach, Long Island. This group worked fast and 

 got in a full trip in time to take shelter during the heavy rain, and then went on 

 with a beach party. A long list of zoological interest was compiled and plants 

 characteristic of the area were noted. This was a joint outing with the De- 

 partment of Natural History at Brooklyn Institute. Leader, Grace Petersen. 

 Attendance 41. 



June 3. Jockey Hollow, Morristown, N. J. This trip was rained out 

 but we are indebted to the leaders, Elsie Weig and Lois Wenman who offered 

 the walk. 



June 9-10. Medford Lakes Region, Jersey Pine Barrens. A very 

 profitable joint trip with the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. 

 Anderson's tree frog (Hyla andersonii) was seen, also several reptiles. A black 

 snake {Coluber constrictor) was caught with a young bluebird in its mouth. 

 The more interesting plants reported were "Mountain laurel in profusion, 

 Utricularia inflata, var. minor, Magnolia virginiana, Amianthium muscaetoxi- 

 cum, Opuntia vulgaris (not in bloom), Helonias bullata (not in bloom), and 

 Dryopteris simulata. To the botanical connoiseur, perhaps the splendid dis-
