Beavcrkill at Leu beach. The falls are well worth seeing- Re- 

 turning to the road along the Beaverkill we passed another falls 

 and continued up to the entrance to the Balsam Lake Club. 

 Parked the cars and followed the Beaverkill up to the 2,800 foot 

 level. Then we followed a small stream and visited Tunis Lake. 

 Some fine stands of aconites were found along the Beavcrkill 

 but none were found on Shin Creek or Tunis Lake. This extends 

 the range of aconites along the Beaverkill from Roscoe to the 

 2,800 foot level. We did not try to reach the top of Double Top 

 Mountain but will do so the next trip. Members of the club 

 found many other plants of interest. The region covered is 

 private property and permission must be secured before one 

 can enter but this has done much to keep the region in its 

 natural condition.
