cana. At lunch time we gathered a bouquet of Carex lupulina, 

 C. intumescens, C. lurida, softened with the blue of Campanula 

 aparinoides, Myosotis laxa, and Veronica scutellata. Proserpinaca 

 palustris bloomed with Penthorum sedoides. It was amusing to 

 contrast the different species of Galium: — circaezans, brown 

 flowered pilosun, Aparine, triflorum, three-petaled Claytonia, 

 asprelluni lanceolatum . We did not bid au revoir to Southfields 

 without examining a most gigantic hispid Geum virginianum. 

 . . . Since we collected Aureolaria (Dasystoma, Gerardia) for 

 determination may I warn that the key of Britton or Gray lead 

 to an error? and may I append a supplement adapted from 

 Pennel to Britton's key?

Trip of July 25 to Cold Spring Harbor, 

 Long Island 



For a distance of about three miles, the group rambled on 

 the foot-path along the shores of three large lakes, stopping for 

 Spirodela polyrhyza, Myriophylluin sp., Inipatiens pallida, and 

 what was probably Utricularia clandestina. Along First Lake, is 

 a boggy stretch where an old railroad bed still remains. This 

 yielded Gratiola aurea, Liliuni superbiim, Woodwardia virginica, 

 Ly CO podium lucidulum, Asclepias incarnata, Phytolacca decandra 

 and an abundance of Radicula (probably aquatica). At the Fish 

 Hatchery just beyond, is a huge specimen of Platanus occi- 

 dentalis, and in the fish tanks, themselves, enough for all, of 

 Marchantia (sp.) in all its forms. In front of the "Haunted 

 House" is a good specimen of Aralia Spinosa, the so-called 

 "Hercules Club."
