June 21, 1908. We left for Indian Ladder on the morning 

 train. Most of the streams were dry, and only water at ■Mine 

 Lot Fall. We went into Hailes' Cavern past the elbow, where 

 one can stand erect. The calcareous rocks show decidedly the 

 smoothing and polishing by water. The boat, which was lowered 

 from the brow of the cliff a year or two ago, was stored under 

 the roof of the cavern, near the entrance. Since the opening has 

 been enlarged, and the channel of the stream from the cave 

 deepened at the mouth four or five feet there can be but little 

 water here now, except during continued rains or the early spring. 

 Some of the natural beauty of the spot has been destroyed for- 

 ever. The bladder fern is very fine this season, the long tapering 

 fronds standing almost upright at openings at the base of the 

 cliffs. 



Collected and observed the following: Leptothryium Peri- 

 clymeni (Desm.) Sacc. on leaves of Lonicera canadensis, and 

 Sorosporium Saponariae Rud., deforming the flower clusters of 

 Cerastium arvense, verified by Dr. G. P. Clinton and only re- 

 ported previously in America by Prof. A. O. Garrett on Silene 

 Menziesii in Utah; a portion of the collection was deposited in 

 the State Herbarium. 



Hygrohypnum palustre (Huds.) Loeske, on wet rocks at base 

 of Mine Lot, determined by Miss Warner and Dr. G. X. Best; 

 and Hypnum imponens Hedw. 



Filix fragilis (L.) L'nderw. 



Arenaria serpyllifolia L.; Arenaria stricta Mx.; Anemone 

 riparia Fernald, dry rocky soil; Sassafras Sassafras (L.) Karst., 

 pasture below Fallen Rocks; Fragari-a americana (Porter) 

 Britton; Rosa virginiana Mill.; Apocynum hypericifolium Ait. 

 along stream; Lappula virginiana (L.) Greene, depauperate and 

 with bluish-white flowers, foot of Bridal \^eil Fall ; and Pentstemon 

 hirsutus (L.) Willd.
