Hepatics, mosses, aiirl ferns were ahiiiul.in! , I he last represented 

 by the polypody, the bracken, the maidenhair, Dicksonia, Bo- 

 trychium, Dryopteris acrostichoides, D. marginalis, D. spinulosa, 

 and D. novchoraccnsis. 



Some of tiie herbaceous plants that particularly interested me 

 were three species of blue gentian, two species of aconite, a 

 golden-rod with sessile flowers, the orange triosteum, and the 

 smooth aureola. Neither arbutus nor galax was seen.

The shrubs were still more interesting. Rhododendron cataw- 

 biense often attained tree-like dimensions, reaching fifteen feet 

 or more in height, while Kalmia was equally vigorous. Hy- 

 drangea arborescevs showed a fondness for the banks of brooks, 

 while the cool, moist mountain summit was covered with thickets 

 of the two species of hazelnut, a willow, a green-fruited goose- 

 berry, a white-fruited dogwood, and a red-fruited hawthorn. 

 The determination of the hawthorn given below is by Professor 

 Rowlee, to whom fruits were sent for planting.
