SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8 
A party of over sixty rambled over the gneiss ridge. north- 
east of Nepera Park noting the tree and shrub growth and look- 
ing for belated flowers. Along the road an abundance of the 
stalks of the plantain lily (Funkia) were covered with capsules. 
Witch hazel bushes were covered with flowers, though a few of 
them seemed to have been touched by the freeze of the night 
before and had all the blossoms withered, possibly only those 
most exposed or in the path of air drainage from the hill above 
had suffered in this way. Three species of aster (A. cordifolius, 
paniculatus and ericoides) were found in some abundance still in 
blossom. Three goldenrods (Solidago latifolia, caesia and speci- 
osa) were found in flower, though only a few individual plants 
of hundreds of each species found had flowers remaining. In a 
small brook a colony of lizard tail, Saururus cernuus, was found 
in fruit. A few plants of the giant hyssop, Agastache nepetoides, 
attracted attention. As one object of the trip, the study of seeds 
and fruits had been announced. Of the class of fruits adapted to 
cling to clothing an abundance was collected—without intent— 
by the party. These represented several species of tick trefoil, 
black snakeroot, sweet cicely, agrimony, Virginia knotweed, 
burdock and cocklebur. Most of the party spent considerable 
time on the homeward ride on the trolley picking off these seeds.
