134 Rhodora [JULY 
of the shallow ponds Potamogeton Oakesianus, another New Jersey 
species and one of the commonest of its genus on Nantucket and 
Cape Cod, though unknown in eastern Maine, New Brunswick and 
Nova Scotia, was fruiting profusely. 
Long before dark I had followed Wiegand’s unfortunate example 
of the day before and came into camp hobbling on one foot and a heel. 
He, fortunately, was on both feet again, but when we got back to 
Birchy Cove and the doctor found that I had cracked the tendon 
of my little toe I was laid aside for repairs and it was nearly two weeks 
before I ventured off the piazza. Wiegand and Kittredge meanwhile 
went on the ‘‘Home”’ to Bonne Bay, by many said to be the most 
picturesque fiord south of northern Labrador. This trip had been 
one of my fondest hopes, for the mountains about Bonne Bay are a 
duplication of those about the Bay of Islands and years ago, when I 
first read Logan’s account of Bonne Bay, I had set my heart on 
sometime making a comparison of that region and the Bay of Islands 
area. But, although it was necessary to delegate to others this part 
of the work, my enforced housing brought the great pleasure of at 
last making the acquaintance of the paleontologist, Professor Charles 
Schuchert who, with his companion (making up the ‘‘Yale Expedi- 
tion” of the Newfoundland papers) had been studying all summer 
much the same region as the ‘‘Harvard Expedition,” but whom we 
had always preceded or immediately followed at our various centers 
of work. 
In less than a week Kittredge returned bringing part of the Bonne 
Bay collections, but the ‘‘hoodoo”’ was still with us. Kittredge was 
yellow with jaundice and soon returned to Boston and a less strenuous 
life. Wiegand, after leaving Bonne Bay, had gone north to Blanc 
Sablon whence he returned without mishap bringing the remainder 
of the Bonne Bay collections. These, in brief, were an exact dupli- 
cation of the Blomidon plants, the Bonne Bay serpentines yielding 
the Adiantum, Osmunda, Danthonia, Lychnis, Arenaria arctica and 
A. ciliata, var. humifusa, Statice, and all the others (except perhaps 
Festuca scabrella which it was now too late to collect); Lookout Moun- 
tain, the Bonne Bay counterpart of the diorite portion of the Blomidon 
Range yielding Schizaea pusilla, Potamogeton Oakesianus and two 
plants we had not before seen: Sparganium hyperboreum, found by 
Eames and Godfrey on the Blomidon diorite; and Eleocharis nitida, 
a little sedge heretofore known only from the diorite region at the 
head of the Ottawa River in Canada.
