Along the river I found similar petrefactions in 

 the loose rolling stones similar to those at Wilkes- 

 barre ; some specimens I laid aside if I should 

 find opportunity to sent a collection from here ; 

 they were some beautifnll large shells, remarka- 

 bly well preserved. Several large stones were run 

 over with a calcareous shell or cover on which 

 smaller peples had attached themselves, in a man- 

 ner of rough cast. — Anemone dichotoma — Galium 

 Mullugo ? Smyrnium integerrimum — Euphorbia 

 corollata— Thalictrum nigricans which has a very 

 heavy smell— Lobelia Claytoniana & Heracleum 

 lanatum were in flower. — I seen a species of Hy- 

 pericum along the river which I supposed to be 

 the H. ascyroides. — in the same places Pulmona- 

 ria Virginica-Acer glaucum-a species of dwarf 

 Chestnut Oak & large bushes of Crataegus coc- 

 cinea. — Alltogether I ditnot find this place as far 

 as I had seen answering my expectations & con- 

 cluded not to delay any time in or about it, but 

 to proceed on to more interesting scenes. 



July 5.— This day I devoted to writing & dry- 

 ing plants : — small excursion : nothing new. 



6— Left Tyoga, up Cayuta Creek — Apocynum 

 androsacmifol : (.b.) very plenty in the cleared 

 lands ; in the Oak Woods I observed the Lily, 

 often seen before, but I cannot recollect which 

 species it is ; it is Lilium foliis sparsis verticilla- 

 tisque : caule unifloro ; floribus erectis : corollis 

 campanulatis, semipatentibus ; petalis unguicu- 

 latis. 



The valley, formed by Cayuta Creek is in soil 

 .& vegetation similar to the beach woods — Oxali
