as yet heart nothing from him. In the evening I 

 took a walk to a store to get some paper. In 

 going alongOnondaga creek I observed a species of 

 Potamogeton which I suppose either the mari- 

 num or graminifol. I describe it Potamogeton 

 ramis dichotomis, foliis longis, crasis gramineis 

 superioribus vaginantes. cum ligula longa mem- 

 branacea spica pedunculata, anthera? 4. crassa, 

 subsessiles 2 loculares foliolis calycis opposita, 

 alba ; stylis 4. stigmata peltata atrorubra. This 

 species abounds hereabouts very much. 



16. This day I set out to have a thorough ex- 

 amination of the Salt marshes on Salt point : In 

 going through the swamps between the Hollow 

 & the Point, I observed the Mimulus alatus in 

 great plenty ; Kanunculus aquatilis in flower, on 

 the branches of the creek : at the point I went 

 along a Causeway made through the marsh & 

 occasionaly in the marsh itself, whenever I could 

 get to it ; but this season having been so much 

 rain, makes it almost impossible to get in, last 

 year I was informed one might have went every 

 where through it, without much trouble, the 

 season having been so very dry. Cephalan- 

 thus occidentalis & Osmunda regalis, fill up a 

 great part of the swamp where any bushes grow? 

 Utricularia minor I found but only one specimen 

 in flower. Potamogeton gramineum, Lemna 

 arrhiza & polyrrhiza, Triglochin maritimum; 

 calyx 3 — phyllus;anther?e 3. calycis foliolis oppo- 

 sita &breviora, sessiles, squamis3. basi germinis 

 inserte eoque adpressa, germen longum 3-gonum, 

 stigma barbatum. — Ipomoea rosea foliis hastatis:
