of beech & Hemlock; the Coreopsis bidens or I sup- 

 pose what is calld now conriata, got very common 

 along the road side, in wet places. In the same 

 situation Gnaphalium inundatum is common, 

 where the water is more plenty the Leersia ory- 

 zoides among the species of Juncas & Scirpus 

 species is a common grass. I observed along 

 fences a species of Galeopsis with flowers differ-

 went on about 6 or 7. m. further where I put up 

 for night. — Along the road sides here Tanacetum 

 vulgare, Inula helenium, Sonchus canadensis 

 &c. are common plants. In the valleys the pro-

 nothing new, I observed Veronica— Anagallis 

 aquatica — Bidens frondosa & bipinnata-Clematis 

 virgin. Bupthalmum helianthoides— Mimulus 

 alatus— Veronica scutellata. The road from 

 Balltown to Saratoga, goes through barren pine 

 woods, where I observed a species of Hieracium
