wkich I suppose is called H. scabrum Mich.— 

 Glycine comosa is frequent. About Saratoga 

 springs Campanula erinoides— Eudbeckia lacini- 

 ata, several species of Nephrodium— Spirsea sa- 

 iicifolia-Eupatorium maculatum-Conium macu- 

 latum ? in great abundance. One of the springs 

 calld the Rockspring at Saratoga is a great nat- 

 ural curiosity.— The rock projects in the shape of 

 a Oat cone about 4. feet above ground, & has an 

 apature of about 10. inches in the middle out of 

 which they get the water, which is about 3. feet 

 down & makes a continued noise, like it were boil- 

 ing.— The country about her.- is barren & not 

 answering my expectations of rinding some cu- 

 riositys. The soil is full of limestone & the 

 rocks chiefly consist of this and a species of gray 

 granit like wake mixed with calcareous particles. 



4. Left Saratoga the road through barren pine 

 woods mixed sometimes with Shrub Oak, Pod- 

 alyria tinetoria, Helianthus frondosus— Lobelia 

 Claytoniana &c. nothing new. stayed over night 

 0. m. from Gleens falls. 



5. Gleens falls are verv interesting to see 

 them : I detained myself for about two hours 

 here, to see if I could not rind something new on 

 the rocks, but was disappointed. The Juniperus 

 communis or else a variety of it grows on the 

 rocks, below the falls I got exceeding week & 

 tired & seeing a chance of riding in a wagon to 

 Fort Ann 1 took it ; I arrived there at night 

 fall. 



»;. Rusted myself at Fort Ann. Potamogeton
