Vermont Botanical and Bird Club 5 



the rocks are too dry for vegetation. At the foot is a small ice cave 

 from which issues a stream of very refreshing cold water. Wednesdaj* 

 a trip was made to some swamps in Tinmouth. The swamps proved 

 rather barren of anything except a few swamp grasses and sedges, 

 but the woods at their edge had some of the rarer rock ferns and some 

 good violets. The showy lady's slipper Gypripedium Jiirsutum and 

 one-flowered pyrola, Moneses uniflora grew at one swamp. 



Side trips were made by some of the members who brought back 

 the orchids, Pogonia ophioglossoides and Calopogon pulchellus and the 

 horned bladderwort Utricularia cornuta from Elfin Lake bog, G-oldie's 

 fern, Aspidium Goldianum and narrow-leaved spleenwort, Asplenium 

 angustifolium from rich woods on the river road, and the purple loose- 

 strife LytUrum Salicaria, which grows abundantly along the banks of 

 the Otter Creek.
