beach; here in it- Beason may be found the new Chondria polyrkuta, 



and at the north end of the Hay i> a line growth of Udotea flutnlluin; 

 half a mile beyond Shelly Bay is BurcheU Cove, well worth a vbit; 



here we found splendid specimens of Callithamnion Halliae. Bail* 

 Hay, something over a mile beyond, is a good place tor collecti 

 here we found some of our hot specimens of Eucheuma denticvlatum* 



In going on towards St. George's it would he worth while to take the 



old and now unused road about a quarter of a mile beyond Bail 



Hay, and follow along the shore to the old ferry, and then past .!<> 

 Caves to the Causeway. At the north end of the (auxway we come 

 to Long Bird Island, 5 on the southeast side of which all the way to 



the Swing Bridge is pod collecting, especially of Helminthocladia 

 Calvadosii and Castagnea. 



Beyond Swing Bridge the road winds with many a pieturesque turn 

 along the shores of Mullet Hay into St. George's; these waters Ought 

 to be fertile grounds for they are for the most part shallow and easily 

 accessible. Once in St. George's we are in the immediate oeighbor- 

 hood of some of the best collecting grounds in Bermuda; going to the 

 shore northwest of the city we first come to Tobacco Hay which is in 

 fact two quite distinct bays near together; plenty of Bryopsis and 

 Liagora here. A little farther along very near the old fort at 

 Catherine's Point, where the shore makes a right angled turn to the 

 east, is a little bay called Achilles Hay, where Helminthocladia may be 

 found in abundance in its season. Following the shore for a mile to 

 the east we pass several little coves which may be worth a visit; but 

 just before we come to the place where the sewer from the hospital 

 comes down, we come to Judy's Hole, so called in honor of a colored 

 woman whose body was washed ashore here. Here we found splendid 

 specimens of [Vrightiella Blodgettii and Naccaria corymbosa floating 

 in on the breakers. Farther along is Sylvester's Bay and beyond 

 that Buildings Hay, so named from the fact that here Sir George 

 Summers built the little ships in which he sailed away for Virginia. 

 It is a little cove extending in behind an old fortification; there is a 

 little beach at the head of the bay; comparatively few plants g] 

 on the rocks along the shore or on the bottom, but among them is the 



5 This is the "Oblongarum Avium Insula" of the map in Jansen's atlas, 

 Vol. Ill, L646. This map, a copy of the original survey of 1622, is remarkably 

 full and accurate; names <>f places have hardly changed at all, and the family 

 names of many of the owners there given appear today everywhere is the 

 islands. This accuracy and fullness is the more remarkable in contrast with 

 the maps in the same volume, covering the mainland from Labrador to Florida; 

 contours arc vague and uncertain, and name- strangely transposed.
