macrophylla from Bridgton, and this was also exhibited and 

 examined. 



July 8th. The party first visited the northwestern ex- 

 tremity of Lovwell's Pond, in the vicinity of Battle Monu- 

 ment. Here a broad sandy beach slopes rather sharply up to 

 a sea wall, behind which, in several places, are bogs contain- 

 ing pitcher plants, rhodora and Chamaedaphne . 



At the eastern end of this beach, on a grassy bar near a 

 narrow bog cove, Cladiuin mariscoidcs was found, and the 

 beach was abundantly studded with clumps of Pninus pumi/a, 

 heavily fruited. 



The road was followed back to the edge of Fryeburg vil- 

 lage, and southward to Brownfield to a point between Peary 

 and Tibbetts Mountains, where an unnamed sink pond 

 reposes in the depth of the valley. On the sandy plain 

 between Lovwell's Pond and Fryeburg village Prunus cuneata 

 was frequent, extending southward toward Brownfield along 

 the road. Round Pond, in Fryeburg, a promising sink pond, 

 said to have an ample strand, was visited, but with the wet 

 conditions of the season was flooded to the grassland. 



On the sandy plains and hills, and even in some of the 

 boggy depressions, Vaccinium vacillans, the dominating spe- 

 cies of the Fryeburg region, was still abundant. Clay's Pond 

 and Black Pond, Fryeburg, were visited, both proving unin- 

 teresting, with Chamaedaphne closing in to the water's edge. 

 At Black Pond Decodon vertieillatus was found in small quan- 

 tity. The shores and bottom of Peary Mountain Pond proved 

 to be well surfaced with fine mud from the wash from its 

 steep surroundings. Here Juniper us virginiana, not seen 

 elsewhere in the region, was found, and small quantities of 

 Potamogeton Oakesianus were present. Many dense, sub- 

 merged clumps of Galium Claytoni and Mentha arvensis were 

 seen, as evidence of high water. 



In the afternoon a short trip was made over Weston's 

 Bridge to the strand on the west bank of the Saco, below the 

 bridge, and another strand on the east bank, above the 

 bridge, was visited. On the moist, shaded banks of the river 

 Cystopteris fragilis, Asplenium Filix-femina, var. rubellum, 

 and Smilacina stellata were growing in luxuriant vegetation.
