near the house. Bolles reports seeing a Meadow Lark
on several occasions during the past week in
the fields opposite Gray's pond.
  The northern end of Fresh Pond Lane has
been seriously marred by the recent cutting
through of Huron Avenue and kindred "improvements"
on the part of the city and greedy land speculators
but the central and southern positions remain
as of yore save that the trees have grown and
now arch completely over the narrow roadway
- bordered in places by neglected hedges and 
hemmed in between tall moss-grown old fences.
I must visit this place next summer - if it
is not ruined in the mean time.

  There were Gray Squirrel tracks leading from
tree to tree in the woods near the fountain
& Clark told me that at least three or
four of these animals are known to exist
there at present. Looking over the fence
into Gray's woods I saw Squirrel tracks there
also but they were probably made by Sciurens
although I did not get near enough to 
make sure of this.
