wine by the first settlers; the three-toothed cinquefoil {Potentilla

a very old violin that had been in possession of her family for

kinds and age of the subjacent rocks. 
Passing into the North channel behind Long island the 
members of the party had an excellent opportunity to contrast 
the bold and continuous range of hills of trap rock on the north
