July 19, 1904, Tuesday 
Came from Bic via the 10.42 P. M. train last night 
and arrived at Matapedia at 2. 45 A. M. Fernald 
and I walked down the shore of the Restigouche 
about 3.00 A. M. collecting. Fernald lost one of 
his trunks. At 8. 20 came by train on the "Baie 
de Chaleau division of the Atlantic and Lake Superior 
Railway'* to Nouvelle and to the house of Mr. Allard 
who is station agent for St. Jean 1* Evangelist and 
Customs Officer. In the P. M. Mr. Nadeau drove 
us up the Nouvelle River as far as we could go 
and back. Weather extremely hot. In the evening 
walked up on top of the hill back of the house and 
looked into a bog for a few minutes bdfore dark. 
July 20, 1904, Wednesday 
Cloudy and warm in. the A. M. Cooler and clear 
in the late P. M. and evening. Slept very well 
last night and had breakfast about 7. 30 A. M. 
After breakfast Fernald and I walked up to the bog 
on the terrace which we saw last night back of the 
house and botanized there and in vacinity most of 
the A. M. We also botanized spme on the ridge north 
of there and in the bog still further northwest. 
Found the region generally of southern character. 
Upon our return to the house we found Fernald' s lost 
trunk and immediately went to work on the plants 
in presses therein. About 2. 30 P. M. we rode 
with Joe Nadeau to the Barachois at the mouth of 
Nouvelle River and botanized on the salt marshes 
there. On the way back we took a bath in the Nouvelle 
a decidedly cold one, feeling much like ice water.
