Round Pond. Maine. Aug 29, 1915. 
Dear Oollins; 
How did you fare in the Maine woods? Did you get back 
just in time to see the fir© at NorthAnson, or were you too early? 
I’ve meant to write you several times since we were at Shomaston, 
and let you know Jocy; much _I enjoyed having you with me the few 
days here and at T., but there has been a deal to do, and 1 have put

My numbers are on them, so that you can readily identify them. 
There are a few that look very funny, the Tortula, and the 
Cesatodon, ©specially, as well as the funny grimmiaceou3 thmng from 
the west side of Rockport harbor.

collecting. That day, all being tired, I had the chance in the forenoon 
to go over an old lime quarry in the village skirts, and got some 
real interesting finds. You remember that there was a little dis¬ 
agreement between Pernald and G.K.Merrill regarding the trip to 
Ilesboro. Pernald,Bissell, Woodward and Emerton made it, and got a 
host of interesting finds, many extensions of range. GKM was a 
bit sore over it and did not shov/ up at the evening meeting, as 
well as being abaant the next day. I think that was due to his 
photo business, but it didn't look well. Ho one made the P 
specified for that last day, and that »t * S-
