at V.B, save one small arborvitae thinket. 
Here three fruitig plants of Calypso were dis¬ 
covered, perhaps the best things of the stay. 
The list of good things in mosses is really 
very very small, though I have a good large 
bundle of Camptotheoium nitens, sterile, which 
I ran across in a little marshy place. The 
rest will be ordinary tilings. There is 
not a single ledge outcrop, let alone a md>ist 
one, in the whole region as far as I know. 
But, here again, I feel that the whole party 
went into the region without adequate knowledge 
of the country. No one, not even Fellows, 
seemed to know anything about the lay of thel 
land, and trips were made on the hit or miss 
method. The Wednesday trip for four of us 
was in search of a marl pond near Limestone 
of which M.L.F. spoke. Dr Fellow and the Beans 
with Norton had come up to Limestone the day 
before, and had made strenuous enquiry there. 
where no one seemed to know of any pond at all 
save two in the direction of Van B. 
Accordingly we chartered an auto, and went to 
those ponds, which turned out to be sitaply 
shallow muddy things, in the midst of fast- 
disappearing bogs. No plants really unusual 
save Carex limosa. Norton got some snailsa 
and a leech or two. Later on. Woodward 
mentioned the fact that M.L.F. had said thatt 
the pond (Nadeau Lake ??) was about a mile f 
from Limestone, towards Ft. Fairfield !! 
However, all had a good time, found the 
hotel accomodations bang up, and expressed 
themselves well satisfied. Also all want 
a central Maine meeting next year, with talk 
of Waterville and Lewiston. G.K.Merrill, 
who with Fellows and myselfis on the 
Comm, of Arr, has also suggested Bethel. 
I don’t know. I don’t think that a meet¬ 
ing at Waterville itself would be worth while. 
We could perhaps get someting at China, or 
Vassalboro, but the hotel question is bad.
