All new parts of this road were in very bad condition; here
and there, however very enticing nooks were passed.  Throughout
the trip we were obliged to take the right hand roads
whenever the road branched; our first branch being at the 
school-house one branch going to Hawkins and our second and last being at the blacksmith
shop - one road going to Magothy the other to Marley.
In one of the fields was found Silene antirrhina - a catch fly
having sticky areas below the upper nodes.  One peculiar thing
noticed in this tramp was the variability in the distance as
informed by different persons.  We had gone about 2 miles
when we were attracted by the noise made by 2 boys trying
to get some young squirrels.  On a little farther I saw 
one plant of Iris Verna in flower, I had given up all hope
of seeing this, this year, you may be sure therefore, that seeing
<s>this</s> it gave me much pleasure.  How much more was I pleased, when
a little later, on turning in, a short distance to our right,
a pretty patch of this beautiful flower was seen, even a
no. of buds was found; these were carefully collected and
were a source of delight for those at home.  Before reaching
this second lot of Iris we were attracted <s>at</s> by the right of a
little church-yard in the rear of a church on the right of the road
