a single plant of  Pogonia verticillata. We now decided
to start for the Relay.  Before reaching it, it began to 
rain, my umbrella came in very handy and we were not
soaked.  We stopped a moment to examine the Mertensia
which now were nearly done blooming.  Trillium is said
to be growing close to this spot, it was <s>not</s> now dark
and we decided not to stop.  Arriving at the Relay we
had but a short time to wait for a train which soon took
us to the city.  In this tramp more that 90 plants were
seen in flower.

May 11. 1899.  Met Mr. W. at the corner of Charles St. and Fort
Av. at about 4:15 P.M. Took a short tramp to Curtis Bay.
One of the most singular things here noticed is the abundance
of Aquilegia Candense.  One generally expects to find this plant
growing on rocks, yet, here, in a very sandy soil we find it thriving
luxuriantly, looking far better than any rock-grown specimens.
Here, too, is found Celtis occidentalis, thus far, the only station
I know.  May Weed and Rubus Canadensis were found to-day
in bloom, as were also Morus rubra, Smilas glauca, Salvia lyrata
and Orontium aquaticum.  Mr. W. being obliged to return we took the
6 P.M. car for home.
