This little place had now furnished these beautiful finds, two
of them varieties.  We had gone down the tracks farther and
stopped in at the spring.  I had just found a lot of Golden
Saxifrage when the train with the biological section of 
school marms came along.  After getting out of the swamp
we stopped a moment and I ate a little lunch.

We then went out Charles St. Av.  It was now very
warm, and the trip an exceedingly hot one.  We stopped a
moment at the Maples, saw the [illegible] on the Black
Gum at its entrance.  When we reached the Sheppard
Asylum we entered at the main entrance, proceeded to the
brook which we followed.  Here Lamium purpurem grows
in profusion and near the north end of the estate Panax (Aralia)
trifolia grows also quite plentifully.  Leaving the estate we
stopped a moment at the spring on the left.  Here, too, Trillium
was found in bud.  We now kept quite close to the brook,
passed a tramp sitting under a cozy awning, whittling.  The
stream now for a little distance runs parallel with Charles
St. On its right bank appears to be the remains of a farm
road.  Here in a shady nook we built a fire, sat down
and ate our dinner.  After dinner, we continued our tramp.
