the woods, but in my haste failed to find any; found however
the pretty fern Asplenium Filis-foernina.  Continuing our
way along the railroad I was greatly pleased to again find
Cassia Chamaecrista, and Crotalaria sagittalis.  Growing 
between the ties in the cinders were immense quantities of a
pretty little sedge, which I find to be Fimbristylis capillaris.
Reaching Mt. Winans, we found quantities of Livrum superbum
in the low ground west of the railroad embankment.  Going
down to examine more closely we were greatly pleased to find also
Habenaria blephariglottis the White-fringed Orchis in quite a
large number.  Again following the railroad we found a plant 
of Solanum rostratum, this plant is a western introduction and 
is as yet rather scarce, being found only on Canton lot
and now noticed here for the first time.  We had now reached
the main term. of the B. & O.  In the low ground south
of the main road & west of the old Curtis Bay route we found
the Yellow Fringed Orchid, H. ciliaris.  We now again
followed the Curtis Bay route towards Sextant's ville and the
stockyards.  Stopped to get a drink of that delicious spring water
close to Washington road, then hurried towards Wilkens Av.
