July 29, 1899.  A trip to Round Bay and vicinity.  Took
the 7 a.m. train.  We at first thought of spending morning
at R.B. and the afternoon at Glenburnie, but in course 
of the day found that the whole day was required.
The day was sultry, the temperature not very high.
Along the shore the breeze was delightful.  Arrived at
R.B. we went first to the grounds.  Along the tracks
Cassia Chamaecrista was found.  Clethra alnifolia was
seen nearly everywhere, so much so we decided to call
the day Clethra Day.  On the shore we met Mr. Howard's 
little boy, getting water for his mother, at the artesian
well sunk near the shore.  After a tramp along the shore
we made our way towards the swamp near Dorsey's on
the other side of the railroad.  At D's a large patch of 
Physalis Philadelphica was growing; some of the fruit was ripe, 
when ripe it has a pretty purple color.  We tasted some of
it and found it fairly pleasant.  The old church which
was somewhat of a landmark has now been entirely removed.
Close to the swamp Nymphaea odorata was still
