August 5, 1899.  A trip to Glenburnie, Saw Mill Pond
and the old Furnace.  We took the early train arriving at
G. about 7:20 a.m.  The conditions favored a very hot 
day, and this we experienced although the frequent breeze
made it quite bearable.  Taking our usual path, passing
the old mud hut, we made our first stop at the branch.
After our trip to Round Bay we suffered greatly from the
attacks of jiggers(?), we now therefore annoint ourselves
with oil of pennyroyal and coal oil.  This we did and
<s>find</s> found it to work very nicely.  This morning we also put 
coal oil on our faces and hands to keep away the mosquitos.
The branch now is quite low; our former camp was
found entirely grown over with the swamp blackberry
Rubus hispidus.  The chain fern was noticed here quite
abundantly.  It was, however, very warm, we did not stay
long but went at once to the path leading towards the pond.
Here it was quite breezy, and I stopped to press the plants 
collected.  I began also my collection of leaves for school work.
