the Arabia grows; it was not in flower, nor was there any
sign of either fruit or bud.  My trip homeward, was also
along the track, first toward Mt. Winans than along the
main stems.

June 27. 1900.  Another sultry day.  This time to Curtis Bay.
Spent a little time on the path leading to the various boating clubs.
[Guardia flana] was found in full bloom.  Here there is no withering
of the corolla - the flower looks as if only opened, yet, its
work had been accomplished and is pushed from the calyx
as if some unseen hand were doing it.  Reaching the road
leading to the new bridges I went up to Church St. and then
along it to the Annapolis R'd.  In the little wood towards the
west a path may be found close to the road running parallel with <s>the road</s> it,
this I took.  I was quite near the spot where Pyrola rotundifolia
grows, so determined to visit it.  The path, I was on,
when close to the <s>edge</s> end of the wood is crossed by <s>a</s>another path running
at right angles to it, <s>above</s> close to the edge of the wood on that
side.  This path finally cuts into the field.  Quite close to this
part of the path the Pyrola is found.  It was in full bloom
and a most beautiful sight it presented.  Chimaphila maculata
