before long the storm was upon us.  We had in the meantime
started for O.G. and it was just as were were leaving the
ravine that it was pouring down.  This storm, too, did not last 
very long.  Before we reached O.G. it had stopped raining.
While walking along the track we saw on the other side of the
ravine a party of men & women walking along the River R'd.
They crossed the river at O.G. and we met them at the mill.
they had taken a car ride to Ellicott City then walked down along
the river and, of course, were caught in the rain.  At O.G. we
took Hilton Av. for Catonsville, where we took the cars for home.

From Bonnie Brae, Edmundson Av., to Franklin
Road and then to Walbrook with my botany class, section C.
The day was beautiful although rather warm.  We met at 3
o'clock and it took us 3 hours to make the trip.  A rather
unexpected find was Penstemon pubescens.  It looked far handsomer 
here in the open woods than where I have heretofore
found it, on sunny hillsides.  The tent-like excrescences formed
by the strings of insects on the Witchhazel and the Elm
attracted much attention.  In most of them were living insects.

Stange to say in those of the Elm which are so much larger
