This same trouble was experienced trying to find the other
marks along Camp Run, the new foliage entirely hiding them.
The patch was, however, finally found but with the same
success -- no flowers.  New white marks were put near the patches
found.  I now crossed the bridge and examined the patch
of Tipularia on the side of the brook, here not a specimen
was found, not even a leaf,  It was now half-past ten
o'clock, but I felt unusually hungry, being near our spring
I thought it wise to eat my lunch.  While eating my lunch
I examined the hillside, and was pleased to find close to the
patch a nice plant of Cypripedium pubescens.  From its appearance it looked
as if it had been fertilized.  I made a map of the spot and will
revisit it next year.  This reminded me to visit the plant
marked last year near the 2nd Highland.  I soon found the
spot and there were two plants, one blooming (2 flowers on
one stalk),* there were 3 last year all blooming we took one.  After remarking 
this place I again crossed the brook, stopped at the spring and
then went to Camp Run.  A curious insect was found close to the
bridge, one like it was found on the trip taken with my class on the last
Saturday in April.  I examined the creature more closely this time.
