208½ *Took a little walk with the children (May 12, 1901) along B. & O. RR. to Riverside Park & then to the river.  Found in one place along the tracks quite a number of pretty insects.  They were provided with 4 delicate wings which folded back over their bodies.  At first I thought them ants, but on
closer observation saw that this was not the case, their bodies being entirely different.  I think they were May flies (?).

we were not greatly surprised.  The storm lasted about an
hour, after it was over, the atmosphere felt much better.
We reached Towson at 8.30 P.M, an hour later we were
home.  69 different plants were found in flower.

May 13, 1901.  Called for Bothe about 3 P.M. who was to show me
a route taken by Mr. Sollers with some teachers.  We took the car to Bonnie
Brae.  We then walked out Edmondson Av. to the road that leads to
Franklin to first go over a route I had once taken with Mr. W.; my
intention being to compare the two routes, and take the one that 
offered the <s>least</s> <s>less</s> fewer difficulties for my excursion on Wednesday.  I
had little trouble to find the route and our trip proved a very profitable
one.  Orchis spectabilis was found in several places; Cardamine
rhomboidea was found almost everywhere; a Geranium maculatum with
albino flowers proved very interesteing.  We reached Franklin R'd where it
crosses the run.  Just as we were about to leave the woods for the 
road, we found specimens of Viola sagittata.  We crossed the road
and entered the Winan estate.  Here we found Papaw in profusion also
Viburnum prunifolium.  I searched carefully for C. parviflorum and at
last found a few specimens 2 of which were in flower.  We now
started homeward, to return to Bonnie Brae over the other route.
