* Peach trees, Cherry trees, and the <s>Cul</s> cultivated large flowering Magnolia were in full bloom.

the Golden Club.  A nice lot of this pretty plant was
found in the brook close to the spring.  After dinner
we continued our trip, now through the ravine, following
the stream.  Twice we stopped to rest.  The recent
rains made the humidity quite great in the ravine, the 
temperature therefore felt much higher than it really was.  All
were glad when the finally emerged from the ravine and had
at last more level ground for walking.  The remainder of
our trip was therefore not so tiresome.  All were pleased 
with the pretty flowers of the Mitella, I believe it was
the flower that they like best of all seen during the
<s>whole</s> day.  Miss E. one of the party found two specimens
of Caulophyllum in the rocky woods between the road
and the river quite close to the spot where the plant
had been found last Saturday.  One specimens was taken and
later I showed them how beautifully the anthers open by
uplifting valves.  When near the Mertensia place I
managed to slip away to get a specimen beautifully
in bloom.  We reached R. before 6 o'clock.  57 different
plants had been found in flower.*
