had already eaten my lunch, so we started for the ravine going
by way of the pump-house.  On the road beyond V's we
found Viola pedata and V. bicolor in full bloom, they looked
beautiful.  On the little island beyond the pump-house we found
Okenia sessilifolia, just coming into bloom.  To-day the Erythronium
was out in full bloom, thousands of the beautiful
plants were seen in flower, their petals gracefully reflexed to their
fullest extent, for to-day was a day of sunshine the

Mr. W. had brought with him.  From the spring we wandered over to
Camp Run.  Here Dentaria and Anemonella were in full bloom.
We went at once to the apparent head of the stream and I
again examined the plant at the foot of the oak.*  It was
