to us; where I found salamander eggs.  I think all were salamander
eggs, although some of the masses were more translucent
than some of the others.  I next examined the Tipularias  near
the fence; one patch has disappeared, but the one near the 
double tree is still there, in it are 8 specimens.  Here, I found
a five-lobed Hepatica-leaf [sketch of leaf].  [Across this part of the page is a drawing of the same leaf featured in the sketch. It goes over the script]  I crossed the brook, when
close to Owl spring and examined the patch of Tipularia near the
bridge.  The path near the 3 water bushes looked fine in it
are 7 specimens.  I now went to the spring and after clearing
it of all leaves*,[note at top of page:  While removing the leaves I saw a pretty red newt with black dots on its body, glide into a crevice in the spring] ate my dinner.  It was nearly two o'clock
when I was through, so started onward for Camp Run, which
I reached at exctly two o'clock,the time I was to meet Mr. W.
He had not yet come but I heard him off in the distance
calling.  He soon came up to me and after a short rest we
went up the run to look for Skunk Cabbage.  None were
found so we returned, we, however, found Corylus Americana in bloom.  Sprouting
acorns were found here also, most abundantly.  How beautiful 
they looked with their brillian red color!  Strange that
the part exposed to the air, should be tinted so brilliantly.
Dentaria heterophylla was found coming up everywhere. At Camp Run
