          675.

We observed the peculiar dumpy buds of the Pandia Trees
also the peculiarly pointed shoots of the Erythronium, which
look very much like nicely pointed lead-pencils sticking out of
the ground.  The Erythronium was found in all stages of growth.
When we reached Windsor Hills most of the party were so tired
that they hastened on to cars, but a few were anxious to stay 
longer. <s>so</s> We, few therefore continued our trip along the race
as far as the old mill.  We enjoyed this part of our trip
very much.  Under the rock at the head of the race, I saw
several young fronds, which I think may be a new find.
I shall visit the spot again later.  One nice spathe of
Skunk Cabbage was still found.  Going home we crossed
the hills and reached the cars by way of the elevated
bridge.  I think everybody was pleased with the trip.
We met several groups of ladies, also out botanizing.
It was quarter to seven when we reached the cars.

April 12, 1902.  A trip with Mr. W. to Relay, Elkridge, and vicinity.
We met at Camden station and took the 7.20 A.M.
train.  It was raining when I started from home, but before
the train left the station the sun was shining.
