I was very glad to see it for I thought it would be killed.
Another plant, found only here, Tribulus terrestris, seemed not
to have minded our summer drought, never before have I seen such
pretty specimens of it.  I now looked for a shady and at the same 
time clean place to eat my lunch.  I managed to find one along the
tracks close to a nice pond; cars were standing on the tracks and
afforded shade.  After dinner I walked over to the pump-house
where I got a nice cool drink.  An artesian well 197 feet
deep is here sunk and supplies the railroad company with
water.  On the west side of the pump-house grows a lot of 
Eupatorium hyssopifolium.  It, too, looked fine, as if unaffected
by the drought.  Several excellent specimens were secured.
I now started for home, which I reached by 3 P.M.

Sept. 14, 1900.  A trip to Hurley's woods with Mr. P. & Mr. H.
The day was cloudy threatening rain, in fact, our weather bureau
had predicted rain.  The change in the temperature was most
delightful.  We started from Mr. P's at 1:30 P.M. and took the
Wilkens Av. car, leaving it where it turns out of the avenue to the
stock yards.  We now crossed the bridge, turning to our left to
enter Hurley's woods.  We proceeded towards the stockyards
