seats and were told to go into the Pullman car.  Here we get two 
comfortable seats in same section with a Mr. Taylor.  We reached
home about 9 p.m. thoroughly pleased with our trip.  Seldom have

Oct. 12, 1900.  2:15 P.M. Mr. P. called at the school about 2
P.M.  A trip was soon arranged.  Taking the cars we rode as
far as the B&P R.R. Sta. on Frederick Rd.  Leaving the car we
took the road towards St. Agnes's Hospital but soon crossed an 
open field towards the railroad tracks.  There we followed a short
distance when Mr. P. looking at his watch, thought we might
go to Arbutus then to the swamp on Washington R'd and examine
Lygodium palmatum.  This arrangement of the trip was therefore followed.
We reached the swamp about 4 o'clock.  We soon found
Lygodium, but the finding of fruiting specimens was not so easy.
Mr. P. who had found it before <s>called my attention</s> directed me to look for a
specimen that had climbed to some height.  In a little while
a nicely fruited specimen was found.  It had climbed more
than 2 ft. from the ground and was nearly 3 ft. long.  We now 
looked for <s>other</s> more specimens but failed to find another one.
