we again went to the spring and while searching around in the thicket
between the spring and the railroad I found more of the gentian.
The place was an ideal one and many plants were found most of
them averaging from 12 to 27 buds.  I walked to the railroad and
took the bearings of the place.  I noticed that the place was almost
continuous with patch found in the morning at the 11 mile post.
A path, too, was noticed leading from the railroad, nearly opposite
the spring and spring house where so many plants were found on the
left side of the railroad.

We now started for Towson.  A path through the woods was found
beyond Lutherville, this we took and a very pleasant trip we found
it.  We reached T. about 6 p.m. and were home about 7.
