the brook in its fall over the rocks has made cascades of great beauty.
The sides of this ravine are in many places for long distances very steep
being almost perpendicular and impassable.  Reaching the River R'd
now, again, we continued along it, till we reached O. G. where we
crossed the river.  Quite a number of thrushes were seen on our way.
After crossing the river we went in the direction of our ravine but
on reaching the first tiny ravine beyond O. G. we decided to reach 
our camp by going by way of "The Rocks."  We had not proceeded
very far, when we found, immediately after passing a large fallen trunk
of an oak, a pretty patch of 5 specimens of Aplectrum hiemale[hyemale].  The spot
was marked by tying a piece of red silk on a near-by tree.  We had very
little trouble in finding "The Rocks" to-day.  It was now after
12 o'clock and we both felt very hungry so we hastened onward to our
camp at Silver Run.  We reached the camp at 1 o'clock and at once
started <s>it</s> a fire and coffee was prepared.  We enjoyed our dinner very
much.  After dinner I started on a trip up the run, Mr. W. said
he would follow later as he first wished to read the paper.

and liverworts[note at top of page: Porella platyphylla. I think almost entirely.] 
to-day from that of last Saturday.  How beautiful
the wet rocks looked then covered as with a <s>heav</s> thick mantle
