Aplectrum.  A short distance down and close to the run we observed
a beautiful spot and saw at a glance what a pretty camp it would

two trees, of sufficient height to protect us from keen westerly
or north-westerly winds.  The brook with its pure sparkling water 
ran in front of it hardly 8 ft. away.  We decided to call our 
camp "Rock Camp" and cut the initials R.C. into one of the beeches
near the rock.  Close to this camp were 8 specimens of Aplectrum.
We now hastened to our camp, and after a brief rest, planted
the willow cuttings (12 cuttings were planted.)  Everything was then
packed away and we started for home.  About 75 from the camp we
found a solitary specimen of Tipularia which we marked with a piece
of red.  When we reached Owl Camp (near our spring) we crossed the
brook to examine the Tipularia near the bridge.  They were all in good
condition.  We then recrossed the brook, but had not proceeded far

close to the tree which we marked and only a short distance away 10 more.
