for a moment one gets the impression it is the coloring of autumn.
Here, too, one sees one precocious willow clothed in bright green.
I searched carefully under the leaves, but Schwienitzia was not
to be found. Arbutus, however was found, fairly abundant for so
early in the season. Here, too, I was surprised to find one lone specimen 
of Tipularia.  It was near the foot of the hill, where the two
paths meet.  I marked the spot by cutting a vertical line in a near by
tree.  On the road, near the spring I found plenty of Funaria hygrometrica (?).  Brooklyn is now provided with electric lights.

April 6, 1901.  A trip to Round Bay.  We took the 7 A.M. train and
reach R.B. a little before 8 o'clock.  It was cloudy, the wind was
from the east and in fact before starting from home, we had a little shower.
When we reached R.B. we mapped out our tramp, intending to visit
our various colored acquaintances, first the one on the hill overlooking
the railroad east of the station, then the one in the meadow on the opposite
side of the track, then Mr. Dorsey and the shanty near the swamp, and finally Mr. Riley where
we hoped to get the Indian axe.  When we reached the swamp it
began to rain.  We noticed that the swamp was almost entirely cleared
of Cyprus.  We walked through the swamp and found Cassandra about
in bloom.  In some places there were large colonies of Sarracenia.
