But the most important find of the day was the finding of a
large colony at best 25  plants of Tipularia discolor.  I marked
the place well.  All within<s>g</s>  a radius of 10 ft. close to a
stump 6 ft. high.  A large tulip tree forking about 13 ft. from
the ground was close at hand.  The spot was not far from
the road, so marked trees in that direction.  Nine were blazed.
The little one story hut of rough boards <s>was</s> is in the woods
right across the road.  To find the Tipularis, keep along the
road till in sight of the hut then enter woods to the right at
an old and large stump beyond 2 pairs of oaks, Keep blazed trees
on your right excepting the first and the last, the ninth.

I now followed <s>to</s>the road to Pumphrey's, took Annapolis R'd crossed
the river and then followed the A. & B. S.L.R.R.  In Sink's
place saw a colored man chopping wood (Robinia pseudoacacia)
he said it was very hard wood, harder than hickory, very durable,
excellent for fence hosts, burns well.

Reached home a little before 4 P.M.
