prepared for it, and each had an umbrella.  Reaching G. we
started towards Marley.  I had taken a quantity of G. cirnita

for planting some.  In the first ravine there was a nice stream
and near the railroad a tributary which passed through quite an
open <s>f</s> woodland.  Here we entered.  Close to the stream and
near the railroad <s>is</s> a very crooked and very noticeable tree on
which was growing a patch of beautiful moss.  Near this tree we
marked a white oak.  Here we planted some of the seed.

Reaching the ravine, we found the stream bordered with quite
a wide flood-plain.  Quite a lot of the seed was planted
along the stream and on this plain.  One place in particular was
marked with an inverted cross.  The woods round about were 
beautiful.  Here and there along the stream red birches stood out
prominantly.  The stream itself flowing along rapidly although
noiselessly in its deep bed.  We were quite enticed and walked
up the stream along its bank determined to find its source.
In several places green beautiful patches of moss, which afforded
most excellent specimens.  One find in particular deserves mention
