even wet our clothing.  On acc't of the rain, we reached the
station nearly an hour ahead of time.  We reached Balto. about 8.30 P.M.

June 24, 1901.  With Section C to Dundalk.  Day very warm.

June 25, 1901.  An afternoon trip to Queenstown.  There was too little 
time to <s>examine</s> go about the place.  I was, however, much interested
in the several large Catalpas, on the hillside near the landing,
perfuming the air with their delightful fragrance.  The trees were
quite large.

June 26, 1901.  To Curtis Bay.  Day very warm.  Roads covered with
an inch or more of dust.  Near the water the mosquitoes were
most <s>viscaius</s> vicious in their attacks.  Two plants only were found that
were interesting a Golden-rod Solidago serotina[note at top of page: This is the earliest I have ever found this Goldenrod and the first time I have found it to preceed S. odora in flowering. S. odora has been found as early as June 17, in 1899.]  and Epilobium angustifolium.
From Curtis Bay I walked towards Brooklyn by way of Church St.
cutting through the woods on reaching Annapolis R'd to First R'd.  Pyrola
rotundifolia was found in flower.  Close to the Pyrola I again found
the Yellow Raspberry: ripe and luscious.  The plant is no doubt a 
variety of the Rubus occidentatis - the Black Raspberry.  I visited
the spot where I had marked specimens of Tipularia: not a trace
of even one was noticed.

June 29, 1901.  I left home at 12.30 P.M. for Catonsville and the ravine.
