*I counted the seeds in one of the capsules ( a medium sized one) and found that
it contained 650 seeds.

A man ploughing and he directed us how to find the dam.  This we
now did without trouble and before long reached the bridge at the
head of the pond.  It was here that, Mr. W., more than 15 yrs. ago, found
the Pitcher-plant and we hope to-day again to find them. We crossed
the bridge and entered the swampy ground to our left.  We <s>had</s> did not go
very far when Mr. W. found the first plant.  Close to the swampy border
of the stream I saw several beautiful shrubs, with thick shiny leaves, whose
branches were filled with black shining berries.  At first, I thought, since
the fruit was so similar to the huckleberry the the plant was Gaylussacia
brachysera the Box Huckleberry.  When I looked up this latter
plant though I found that I was mistaken and I soon learned that my
find was Ilex glabra the Inkberry.  It was now close to noon, so we
found a nice place on the hillside and here we ate our dinner.  After
dinner we started on an exploring trip up the stream.  We found quite a 
number of Pitcher-plants and managed to get some of their seed.*  In the
boggy ground grew Lycopodium.  I secured several fine
specimens, growing with this plant I found a new speces of Utricularia.
We followed the branch up quite a distance, at one place we came to a
fence and here we found the largest Pitcher plant we have ever seen.
There were 8 capsules still attached to the plant which occupied a niche
