* Here growing between the railroad ties were several small patches of a creeping plant,
in bloom. At first I thought it Nepeta Glechoma, but on stooping I saw that it was not and also
that it was no labiate.  It proved to be Linaria repens, a plant brought in ballast from Europe
and found more or less now along our coast.  This is the first time I have seen it however.

November 22, 1902.  With Mr. W. to G. and vicinity.  We took the early train
and arrived at G. about 7 o'clock.  To-day we intended to visit the large rocks
at E. that Mr. W. had told us about; we, after making a few inquiries at the station, therefore, proceeded along the tracks in that direction.

At M.* we met Mr. Revell, he had missed <s>his</s> the early train and was therefore
waiting for the next.  Mr. R. told us that the rocks were on Mr. Pumphrey's
property and also how to reach them, <s>whi</s> without first going to E. Following
his directions we entered a field a short distance down the tracks.
Here we met a man who directed us most minutely.  Not far from us
was the school-house on the road to E., and nearly opposite it was the
road which led to the rocks.  We had now very little trouble and in
a short time we were there.  The rocks surpassed our expectations.
They are a rather soft rock and are weathered considerably.  They cover
a surface of 2 or 3 Acres.  Several of the larger ones are boulder-like and project
out of the earth 20 or more feet.  Parts of there surface are lichen covered
but the greater part is weathered and rounded off and completely bare.
In a few spots grew mosses, a fruited specimen of which was collected, and
also Polypodium vulgare.  The boulder-like masses stand out very irregularly;
near their bases, all were weathered more or less irregular<s>ly</s> & deep, the boulder
arching beautifully over the surface of the ground forming sheltered caves.
