inserted in the nuts.  Before long we reached the ravine where
we had planted the Gentiana crinita seed during the early winter
but no traces of plants were noticed.  Here, too, we had
found Gentiana Andrewsii, but to-day, it, too, was not seen.
After satisfying ourselves that no traces of the plants were
to be found we, retraced our steps as far as the road
to Marley.  Close to this road, at the 4th telegraph pole
I saw a number of plants, having very much the appearance 
of Aletris farinosa. I made note of the spot so as to
revisit it <s>this</s> next year.  It was after 1 o'clock when
we reached Marley bridge and found a suitable spot to
eat our lunch.  After dinner we went to R's, borrowed
a boat and rowed up the stream.* Nymphaea odorata was
found still in bloom mirabile dictu and a number of pretty specimens
were gotten.  This I believe is probably the latest I have
recorded finding these pretty flowers.  After cruising about
a little while we returned the boat and started slowly back
to the station which we reached about dusk.  In half an
hour our train arrived & we returned to the city.
