Falls.  I took the car to the western end of Balto. St.  My first
intention was to cross the falls and walk along the west side.
But the appearance of that side, on reaching the falls
was so uninteresting that I soon changed my plans and decided
to walk along the race.  Nothing especially of note was
noticed until I reached a point opposite the northern end
of the quarry (an eye-sore to that side of the falls), here close
to a shrine I found my first Ostrya Virginica the Hop-Hornbean
recognized at once by its fruit.  I tried hard to get a
few specimens, for I wished to make comparisons with Carpinus,
but they were too far out of reach.  A short distance farther
on and I came to the Edmondson Av. bridge and here I got specimens
of Paulownia leaves.  To them was really the reason
of my trip along this <s>post</s> part of the falls.  Several years ago I had
already noticed the unusually large size of these leaves on young
plants, and it was to answer a query*  regarding their size that
I determined to again look up some young plants and measure
some of the leaves.  A few of the largest were selected and the 
following measurements were made #1 width 20 inch, entire length
33 in. foot-stalk alone 20 in., length of leaf including basal lobes 18½ in.
