a beautiful plant and is now in bloom.  I stopped too, to
see how the work on the dam, the Catonsville Water Works Co.
is building, is progressing.  Considerable work has been done
since I saw it last.  They are now digging the trough to divert the
water so as to complete the dam.  It is said that the dam
will back the water up for 2 miles, thus forming a very large 
lake.  I now hastened onward and reached O.G. about 3 P.M.
I crossed the river and soon entered the ravine.  In the ravine I
found Aplectrum for the first time since spring.  The leaves have
not attained their full <s>gro</s> growth as yet, showing that they
have not been long above ground.  When I reached Owl
spring I examined the Pogonia and found it still growing.
Tipularia was next examined, it, too, is above ground.

From the spring I started for the open field, but seeing 
a nice path I walked along it.  It proved to be a
fine path and led to Seminole Av.  I reached the terminus
about 5 P.M. and arrived home at 6 P.M.
