a dove resting on a low branch of a tree.  We soon reached
the knoll and here we made our first grand fine [find] of the 
day Opuntia vulgaris.  Several specimens were found. Descending 
the hillside we came to a path leading to the river.
While walking along this path we observed that the Papaw
grew here also; later we found it quite plentifully.  The
view here is very pretty, but seeing a spot farther down
stream where we thought a better view might be obtained
we walked in that direction.  Here we found a long point 
of land projecting far out into the river.  We went out
this point as far as we could go.  On our way we found 
a pretty specimen of Gentiana ochroleuca.  It was now nearly
12 o'clock and we both felt hungry so we decided to eat
our lunch.  It was past one o'clock when we were through
our dinner and started to return.  Returning we went at
over to the railroad tracks and then to the Sarracenia Swamp
where I collected a few specimens for my Wednesday class.
It was while looking for these specimens that we made our
second find of the day, Smilax Walteri (?) with its beautiful
red fruit.  Our trip through the swamp to get some fine specimens
