June 10, 1902.  With Walter to Curtis Bay.  The following trees
were noticed that had been attacked by locusts.  Sassafras, Dwarf
Sumach, Wild Cherry, Peach, Dogwood and several species of
Oak chiefly Chestnut Oak, and Hickory.  The undersides of the

branches were quite deep and went entirely through the layer

an organ can pierce such tough branches, for the attacks are
not only in new growth but even on last years growth.
Found to-day for the first time the cleistogamous flowers
of the Impatiens.  These are always fertile. Great long seed
