straw hat, really a very good hat, which he said he was bought
at B's, the hat and a pound of liver for 9¢.  He only wanted
the hat, but his daughter couldn't buy the hat without taking
the liver.  At Brooklandville we stopped a few moments
and I put the few plants I had collected in press.  The large
home on the corner we learned belonged to Mr. Geo. Brown.
We now took the Green Sp. Valley Road.  Our walk along this road
was most pleasant.  At Stevenson station, though, we had to
again take the railroad.  It was now after 12 o'clock so we
began to look for a good place to camp.  A good place was
found in a ravine not far from the station.  As we entered
it we found an abandoned lime kiln and a short distance
beyond a fine spring.  After dinner we continued our trip along
the railroad.  It was almost 4 o'clock when we reached [Chattolanee].
We walked to the spring which is close by and drank
some of the delicious water.  The water bubbles up from the
ground and fills a large reservoir more than 15 ft. in diameter
to a depth of about 3 ft.  Sometime large bubbles of gas
also rise from the bottom which is almost completely covered
with a green substance, no doubt some fresh water alga.
