grows, we found it almost completely under water.  No doubt,
the plant will now be a thing of the past.  We now came
to the dam and saw that it was completed, water was running
over it.  We did not stay here very long for the sight
was not very pleasing.  Possibly in a year or two when Nature
has clothed those denuded rocky banks again, it may be.

From the dam we went to the spring at F's.  Near his place
I secured several fronds of Cystopteris fragilis.  We soon crossed
the bridge at Avalon and then proceeded along the railroad tracks
to Relay.  We search[ed] carefully for Clitoria Mariana.  We found
the plant but it was no longer in flower.  At R, we entered
the garden.  Here we found a large Pyrus Japonica with a number
of fruits.   The plant was very large and at first I did not
recognize it and did not until I saw the prominent little spines
in the axils of the leaves.  It has the most beautiful stipules
of any plant I know.  They are so large & prominent, and their
shape--Kidney-shaped-- I think is characteristic.  At R. we
had but a short time to wait.  In about 5 min. our train came
along.  We arrived at Camden Station about 7.10 o'clock.  Aboard
our train was Mr. Deutsch, he had collected 2 large baskets of ferns.**
