May 17, 1904.  A.M. A trip to Brooklyn and vicinity.  Dogwood is in full bloom.
Collected a few for Miss E.  Searched in a number of places for Uvularia
perfoliata but found only 3 in bloom.  On my way home found near an
old Norway maple stump several fine clusters of Coprinus micaceus.

May 17, 1904.  P.M. A trip to Ruxton.  One of the prettiest things seen was
a copper maple.  As the name signifies, the leaves are of a pretty coppery
color.  It is, I believe, a variety of the Norway maple, the foliage of both
<s>being</s> having the same shape.  Near the entrance of the estate, on which grew the
maple, I found a plant of Berberis vulgaris.

May 19, 1904.  To Brooklyn with Section A. of Botany Class.  About
3 o'clock we had quite a shower, but it soon ceased and the sun
shone bright.  We, therefore, met at the appointed hour.  I went
the ususal route through the ravine and the road along the hillside.
As we entered the woods one of the ladies found a Cypripedium
acaule.  I was quite surprised to find it here in a locality which
I had been through so often and had never found.  Just as we
left the ravine we had a little shower.  It did not last long and
some of us got wet.  Returned home by 7 P.M.

May 20, 1904.  With Section B. to Curtis bay.  I was surprised
to find Myrica cerifera and Leucothoe racemosa. To-day, like
