and at 2.30 I was at the terminus of the Catonsville electric line.
I proceeded down Hilton Av. and took the route along Fox Run into
the ravine.  While going along the run, I passed quite a large Hog-nose
snake.  I did not tarry long going over this route for I wished
to go along the River R'd and vist the Mertensia deciding to
gather <s>my</s> ferns on my return.  It was nearly 5 o'clock when I
reached the Mertensia place.  The plants were in full bloom.

Ice was still found on the river bank.  The Erythronium is <s>not</s> now
almost done blooming.  Aquilegia is in full bloom.  It was nearly
six when I again reached the ravine and after eight before I
arrived at the car terminus.  The evening was beautiful, the stars
were out in all their splendor.  On the ground also, were tiny lights
those of the glowworm.
