Here, too, he has a fine specimen of Egyptian Papyrus belonging to
his son.  In the nursery not far from the Horsechestnuts are a 
number of beautiful spruces : -- the White, the Blue and one 
with foliage very much resembling the Hemlock's.  We remained
in the Park till after 6 o'clock.

March 12, 1904.  With Mr. W. & Mr. F. through the ravine.  We
had timed ourselves so well that we met in the car and all reached
the Catonsville terminus at the appointed time -- 8.30 A. M.  The
morning was cloudy and a raw wind was blowing from the north-east.
It was therfore rather chilly when we first started out, but
by the time we entered the ravine we were quite comfortable.  We
took the path to the Pump-house.  On the way I collected
twigs of Tulip & Hickory.  When quite close to the Pump-house,
Mr. F. observed that one of his gloves was missing, Mr. W., & he, therefore
retraced their steps. but failed to find it.  In the meanwhile, I
collected more twigs.  When they returned we proceeded on our trip.
Our bridge near the Pump-house has withstood the winter-ice.
We took the path leading to the little pool.  I thought that
salamander's eggs might possibly be found, but there were none.
Mr. W., here found a fresh egg, which we took with us.
