          still covers the earth and the brisk breeze from the north-west.
I started from the Williams Av. terminus and proceeded to Arbutus, then
to Avalon.  It was about 11 o'clcok when I <s>I</s> came to the Sulphur
Spring Hotel so decided to seek its shelter and eat my dinner.
Immediately in front of the hotel on the road is an immense
snow drift.  It was the largest drift I had seen, being fully
four feet high; but after dinner, I came to one still larger.  On
Cannon R'd I found the snow even with the hill-top!  This
drift is fully 8 feet high!  At Avalon, I crossed the river
and proceeded along the River R'd to Orange Grove.  Here I recrossed
the stream and proceeded along the tracks to Ilchester, from whence
I proceeded to Catonsville.  Several interesting observations were made.
Collected a moss in fruit on the willow just beyond Dugan's.

Feb. 22, 1905.  Washington's Birthday.  Took trip to-day through Chaney's
and along the river.  Snow still covers the ground but it is no
longer firm, the mild weather yesterday and the day before when it
also rained, has made it quite "rotten".  Notwithstanding there were 
fewer open places along the river than I had expected, secured two
liverworts, think, however, that I have <s>already</s> collected them before.
