this year it ha<s>d</s>s only 3 flowers.  I took a picture of the plant.  We
now went up to the Helonias place and here, we found a nice place
to eat dinner.  After dinner while looking about, I frightened a little
bird from her nest.  It was the oven-bird.  I found the nest, and in
it were four eggs.  It is from the construction of its nest that the
bird gets its common name.  We now started for M.  As we passed
through P's we stopped to sample some large strawberries.  At the station
we met Mr. P.  In the course of conversation, he told us that he expected
Mr. S. and sure enough, while we were talking about him, we saw
him coming up the road with a lot of the training school girls.  They
had been to the old furnace, to the pond, and to Marley bridge.  They had
made their trip by water having secured a naptha launch at the foot of
Marshall St.  We were anxious to go to the bridge and also to the pond
so we <s>bade</s> said good-bye and proceeded along the tracks towards the road
leading to Marley bridge.  On the way we found Lysimachia in flower
also Arnica nudicaulis.  I hoped to find Aletris but passed it.

The little swamp that we passed on our way to the bridge, presented a beautiful
sight to-day,  Leucothoe racemosa was in full bloom.  Here, too, we found
our first Magnolia.  Azalea viscosa was also found in flower.  At the
bridge was the launch.  After examining it we started for Glenburnie.
