June 1, 1903.  To Dundalk and vicinity in search for Marchantia.  I went to
the place where I found it growing so profusely last year but could not find
a trace of it.  Snakes were quite common.

June 3, 1903.  With Section C of my botany class to Herring run.  Poison Oak
is found plentifully along this stream.  Quite close to the path we found a
wood-thrush on its nest.  We went along the stream to the Ivy Mill
R'd then returned across the hills.  On the way back we found Penstemon
hirsuta [hirsutus] in flower.  Velvet Grass was found plentifully near the car line.

June 5, 1903.  With Section A & B to Mt. Winans.  We walked along the
bank around the pond.  Velvet Grass was found near the ice house.
In the woods beyond the pond two specimens of Arnica multiflora
were found.  There was a great deal of haziness in the atmosphere and
one could not see far in the distance.*

Amianthemum muscaetoxicum was found in full bloom; so many plants were

not decide what name to give.  This has been an ideal year for the last two
