July 3, 1903.  With Mr. W. through the ravine to the east of Hilton Av.
We met at the Catonsville car terminus at about ½ past 8.  To-day, we intended visiting the swamp at the head of this ravine.  At one time this swamp
is said to have been of considerable size, now, however, it is not very
large.  Nevertheless, Rosa Carolina grows here luxuriantly and so too, Scutellaria
integrifolia and Oenothera fruticosa var linearis.*  We found the swamp without
any trouble, then continued along the edge of it** and afterwards along 
the brook till we reached the Patapsco.  As it was very warm we walked
very slowly, stopping several times to rest, and so reached the river about
5 o'clock our tramp through the ravine having taken more than 9 hours.
Our best find was made <s>at</s> near the beginning of our trip when we came
to a pretty patch of 19 specimens of Lilium Canadense.  I have not seen
the plant for several [?] so was very pleased to <s>find</s> see it again and this, too,
in an entirely new place.  It was very close to the road leading to the
mansion for Hilton Av.  This plant generally has but one terminal
flower, occasionally, however a plant is found with two flowers.  Just
as we saw the lilies we saw too, two turtles (box tortoises) in the act
of copulating.  The poor male, at sight of us, was very much frightened,
and seemed to be anxious to get away.  This, however, was not so easily
