was no need of hoping, it only rained the harder.  I felt how my
collar was gradually getting wet and then my back.  For more than an
hour it poured down and the end of that time, it was only the front of 
my shirt that was partly dry.  In the meanwhile two frogs had come to
see me.  One was a tree-frog.  Even before it had stopped raining I
decided to start for home.  There was a slight let-up and I decided
to make the best of it.  I thought I would go by way of the open
field.  Although I was already wet, it was nothing compared to the
condition I was in when I got through the field, my shoes, stockings,
and trousers' legs certainly couldn't have held a drop more of water.
I reached Hilton Av and the car line about half past seven o'clock
and a[an] hour later I was home.  On account of the thunder storm I
think I shall call the spring Thunder-storm Spring.  Many large
fleshy fungi were found.  After the rain quite a number of new ones
were found above ground.  One large specimen of the Polyporaceae was
found that was more than 8 inches in diameter.
