Mr. Travers.  He was very pleasant to us.  It was 4 o'clock when we
started homeward.  We had gone some distance when Mr. W. noticed
that he had forgotten his rubber shoes which he had hidden at the Gentian
Hills, and had to return for them.  While he was gone I collected
specimens of leaves.  It was 6 o'clock when we were nearing the top of
the hill going up Hilton Av. and it was quite dark.  Before long it was 
very dark.  Along the road side, the pretty glowworms were occasionally
seen, this pretty light shining with increased brightness on account of
the darkness of the night.  We reach the terminus about 7 o'clock.

October 12, 1903.  During Saturday night, there was more heavy rain.
Yesterday it cleared.  To-day it is bright and very pleasant.
I left home about 10 o'clock and went to Brooklyn to collect 
leaves and fruits.  The heavy wind had brought down many of the 
nuts and the ground in some places was strewn with them.  I had
hoped to get specimens of parallel-veined leaves, but found that 
the plants with this kind of leaf had already disappeared, one 
solitary specimen of the False Solomon's Seal alone being found; not a
specimen of Uvularia perfoliata was found.
