January 9, 1904.  With Mr. W. to Round Bay.  We left Camden station
on the 8:30 A.M. train.  The morning was bright and clear, not a cloud
to be seen, notwithstanding the Weather Bureau's prediction of cloudy
weather.  Snow was on the ground, almost everywhere, only here and
there, where the sun shone all day, were occasional spots free of it.
Arrived at R.B. we started along the track in the direction of Winchester.
When we started the air was almost balmy, but we had not gone
very far when the wind began to blow up and as we proceeded it became
more & more windy and colder.  At one time it was blowing so strong 
that we thought it might be wise to return.  To-day we proceeded
in this direction, with the intention of possibly going into Annapolis.
On the way we intended to observe the various stretches of woods, the
swamps, if any, and all things of possible botanical interest.

The next station beyond R.B. is Jones', stretches of woods lined both
sides of the railroad and the outlook appeared most pleasant.  But
beyond Jones' and from there to Winchester, there appeared almost
unbroken expanse of clearing.  Only occasionally did we pass a spot
that we thought would prove interesting.  Beyond Winchester all this
changed, the woods again appeared, the scenery became quite rugged
a swamp and an inlet appeared on our left, and soon afterwards the river.
