the stream some distance.  On acc't of the rain and cloudy weather

we went up stream we kept close to the water, but on our return

April 17, 1903.  A beautiful clear day, not too cold nor too warm.  Repeated
the trip along Herring Run with section B.  The ground was not
so wet to-day and tramping was much nicer.  Some time was spent
in noting the difference between Capsella, Sisymbrium and Draba.  On the
right side of the road we found a fine specimen of Valerianella olitoria.
I had them to observe the square stem of the Labiatae.  This was seen

The other plants found were the same as those seen yesterday.
