* We called the run Helonius Run & lowland H. marsh.

that number not in bloom.  Already most of the plants were
done blooming.*  Here, too, we found our first Cypripedium acaule
in bloom.  It was now after 11 o'clock, so we thought we would
find a place for our camp.  We went up the hillside and came
to a large field.  We had decided to go to Reedy Marsh, but thought
we would first eat dinner.  Seeing a pretty road, we thought we 
would go along it, that it no doubt would lead us to a suitable
camping place.  The road, however led us to a farm house (Mr. Watts).
Here we inquired our way to the marsh.  We learned too that
it was Mr. S. that had set the leaves afire.  He had been

spring, so we found a place not far from it and we ate
our dinner.  After dinner we went to F.H. and from there towards Glenburnie.  Along the railroad we found Iris verna in bloom.  We searched
carefully for buds, but they were very scarce.  As we passed the Aletris farinosa 
spot I saw that the little bud, which finally becomes the tall spikes
of flowers were already quite prominent.  Arrived at G. we went to the pond.

of Pyrus arbutifolia.  V. [Viola] Atlantica was found at the branch on our way
