May 27-30
Midology Co., Mass.
May 29 Took the first train to Lincoln
meeting H. A. Pierce at Walworth. Spent
the day on the road from there to
Cerebed. Took 34 birds among the last ten:
Hcl. chrysoptera, & H. pringenta. But found
10 Papaya dubra (7 D) > 20 D. camuliscus.
Was overhauled by a policeman. Mr. Sartoris being
at Lincoln but showed my permit & finally
calmed his wrath considerably. Eat dinner at the
head of Sandy Pond. Had a cool nice day albeit
rather too windy and cloudy at times. Saw
numerous members of D. maculosa just as
many as 25 in all. Did not have time to
touch on the Hanson meadow.
May 30 Spent the day at Granville with Henry
Blushard. The morning was clear and
beautiful with a cool B. wind but clouds soon
gathered & by 3 P. M. we were driven home by
the petting rain storm). For Huckle we each took
an E. flavistris and saw distinctly E. tracthi.
I got another E. flav. c. & H. chrysoptera, & Dabra,
& Q. indoriana for the course of the day.
