capoules on the False 1 slopes above. There
smingle with Paphia americana, etc. One plant
of Poa alpina in a wet crevice, with Trisetum
& Carex capillaris, var. elongata.
Train of Atlantic & L. Sep Ry of course late (15 min)

Beaumane etc.). The west-bound train at noon
brought the General Manager, Beales, on his way to Campbellton,

be there shortly, the fourth engine being in repair shop —

a farm, Browns, where we were cordially taken in.
During the wait I explored a little
salt marsh which was covered in distinctly collet
patches with Carex maritima, C. novae-zeelandiae, C.
clareosa, Leersia oryzoides, & Glyceria latifolia, with
