August 7, 1906, Tuesday, (Continued) Began to pick over plants but had to stop on account or rain. From top of Third Peak Cote' and I saw three moose in a pond to the northeast. They were there for nearly an hour. August 8, 1906, Wednesday Cool and windy. After breakfast packed up some mosses to send down to the Forks. About 9.00 A. M. Roy and Perry started for the Forks with packs. I went along with them to the top of First Peak where I took some pictures, and triangulation sketches. Got back about 11.00 A. M. Worked until late P. M. taking care of plants. Fernald and Joe then went up to large ponds above the camp and got some Rubus camemoris berries. Cote' went down to Lac des Americains this P. M. and got 47 trout. In the evening helped Fernald change driers. August 9, 1906, Thursday Very cold last night. Fernald and Joe got about 4.30 A. M. Temperature at 6.00 A. M. 48. After breakfast Joe, Cote', Fernald, and I started for the eastern edge of the mountain at 8.45. We went up south edge of the lake #43 and western edge of #46 and thence along meadows for perhaps a mile southeast of lake #101, and down to small flat cone in the center of depression (altitude of cone 3750 feet). Lunch in meadow (altitude 3450 feet) before we got to the cone. From this cone we went up the 'South Dome'and
