August 9, 1906, Thursday, (Continued)
built a cairn for marking spot- altitude 4100 feet.
Cote', Joe, and Fernald went southeast to a lake
which we called "ac Cote" and made camp while
I went up on the big main dome alone and built
a cairn. Took pictures and them returned to south
dome and did the same there. Big dome 4250 feet
altitude. Between the two domes there are two
small ponds- one having its western edge still
nothing but a snowbank. Reached the big dome
3:30 P.M. and spent nearly two hours about
the summit. On the way down to the south dome
found Fernald collecting Phegopteris alpesteris-
new to eastern America. We went to camp together
and found it located in a beautiful spot on the
northeast edge of a lake which empties into
Magdalen River. Shall plan to sketch it later.
Altitude of lake 3250 feet.
August 10. 1906, Friday
Clear. Fernald, Cote', Joe, and I slept in
Fernald's tent very comfortably with a fire in
front of opening. Joe and Cote' got up once
or twice and put wood on the fire. Temperature
at 4.30 A.M. 55. After breakfast Fernald and I
got some plants ready for Cote' to take down
to the Ste. Anne River camp. We then went up
on the meadow by brook just west of camp- heard
a moose in the pond and I went down and we
got four photos of him. Took some pictures of
plants.
