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.
