July 12, 1904, Tuesday Foggy nearly all day. Showers in the late P. M. Immediately after breakfast Miss Shaw, Miss Brooks, Fernald, and I rode in a carriage out the Cacouna Road for two miles and botanized on the salt marshes. In the P. M. we all botanized along the ledges on shore near hotel and later Fernald and I walked along the ledges northeast of the hotel. In the evening we all walked on the Riviere- du- Loup road to the bridge over the river. July 13, 1904, Wednesday Very foggy in the early A. M. Fair in the P. M. After our breakfasts Miss Brooks, Fernald, and I rode via carriage to the Riviere- du- Loup Falls and botanized in the vacinity for a couple of hours. Boarded the Steamer Virginia about 5. 30 P.

M. on the Steamer Virginia at the Chicoutimi Wharf. Dressed and went up on deck and stayed there most of the time on the down trip which commenced about 5.00 A. M. Had lunch of Educators, chocolate, etc. between three and four and breakfast on the steamer in Ha- Ha Bay. Had dinner just before reaching Tadoussac. The scenery was fine. Mostly rocky headlands covered with arctic looking vegetation. At Cap Trinity the steamer stopped for a few moments under the sheer cliff which is about 1500 feet high. At Saint Alphonse on Ha- Ha Bay we all went ashore to botanize awhile. At Tadoussac we did the same for an hour and a half. We visited some of the ledges, sanddunes and the old chapel in the village and later the salmon hatchery.
