July 21, 1904, Thursday Cloudy and showery in the P. M. several times. Cooler. Had a breakfast at Allard's, Nouvelle, of oatmeal porridge and raspberry jam and afterwards Fernald and I changed driers and dried them again. At 10.10 A. M. or thereabouts we came via railway to Carleton. Took carriage from depot to Cullen's Hotel situated about one hundred feet from the shore of Chaleurs Bay. Had our trunks put in an empty store next to the hotel where we planned to work. In the P. M. Fernald and I walked out on the first point beyond the light-house botanizing. After supper Fernald took care of the plants. July 22, 1904, Friday Cloudy most of the day. Several light showers during the A. M. About 9.00 A. M. Fernald and I went along the road to the east and thence onto the salt marshes just west of Tracidigash Point. In P. M. we rode via carriage to the base fpf Tracidigash Point and botanized there all day until the carriage came for us about five o'clock. We got more than one hundred specimens of Botrychrum lunaria and several other interesting plants. Saw scores of blue herons, white herons, and red herons. In the evening while Fernald was taking care of his plants I gave my shoes(tan) a good coat of grease.
