August 6, 1904, Saturday Mostly clear in the early A. M. followed by cloudiness. Fernald, Pease, and I got up about 5.30 A. M. and had breakfast at the falls. I cooked our breakfast of bullion, erbswurst, and beams. After breakfast we went up the river for a quarter of a mile and climbed Mount Balde' and later (ten o'clock) started down the river. We stopped occasionally to collect but in the late P. M. stops were infrequent due to lack of time. We reached the mill on the Barachois about 8.00 P. M. and had supper at 8.30 P. M. August 7, 1904, Sunday Clear and windy. Fernald, Pease, and I have been in the house nearly all day taking care of the specimens collected up river. In the late P. M. Pease and I walked out on the Barachois. August 8, 1904, Monday Clear in the early A. M. - cloudy and rainy in the P. M. and evening. Got up about 3.45 A. M. and had breakfast. Fernald, Pease, and I then went over to the mill and started up the river at 5.00 A. M. in canoes with the same canoe men that we had on Friday and Saturday. We collected considerably at the red sandstone slides and bluffs on the right and also on the red sandstone cliffs on the left just above the Bonaventure Fishing Club camp. We went as far up as River Duval. I arrived at 2.20 P. M. and Fernald and Pease at 3.40 P. M. We started back from there about five o'clock and reached the mill on the Barachois at 7.30 P. M. In the evening helped Fernald put Phlegopeteris calcarea in press.
