August 11. 1904, Thursday
Cloudy all day. Clear in the late evening. In the A.M.
all of us worked on the plants. In the P. M. we explored
a bog northeast of the house and got some interesting
things(Dro?eras, Rubus arctica, etc.). In the late
P. M. and evening we all worked on the plants collected.
August 12, 1904, Friday
Clear in the A. M. We all worked on the plants until
about eleven o'clock when Pease and I walked up a hill
back of the house and thence northward and eastward
and finally southward to the bay and back along the
shore. In the P. M. we all worked on the plants until
four o'clock when we went up into the cedar swamp a
half or three quarters of a mile north of the house.
In the evening we worked on the specimens until 10 P. M.
August 13, 1904, Saturday
Mostly fair or cloudy. Fernald, Pease, and I spent
practically all the A. M. on the plants except just
before dinner when we went to the Post Office. In the
P. M. all three of us went up to a pond (Mare Pond) about
three quarters of a mile north of the house. We worked
all the P. M. in the bog surrounding the pond which
latter was only an acre or two in extent. In the
evening we worked on the plants.
August 14, 1904, Sunday
Rainy and very windy from southeast or southwest, Rained
all day. Heavy surf running. In the A.M. we all worked
in a shed on plants. In the P. M. we all put on full
waterproof suits and walked down to the shore east of the
wharf and watched surf and took some photographs. Came
back by way of the wharf.
