August 24, 1904, Wednesday Fair. Spent most of the A. M. at Douglastown sunning the driers, changing them, and packing the trunks. About 3.00 P. M.

Took a short walk down the road before supper and up the road after supper. August 25, 1904, Thursday Cloudy and partly rainy. Cool.

After bbreakfast we got our trunks and had them put in one of the sample rooms over the barroom where we shall work. In the late A. M. we crossed on the ferry to York and botanized on ballast whalf. In the P. M. took care of plants and again crossed on the ferry to York where we botanized along the shore and in the cedar swamp one half or three quarters of a mile down the shore. Mr. Baker told me in the late evening that he had arranged for us to go up the Dartmouth River tomorrow. August 26, 1904, Friday Rainy in the early A. M. Cloudy all A. M. Clear in the P. M. and evening. Worked on plants before breakfast and immediately afterwards (at 9.00 o'clock) Fernald, Pease, and I started for Dartmouth River in a carriage with John Case. Near the mouth of the river we engaged Walter Coffin with his canoe. Mr. Case put his horse up at Roberts. We then waited until past eleven for Coffin to get up to us with his canoe. We botanized all day about the islands at the mouth of the river and
