July 24, 1905, Monday
Cloudy and partly foggy. Cool. Had breakfast about
7.15 before which and after which we worked on
plants. About 10.00 A. M. Mr. and Mrs. Williams
Miss Waring, Fernald and I took rucksacks, vasculums,
etc. and went up Mt. Ste. Anne. Fernald and I
explored the smaller ravine east of the big cliff
but did not enter the larger ravine. Found the
den of some large animal (possibly a bear) with
the partially eaten remains of a sheep, a crow,
and a rabbit. We also found some snow and collected
a good many interesting plants. Got back about
7.00 P. M.
July 25, 1905, Tuesday
Cloudy, foggy and somewhat rainy. We all spent
the A. M. in taking care of plants collected
yesterday. In the early P. M. we went in a team
to Grand Coupe. Mr and Mrs Williams botanized
along the base of ridges and Miss Waring, Fernald
and I went up the cliffs and around to the next
"coupe" to the westward. We got many nice things,
e.g.; Dryas integrifolia, Salix vestita, Aspidium
Lonchites, Colralorrhiza striata, etc. Got back
about 7.00 P. M. very wet. Had a fine supper and
later walked to the post office.
July 26, 1905; Wednesday
Cloudy. We worked all A. M. on plants collected
yesterday. In the P. M. we rode via carriage
to White Cape and got three Drabas. In the
evening Mr and Mrs Williams, Miss Waring, and I
walked to wharf, Mt. Joli, and back to wharf.
