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.
