minded there, and got away again after about two hours delay. and be camped at start on the left bank of the river having come about 25 miles from York. and set a few.컞s. Aug 30. Took 2 Eotrompus & one Peromyscus. Made an early start and at Dark had passed the mouth of the Shamatawa River, a short ngtoner. Camped at the mouth of a small stream and set some traps. Aug 31. Took Peromyscus. Japar & Microtis. Rain commenced to fall about daylight, so we delayed starting and made up our specimens. Left about 9 o'clock and made good progress the rest of the day and camped about start, sunset. Set out a line of traps in bushes and gran on the banks of the river Saturday Sept 1. Took Peromyscus Microtus & Eotrompus in my traps and shot a red squirrel near Camp. Left camp about 6 o'clock with prospects of a hood day. Reached the mouth of the Fox River about noon and stopped for dinnues. Near here saw Populus tremuloides and Betula papyrifera, this being their furthest point reached by them on this river as far as Fox River Knorr. Saw moose tracks after miles below. Proceeded on up the river until good dark. The River is a succession of rapids here and tracking was very difficult. I think we made only about 10 miles to during the afternoon. Sunday Sept 2. Commenced to rain about daylight and rained quite steadily until nearly noon, so we were unable to proceed. We shunned what specimens we had on hand and mended our canoe, which had broken the day before and was leaking badly. Left about noon as the rain had口ated and continued on until dark
