June 10. (Wednesday) Went to Bergen Beach to
see about Spartina maritima for church at Bronx.
Material of S. alterniflora not yet in flower and will
not be for another month. Collected Carex debilis and
Agrostis scrobiculata.
June 11. (Thursday). Left at noon for the Catskills.
Rained hard in Kingston but cleared by the time the
Catskills were reached. Stopped at South Lake for
Cherleria Smallsii, Carex atlantica, C. interior, C. stricta, etc.
and at the quarries at Taconville for fossil plants of which
I got several good slabs.
June 12. (Friday)
Climbed Middleham High Peak in morning. Carex is so
particularly profuse and interesting on the west slope including
C. more-agilis, C. communis, C. aestivalis, C. radiata, C.
praeclinis, C. [illegible] var. Budgei, C. laxiflora and C. capriculus
all growing adjacent. Further up the mountain Milium
effusum, Carex leptoneura, and C. intermedia var.
Smaraldi; the summit of Northern High Peak has only
two large trees (beeches) but an undergrowth of Prunus
virginiana', P. pensylvanica, Acer spicatum,
principally. On the steep northern slope, Ribes (2
species) and great masses (naturally sparse) of
Decandra canadensis and D. Cucullaria, Claytonia
Caroliniana, Erythronium, and the oblate-leaved
Trillium erectum. Returned to Maple Crest by way of
the Ridge.
June 13 (Saturday).
Visited Cribb in the morning. Collected in early
afternoon on Sandstone escarpment west of
Middleburgh: Carex varia (?), Andromeda, Eury-
physisophos, Rhus aromatica, Thieracium venosum,
