Intended to come out to the South Shore Hotel but instead ar- rived one mile over. Along the South Shore road from Bearwell came upon a broad cutting that was rich in Puccinia ignita. About a half mile farther was where the road is nearest the sea, formed over the fields when the dunes at high cliffs, probably 75 feet above sea level. Here was a grove about one foot thick the snails are wonderfully common and as they creation out free one can get to P. termulensis in fine speci- mens by the hundreds. Also got four or five other snails. Our share all that I can use. In the road side cutting came a poor large gastropod, to me commonly used by the digenease hermit crab, and which one of them had dropped off the hill side when I found it. Today saw no associated marine shells flown into the dunes as I did some days ago. The card reef here are out a few hundred feet and to the Atlantic Ocean. Inside the reef saw several fine sculpins atolls as figured by Perill,
