of Carices. Was much interested in
his Carex collection. Met Prof Dudley
who gave me the typical Aster tradescantii
named by Dr. Gray.

On Dec. 27, I went to Ashland and
inspected Mr. Morong's Herbarium
which is stored away. Insects were
on the Umbelliferae — I put cam-
phor in every case and trust it

Mr. & Miss Wiggins who were very
cordial indeed. Miss Wiggins helped
me with the plants.

The weeks have rolled by since my last
entry. School work and herbarium work have
occupied me. I have kept up an active cor-
respondence with all my botanical friends,
especially with Mr. Bebb & LH Bailey & WW.
Bailey. Have named a set of New Brunswick
plants for John Britain of Fredericton, N.B.
CG Pringle has send me a package of our
150 elegant Man. plants. Lots of plants from
J.R Churchill. This P.M. I spoke
for an hour and a quarter on Our Native
Ferns before the Plant Club. The meeting
was at Miss Goodwin's, 10 Follen St. I spoke
of the frutification and illustrated on the
blackboard. I enjoyed it.
