Introduced plants.
We continued our walk and visited many spots
where choice plants had been introduced, either in
sphagnum bog, or on a slope under the pines, &

I saw Ledum latifolium, Moneses grandiflorum,
Epigaea repens, Habenaria orbiculata, {Habenaria}
fimbriata,
Cytisus scoparius (Scotch Broom), Phegopteris dryopteris,
{Phegopteris} polypodioides, Adiantum pedatum and many others.

shouldered Hawk attracted our attention in one
place and we saw the large fine bird sail
over our heads above the trees. A Blue Jay
never keeps up the cry of this Hawk more
than a very few times. He either stops or
changes his tune into his regular cry.

Quail's nest with 17 eggs
After dinner Will was busy superintending
some work near the cabin, and so I crossed
the river with Gilbert and walked over to
a farm owned by a Mr. Arnold to visit
a Quail’s nest. It was remarkable in being
absolutely exposed. The situation was in
the side of a small bank some six feet
from a stone wall across which was the
highway between Concord and West Bedford.
A small hole was scooped out in the
bank, and lined with dry grass and in that
