I left Washington for the Autumn collecting trip on September 14 with Charles Wheeler as field assistant. Our first area was in Rockingham County in the north-central part of the state. we collected along the head waters of the Dan and Haw Rivers, where considering the extremely warm weather we collected a fair amount of specimens.
The latter part of September we moved southwest to Iredill and Catawba Counties. Most of our work was confined to the wooded bottom lands of the Catawba River.
On October 10 we moved west to Engelhard and collected in the low, flat and swampy sections of Hyde and Dare Counties. In this area one may find to an excellent country for deer and goose hunting.
