I could not get out again until nearly 4 P.M. Went to [[?Baughn's]] grove (at brickyard) and collected plants in the woods, and also in the [[scafy?]] boggy places on banks. Also picked up a few land shells. Was out with Ed White.
Also recorded weeds in a cornfield & along the roadsides.

Went to bed after midnight.
