upon this pond. THIS boz Is bordered
with a large expanse OF cold wet woods,
ana the further side OF the pond 10
hcrdsred with a rocky. wooded hillside. So
fal as known this bog has never been
botanized. One member OF the committee
visited It recently and believes It worth
studying. There are other interesting
places to visit II members wish to do so
In preference TO the bogs.
Following the meeting. II any wish 10
DO so. tentative plans have been proposed
! for a weeks trip across the northern
border Of Vermont. giving most Of the
