Remarks

[“June 30. Monday. A.M. – To Middleborough ponds in the new town of Lakeville . . . Borrowed Robert’s boat, shaped like a pumpkin-seed, for we wished to paddle on Great Quitticus [Great Quittacas Pond]. We landed and lunched on Haskell’s [Great] Island, which contains some twenty-five or thirty acres. . . At one end of Haskell’s Island was apparently a piece of primitive wood, - beech, hemlock, etc. Under the first I found some low, dry brown plants, perhaps beech-drops . . . but saw none of this year.” Journal 8: 395-396. 1856]
