Friday._ There was a Concord man once who had a foxhound named Burgoyne. He called him Bug_īne_. A good name.[189] _May 31._ _Pedestrium solatium in apricis locis; nodosa._[190] V JUNE, 1851 (ÆT. 33) _June 3. Tuesday._ Lectured in Worcester last Saturday, and walked to _As-_ or _Has_nebumskit Hill in Paxton the next day. Said to be the highest land in Worcester County except Wachusett. Met Mr. Blake, Brown, Chamberlin, Hinsdale, Miss Butman (?), Wyman, Conant. Returned to Boston yesterday. Conversed with John Downes, who is connected with the Coast Survey, is printing tables for astronomical, geodesic, and other uses. He tells me that he once saw the common sucker in numbers piling up stones as big as his fist (like the piles which I have seen), taking them up or moving them with their mouths. Dr. Harris suggests that the mountain cranberry which I saw at Ktaadn was the _Vaccinium Vitis-Idæa_, cow-berry, because it was edible and not the _Uva-Ursi_, or bear-berry, which we have in Concord. Saw the _Uvularia perfoliata_, perfoliate bellwort, in Worcester near the hill; an abundance of mountain laurel on the hills, now budded to blossom and the fresh lighter growth contrasting with the dark green; an abundance of very large checkerberries, or partridge-berries, as Bigelow calls them, on Hasnebumskit. Sugar maples about there. A very extensive view, but the western view not so much wilder as I expected. See Barre, about fifteen miles off, and Rutland, etc., etc. Not so much forest as in our neighborhood; high, swelling hills, but less shade for the walker. The hills are green, the soil springier; and it is written that water is more easily obtained on the hill than in the valleys. Saw a Scotch fir, the pine so valued for tar and naval uses in the north of Europe.
