the Thoreau Log.

Ralph Waldo Emerson writes in his journal:

  I thought the Concord Society should meet & assign its business to Committees; thus—Mr.[William Ellery] Channing  presented a report on Baker Farm.

  Mr Thoreau a Report on Fort Pond, the Cromlech, & the remains of a swamp fort near the Pond.

  Mr E. called attention to the Ebbahubbard park.

  Miss E. Hoar presented a bunch of Linnaea Borealis found in Concord.

  Mr C read a paper on the foliaceous & spongelike formations by spring-thaw in the argillite of the Deep Cut in the Rail Road—& so forth.
