A climbing Capparis, with broad lanceolate leaves, had also large white showy blossoms; and a fine specimen of this plant was seen growing in the fork of an old box tree, about twelve or fifteen feet from the ground; it was in fruit, but unfortunately was not yet ripe.

There was also another species of the same genus, with yellow blossoms, in other respects very similar in appearance to the first.

The white cedar was still abundant.

When I returned to the camp, I found my companions busily engaged in straining the mud, which had remained in the water-hole after our horses and cattle had drunk and rolled in it.Messrs.Gilbert and Calvert had discovered a few quarts of water in the hollow stump of a tree; and Mr.Roper and Charley had driven the horses and cattle to another water-hole, about two miles off.

Our latitude was 24 degrees 16 minutes 9 seconds.
