CLINTON – September 1864 |

[1864.] Sept. 1. A.M. Went to head of
Rattlesnake Channel & collected Scirpus Torreyi. 10*25' P.M. started for Utica, did not take a
berth. [Rattlesnake Channel is that between Rattlesnake
Island and the mainland opposite lower Grand Island in the Tonawanda Channel
of the Niagara River. This island no longer exists. [1864.] Sept. 2. 6 A.M. arrived at Utica. Went
immediately to Dr. Paine's house. John A. Paine, Jr. all alone, the maid having
gone off to pick hops at $1.00 a day. In an incredibly brief time he got up a
nice breakfast, coffee, bread & butter, boiled corn, potatoes, eggs,
& boiled mutton. He packed up a glorious lunch & then got a horse
& buggy at Butterfield's livery, opposite Bagg's Hotel. His heavy
waterproof boots not being mended, he took a pair of waterproofs, as it
turned out, for me!! and waded & walked on the old Mendon
Turnpike & went 7 miles towards Jerusalem, to Whetmore's Tavern &
stopped & went to swamp about 1/4 mile back of the Tavern. In the woody
side of it, at one end, grows Carex folliculata, & in the marsh, limosa
& v. Painei, pauciflora, & the Scheuchzeria. The limosa seems to be
common in all these swamps. The Abies nigra in & on the edges of the
swamp, & the alba in the wood. Platanthera blephariglottis &
Eriophorum vaginatum also grow here. Woodwardia virginiana abundant, also
Nemopanthes. Kept on the Turnpike until we just entered Jerusalem, then short
to the right, then first road to the left, and to left, 1/2 ‑ 1 mile to near
what Paine likens to a pit ‑(it looks circular & pit‑like from the hills ‑
tied by some bass [barn?] in right side of the road, & went to this
swamp. Like the first, it is Sphagnous. It contains C. livida &
chordorhiza, Lonicera oblongifolia, Triglochin elatum (this also found in
next marsh) and two or three Rhynchosporas, alba, capillacea and a much
smaller more mossy looking one = cup'a var. [=capillacea Torr.?] Kept right
on, up the hill, about 1 mile, to a Mr. Townsend's on the tip of the hill, he
has a club foot, the road here grassy from fence to fence, put horse into his
stable on the right, his houses (the old one & the new) on the left. Went
by his house, across lots, to the swamp Paine calls the hidden pond, not
Sphagnum, turned to the right on entering it, & a little way down, at the
roots of the tamaracks, grew the doubled Pogonias (ophioglossoides) which he
found, & which Gray was so struck with. In the middle, a more watery part
of this marsh, Paine found the Scirpus pauciflorus, & also a longer
Scirpus, which he thinks, Gray will decide to be subterminalis, depauperata
(=S. subt's var. terrestris). Here also grow Cladium & the Rhynchosporas,
including the small one, &, in the bog holes along the fence running
across the marsh, Utricularia gibba, and near the edge, a small Eleocharis.
Towards the head, in the open marsh, C. pseudo‑cyperus. A Muhlenbergia
(probably glomerata) abundant in this marsh, and also [... ink blot] in the
others. Carex chordorhiza also in it. In this & the last. A Lobelia,
seems intermediate Kalmii & Nuttallii, (= Kalmii) Kept on, turned to the
right, down the hill, & then turned to the left & kept straight on
through Cedar Pond (village) up the hill about 1 mile to a house on the left
side of the road by Smith's Pond (which is hidden from the road, tied, walked
by the house over top of the knoll, & to the Pond, shore marshy, on the
wet marsh, found Selaginella apus. Walked to the boat house, then turned to
the right, & walked perhaps 1/2 mile, round the pond, & there C.
flava was exceedingly abundant, & so was Carex Crawei. Turned round &
drove just through Cedar Pond village, & then turned to the left, &
passed up a valley, along a great swamp, the waters of which run south, for a
mile & more, when, without any remarkable ascent, we came upon a brooklet
running northerly & emptying (Paine says) into Sh... [GL? @CANT READ]
Creek. Along it & the road side, Paine says, C. Schweinitzii abundant,
but he found it too late, and along the ditch by the swamp, soon after
passing Cedar Lake, he noticed from the Stage in which he was travelling,
"a remarkable Juncus." This road, which was quite level, brought us
into the Menden Turnpike, some miles south of Wetmore's Tavern. Drove along
it, into Utica. Got there in time to take a bowl of bread & milk with
Paine, got into the 10 P.M. train for Buffalo, where I arrived at about 6
A.M. Note. All
the Carices mentioned above (except C. pseudocyperus) had passed. Collected a
box full of Cladium, Scirpus (but pauciflora, that had passed) Cladium, &
one thing or another, & also grabbed some seeds for Day's Sphagnum. In
all these swamps, a Solidago, of which I took a specimen. [Triglochin maritimum var. elatum (T. elatum
Nutt. in Gray "grows in cold and fresh bogs, from W. New York to
Wisconsin ..." p. 437. Triglochin maritimum L. grew in "Salt
marshes along the coast; salt springs, Salina, New York; shore of the Great
Lakes, and northward" (p. 437, Gray 1962.). Cedar Pond village is
probably Cedar Lake.] [1864.] Sept. 6. Tuesday. A.M. Scattered the
seeds of Carex folliculata in the marshy copse at the upper end of Day's
Sphagnum, nearest carriage road into Forest Lawn, & seeds of other marsh
plants, collected last week near Utica, in the more open marshy ground
adjoining the copse westerly. The whole of this marsh & the marsh of the
grove beautiful with Pedicularis lanceolata, Lobelia siphilitica, Aster
novaeangliae now flowering and Solidago Muhlenbergii & ulmifolia, which,
apparently runs into altissima. The petals of Epilobium palustre v. lineare
(?) as well as those of E. coloratum, are cleft. In swamp of the Grove, near
hill side, found Cuscuta Gronovii in bigger masses than any specimen of C.
compacta I have rec'dt [@abbrev. rec'dt = received? recognized?]. Gathered
various flowers &c. including Chelone glabra. In the lower part of Day's
Sphagnum, Rudbeckia lacininata abundant, but long passed. P.M. Off Little Bay of
Strawberry, with George, caught a small mess of small perch. Botanized on
head of the Island. A very bushy thistle not yet in flower, leafy to the
head, leaves broader & not so cut as the common one, which I take to be
Cirsium discolor. Once more strongly persuaded that Gentiana detonsa & G.
crinita are one. Both here are bushy, & have the deep blue color of C.
crininta. Sorghum nutans & Andropogon furcatus both on the head of the
Island. Parnassia canadensis, whitens the ground. [1864.] Sept. 7. Received letter from Dr.
Engelmann, dated 3d, stating that the Cuscuta from Youngstown (Aug. 29 supra)
is his C. inflexa, formerly called by him coryli, & called by him, in
Gray's manual, C. umbrosa, Bayrich.
Looked at Silliman's Journal. Gray is out with Scirpus Clintonii. P.M.
Rowed round Squaw, Smuggler's Creek closed by 3 logs. Walked on the Island
& collected somethings, nothing new. The small headed, slender stemmed,
late flowering Juncus, seems to be all of shoots from thicker, broken stalks.
Surely I have collected it earlier unbroken, preserving all its
characteristics. Got one flower of Hibiscus moscheutos, & next morning,
found a humble bee in it. I identified, to my satisfation, for the first
time, Sinapis nigra. Evening, found Grote at the Room.']. [The Room of the Buffalo Society of Natural
Sciences; Augustus Grote.] [1864.] Sept. 9. Walked, on State Line R. R. to Smoke's Creek &
back, after dinner. The hoe has passed over the whole track, and the Sida
spinosa & Physalis ungulata at the cattle station are destroyed. Glad to
see a plant of Xanthium spinosum peeping from under it. Polygonum acre &
incarnatum seem as common as any of our Polygonums, Gaura biennis has made
its appearance on the right hand bank of the R. R., between the bend of the
Creek and the switch. The right hand of the r. r. by the dark wood, after
passing Marilla Street, beautified, in spots, by Gentiana Andrewsii and
Spiranthes cernua in flower. The Coreopsis I discovered last year extends
now, in the ditches, beyond the dark wood. Day having questioned whether it
be not the aristosa, reexamined it, & am confirmed in the opinion that it
is the trichosperma. (Evening, received by Lieutenant Hatch, he sending it to
the house by his brother, a small package of plants from Miss Mary H. Clark,
for examination.) [This passage is excellent to orient oneself to
the situation at the Lake Shore Bridge over the Buffalo Creek.] [1864.] Sept. 10. With Day, crossed at Waterloo.
From grounds of the house, formerly owned & occupied by William H. [A?]
Thomson, by the millrite [sp?], took specimen of what Day says is Symphoricarpos
vulgaris (!) passed flowering. In the village below, took a specimen of what
Day thinks Nicotiana rusticana (!) from a single plant growing, apparently
spontaneously, in the garden, by the fence, by & below the first tavern
or grocery above the ferry. Walked up the railroad to the junction, took 2
specimens Solanum carolinense. A little beyond, right side of the track, 3 or
4 quite immature Blitum capitatum. Took first cross road to right, & kept
along edge of woods & crossed another cross road, &, in the edge of a
grovelet Day showed me his Lonicera Tatarica & I took 2 of the 3 leafy
sprigs thereof. Struck across the fields &c., to the r.r., walked up to
the wood opposite Roses' Point, through the wood to the beach, & up the
beach to Windmill Point. On the rocky point above found Rhynchospora
capillacea. Returned by the beach, and, being too late for the Ferry at
Waterloo, took the Lake Huron Car, on the boat, at 8*40' P.M. On the way down the beach found
Day's Ptelea, not on the bank of the creeklet where he located it, but 20 ‑
40 rods below, on the top & edge of the sand bank. Beach.
Abutilon Avicennae, in scattered plants, noticed here & there on the
beach, not far from houses, Chenopodium anthelmiticum not abundant.
Chenopodium botrys common, Calamintha nuttallii beautiful with mats of
rooting runners. Cakile occurs here & there. Polygonum aviculare, growing
on the sand, assumes a singular growth, took some, also specimen of Vitis
cordifolia in blue fruit. Also Naias flexilis, plant very short. Also the
Tricuspis, & Cyperus diandrus, C. filiculmis, & C. Schweinitzii, and
also divers specimens of Cyperus with yellow spikes, often small, in patches,
differing in size &c., none bulb‑bearing, but am afraid it is all
strigosus. Day found 3 little Lycoperdon ? (puff ball) stiped, & I
brought them home. [It is a curiosity how infrequent Lonicera
tatarica was at this time, whereas now it is almost ubiquitous in parks,
residences and other areas adjacent to horticultural activity.] [1864.] Sept. 12. Took 2 P.M. train to Suspension Bridge. Walked back to the
Falls & in my way, stopped at John T. Bush's (the old Buchanan Place).
Mr. B. wife & Florence absent, at the East, & Mr. & Ms. Ford in
possession) reclaimed the packet of paper left there July 21, with plants
collected at Devil's Hole. In it
leaves of an Uvularia, which, at the time, I thought might be U. perfoliata.
About 1/2 way down the American stair, & then took path under the cliff,
descended, went to & ascended the cliff below the stairs & so entered
the stairway & up. Collected some Gentiana detonsa &c. walked to Cataract Hotel & chatted a
little while with Mr. Gerauld & Peter B. Porter. The latter reminded me that, when I was at
Black Rock, in the Spring of 1826, with Professor Eaton & his scholars,
Major Donald Fraser showed in Fort Erie that among the things he showed in
the battery in the wood he, Hane Johnson & others took & told in that
they had rat tail files to spike the cannon, that Johnson & another each
spiked one, & that, having lost his file (he received his wound in this
affair) he thrust in his (pistol?) ramrod & twisted it off. That the 2 cannon were lying there at the
time, that I took my (geological) cold chisel & hammered & found that
the spiking of one of the three was soft metal & so verified the Major's
story, very much to his delight. Scattered some seed of Alyssum calycinum on
the sides of the road by the Judge Porter place, in the Cataract Hotel Side,
& also, some distance up, on the river side of the road running by the
river. Observed Abutilon avicennae,
as a weed in a garden. Collected two or three weeds. Home by the 6*15' train. [1864.] Sept. 13. A.M. After chambers, took
street car to Virginia & walked up Main to North St. The Silybrum &
the Nigella have disappeared from the old garden on the E. side of Main below
Allen St. Found there, some Delphinium consolida, &, in the next vacant
lot above, two specimens of Ipomoea purpurea. On the corner lot of North St.
& Linwood Avenue, opposite Ascension Church, found Cyperus strigosus,
large & in goodish condition. At Judge Masten's took 1 specimen of Salvia
splendens. Miss Masten told me that they had had it for several years, &
raised it solely from slips. On examination, satisfied that this Mexican
don't mature his seeds with us. Called on Mr. Warren Bryant opposite. Mr. B.
having told me he had a tree there with two large red flower buds on it. The
tree is Magnolia acuminata in fruit. On the old burying ground, corner of
North & Rogers St. Euphorbia cyparissias and on the low ground, Gentiana
crinita, abundant. On Rogers St.? to Edward St. No Panicum Xalapense? I have
now visited all the fields in which I found it last year, & it has wholly
disappeared. Along Edward to Main, where I took a street car home. Brought
home a head of Bidens frondosa, & find the achenia are not bristly
upwards, but bristly downwards, at least on the awns & the upper part of
the achenia. Enclosed the achenia to Gray. P. M. Street car to Cold
Spring, walked to Grove, and, in the entrance thereto, beyond the barn,
principally on the left hand side of the carriage road, up to & on the
edge of the pond, & about the old lime kiln, scattered some of the seeds
of Alyssum Calycinum I got at Brock's Monument, and scattered the rest in the
two old quarries in the field of Dr. White's grove, west side of Main, beyond
the Turnpike gate. In that grove took leaves of 3 & acorns of 2 species
of oak. Vilfa vaginaeflora common, find it by the road side, & at the
further quarry. Quere Gray says Naias minor has not yet been
recognized in this country. Now we
have first the Naias I collected last year, abundant & often quite
branching & long, second a Naias? growing in small tufts without any
apparent stems, on a sandy bottom, with more grass‑like though shortish
leaves. Have collected a little of it by Strawberry Island, and on the
Canadian side in walking down the shores from Windmill Point, with Day, on
the 10th instant. Mem. Collect especially No. 2. [Note street car line on Main Street.] [1864.] Sept. 15. Before breakfast, walked along
the Terrace 6th Street, around in front of the Penitentiary to Niagara St.
& so home. Nil. Stopped at Howland's, & took from his garden,
Hibiscus Trionum, a Scabiosa (?) 1 specimen, with simple leaves, the fruit of
what Day told me was Clematis virginiana, & the first has no tail,
only a persistent & featherless style, (Day says that Gray wrote him that
it is C. viticolor a Fraxinus,
probably F. excelsior, a small bluish Funkia (?), and Veronica
noveboracensis, without any awn or appendage to the seales of the involucre. [Wood has Funkia ovata, Spr. as the Blue Day‑lily.
Gray's Manual of 1862, under Hemerocallis, "The White and Blue Day‑Lillies
of the gardens are species of Funkia, a very different genus. P. 468.] [1864.] Sept. 17. Had a boat drawn over the Dam, & examined Black Rock Harbor,
nearly up to the Ferry, for water weeds and mud weeds. Nil. [The Ferry was the Buffalo and Lake Huron railroad
ferry at the southern end of the stone pier.] [1864.] Sept. 21. Took 2 1/2 P.M. stage for
Springville. Took supper at Bu..'s [illegible] Mill, and a John got up first & took off my hat,
by mistake. I, perforce, took his. Think he got the worst of it, as mine was
a shocking bad hat. Reached Springville at about 9 1/2, and very kindly
entertained by Pliny Smith. He lives alone with his wife. His son, Orville,
keeps store in the Village, & has a very nice wife. Hiram Smith, who,
formerly, kept the Franklin House in Buffalo, married Pliny's sister &
they now live opposite him. The old lady says that, in 1832, she rode in the
stage with me & one of the Wilkesons (probably Bill) from Buffalo to
Canandaigua, that she, being timid, going down what seemed to her a bad hill,
inquired whether accidents did not happen there, that Wilkeson, to frighten
her, said "Yes Ma'm. The other night, the stage broke down and an old
woman was torn all to pieces." Wherepon she replied "The doctors have
put her together, again, Sir! I suppose." She seems proud of this. Col.
Cook (cousin of .....[?]) married P.S.'s sister, and they are one of the
principal inhabitants. Mr. Smith tells me his daughter, Mrs. Reed, a widow,
lives, with her boy, in the Genessee Block in Buffalo, and is fond of botany.
She cannot live in Springville, loses her voice there. Some ...ctual [illegible] affection, perhaps. I
promised to call on her. Mr. Smith tells me that he is credibly informed that
the tobacco‑worm has made its appearance in this county. Also that he, &
one of his neighbors, observed, this year, for the first time, a large worm
which attacks the tomato ‑ as I understood him ‑ both leaf and fruit. He had
killed all he says, & we looked for one in vain. [1864.] Sept. 22. Strolled, observed a large‑flowered
Oenothera, probably nothing but the biennis, but took specimen. Went to the
Fairground & thence walked over to the famous Spring. Nil.
Returning, on dry hill side, found & took specimen of Botrychium
lunarioides, quite small. In the grove north of the Fairground, found &
took a Muhlenbergia probably the same I found last year, in Canada below the
Suspension Bridge. Delivered the Agl.
[= Agricultural address between 1 & 2 P.M. Then strolled across the
fields south of the Fairground to the road, found a very little of an erect
Muhlenbergia which, I think, I had not collected before. Across the road
& fields to the Creek, & across it into a deep wood, Nil. Up
the hill, on its side, Botrychium lunar[ioides]. Through the wood to the
road, & so back to the village. After tea strolled about the creek
&c., nil. The leaf of what I have taken for Helenium autumnale is very
different from the narrow leaved one I collected at the Falls. May not it,
our common one be Leptopoda? In the evening, P.S. &
wife, & myself, called on his son, Orville. While we were there. Abbey,
aged a little over 21, and Amelia Kelly aged 15, a nice looking couple, came
in alone, & were married by P.S., he being a J. P., and then they started
off, as the bridegroom said, "for the spree" at the Tavern. [In Gray's 1862 Manual there is a Leptopoda
brachypoda Torrey & A. Gray "Damp soil, from Illinois
southward." (p. 224). There is no reference to this species in Clinton's
Botanical Index.] [1864.] Sept. 23. After breakfast, P.S. drove
me, in his buggy, to the top of Jackman's hill, 12‑13 miles from Springville.
From Springville to Ellicottville, 18 miles. I walked on. In spring fed
ditches by the road side, found Callitriche verna? ‑ yes, in flower &
fruit, & took specimen of it, also a Callitriche with narrow leaves,
coming to the surface & there presenting a star. This was not in flower
nor fruit, & I found the other growing from the same root. Took specimen
of both and, on my return home, inclosed some to Dr. Engelmann. Reached
Ellicottville at about 1 A.M. Walked on to Salmon Porter's at the foot of
Rock City Hill, 10 miles from Ellicottville, got there about 4 P.M. &
slept there. On that hill side too, Botrychium lunarioides. While I was
gathering it & lying in the great bed of moss, Mr. Porter came along,
with a skunk he & his dog Curley had killed. Says he is going to try out
the oil, that it is good for a great many things. A mile or two south of
Ellicottville, by roadside, found one plant of Blitum capitatum, too old
& withered, but took it. [Oct. 1 below "Received Engelmann's letter
of Sept. 29, deciding that the Callitriche collected Sept. 23d, is the true
C. verna ...".] [1864.] Sept. 24. It thundered & rained very
hard in the night. After breakfast walked up to & through Rock City.
Nothing new but Aster acuminatus. Found Ilex monticola in ripe berry. Rained
pretty much all the morning, but cleared off at about 1 o'clock. Reached
Salamanca a little after 11 A.M. Dined. On the hillside, collected some of
the white flowered Gentiana Andrewsii, also Archangelica hirsuta, a Cuscuta,
probably Gronovii, = is the C. inflexa. Saw some Baptisia tinctoria ‑ took
some of the seed. Took train at about 4 P.M. Missed ( by falling into a nap)
the train at Dunkirk and so had to take 3 A.M. train & got home on Sunday
the 25th, at about 4 1/2 A.M. [Oct. 1 below "Received Engelmann's letter
of Sept. 29, deciding that ... the Cuscuta collected at Salamanca on the
24th, is Cuscuta inflexa."] [1864.] Sept. 25. Sunday. Mailed to Engelmann
the Cuscuta found at Salamanca, & also the Callitriche found on the 23d.
In the evening, Dr. G. W. Robbins called & we talked over the plants he
sent me from Lake Superior. He had some from Niagara Falls, and had found, at
the Sawmill about 1/2 mile above the Village, Azolla caroliniana, a
Sagittaria, with somewhat awned fruit & a very narrow leaf, which he
thinks may be new, but which looks what I call heterophylla, and, at Geneva,
a Myriophyllum in fruit. Gave me specimen of all three. He leaves tomorrow
morning for his home. As to the Glycyrrhiza lepidota, on the shore, above
Fort Erie, he suggested that the seed vessels may have been brought there on
buffalo skins, at an early day, says that he has seen them on buffalo skins. [Oct. 1 below "Received Engelmann's letter
of Sept. 29, deciding that the Callitriche collected Sept. 23d, is the true
C. verna ...".] [1864.] Sept. 26. Monday. Rev. L. Holzer of
Rochester called in the evening, & brought me some plants, principally therefrom,
also Bolton's work, on the Fungi of Halifax, in German, 3 vols. 1795, a gift
from him to the Society. Introduced him to Day. [Halifax was not in Nova Scotia but rather
Yorkshire in northern England. James Bolton (1750‑1799) An History of Fungusses
growing about Halifax 4 vol. translated into German (1795‑1820), the first
three volumes by Willdenow and the last volume, apparently not part of
Holzer's gift, and a supplement to the first three, translated by Nees von
Esenbeck and his son T. nees von Esenbeck. Bolton was a self‑taught
naturalist specializing in natural history illustration work. As with many
contemporary and subsequent mycological works, the primary interest of these
volumes is in the quality of their illustrations, allowing the student to
recognize the fungus from the picture, as in works by Nees von Esenbeck and
James Sowerby, with a legacy in New York in Mary Banning's mushroom
illustrations and to some extent Mary Wilson. Ms. Wilson apparently came to
curate the early botanical collections of the Buffalo Society of Natural
Sciences and was a protege of Clinton's, much like Charles Peck, botanist for
the New York State collections in Albany, New York, who was a modern and
technical taxonomist. Cook, Rita, 1996. A Celebration of the Work of James
Bolton of Halifax. Fungus.org.uk website:
http://fungus.org.uk/nwfg/jbevtxt.txt, seen April 24, 2003.] [1864.] Sept. 27th & 28th. A. M. engaged
with Mr. Holzer & Mr. Day in selecting specimens from my duplicates, for
Mr. H. 28th. 5*45' P.M. Took train, with mother & Minnie, &
accompanied them to Syracuse on their way to New York. Slept at The Syracuse
House. [Note how long the women would be away ‑ for
months!] [1864.] Sept. 29th. Street car to Salina &
went into the marsh following left bank of a stream to the Lake. Collected
Scirpus marit's [= maritimus] & lacustris. The Chenopod which Gray
thought might be Chenopodium rubrum (Blitum maritima), Leptochloa
fascicularis, Panicum proliferum, a very small Cyperus, & a single specimen
of Polygonum aviculare, which looks queer. Crossed the stream & walked up
along the Lake to Liverpool, in a stream near Liverpool, found a waterweed,
branching, with serrate leaves, looking like a fucus = Naias Major. Crossed
the canal at Liverpool, & walked back, on Plank Road to Salina. On the
road a large flowered & large leaved white Malva moschata, took one
specimen. At Salina, in flat field east of the canal, took specimen of the
Salicornia, & also of a Juncus, probably tenuis, but looks odd (= J.
bulbosa). Collected, also, some Atriplex and Chenopodium glaucum. Commenced
raining before I reached the street car, & rained all day. Dined at
Syracuse, & took 2*5' train to Buffalo. [This passage is listed under
"Liverpool","Salina" and "Syracuse" in
Clinton's Miscellaneous Index. The Lake is Onondaga Lake and Liverpool is
right near its shore. "The Erie Canal extends E. and W. through near the
center of the [Onondaga] co. The Oswego Canal extends from the Erie at
Syracuse, N. through Salina and Clay, to Lake Ontario at Oswego."
(French 1860, p. 475). French also mentions that at Syracuse "The
several canals and railroads that terminate at or pass through [Syracuse]
give to it important commercial advantages." (p. 488). ] [1864.] Sept. 31. Friday. Mailed specimen of the
Leptochloa, Panicum, and waterweed, collected yesterday, to Gray, & also
to Mr. Holzer. |
