the Thoreau Log.
21 April 1858. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  George Melvin says that Joshua Haynes once saw a perch depositing her spawn and the male following behind and devouring it! . . .

  The puddles have dried off along the road and left thick deposits or water-lines of the dark-purple anthers of the elm, coloring the ground like sawdust . . .

  P.M.—To Easterbrooks’s and Bateman’s Pond . . .

(Journal, 10:379-380)
