*%4 Plants observed during a Tour 



^^d^^p^.^m^ were numerous, but of the same 

 species as those we had met with in the commencement of our 

 ascent. Having reached the Pass of Llanberis, we parted, 

 my companions returning to Capel Curig, while I followed' 

 my party to Llanberis. We however agreed, if the following 

 clay proved fine, to meet again for the purpose of ascending 

 Glyder. In the evening, I walked to the junction of the two 

 lakes of Llanberis, to look for ^lisma natans, but was unsuc- 

 cessful. On docks, by the roadside, I took abundance of 

 Chrysomela raphani. 



BSW Jptid l&i Pi Wyrertfiine morning having succeeded the rain, 

 1 met my entomological friends at the entrance of the Pass 

 of Llanberis, and from thence we commenced the ascent of 

 Glyder. On the grassy slopes immediately after leaving the 

 road, we gathered a single specimen of Habenaria albida, 

 ind took a number of insects. Carabus glabratus and 

 irvensis, Cychrus rostratus, E'later cupreus, A'tropa cervina, 

 with several tfylphidae, were not uncommon. Among the

 gramma crispa was growing in much greater abundance 

 than we had observed it on Snowdon. The rocks just below 

 the summit are covered with Juniperus nana, on which we 

 looked in vain for Chrysomela cerealis ; my friend, Mr. Wilson 

 of Warrington, having several years since taken a specimen 

 on this spot.* Being obliged to return to Llanberis, in 

 order to proceed with my party to Carnarvon, I was reluc- 

 tantly obliged to leave my entomological friends, and descend 

 the mountain. In my way down, I noticed in a little rill a 

 Caltha (C. minor ?) somewhat resembling C. radicans, but with- 

 out the almost triangular leaves which distinguish that species, 

 if species it be. A root which I brought away is living in my 

 garden, and retains its habit, being very much smaller in all

 to walk round the town before dark, and on a wall by the 

 water side I noticed a single specimen of Koniga maritima 

 (^lfssum maritimum Willd.) ; but it had undoubtedly escaped 

 from a garden, as has been the case in the situations in which I 

 have seeri it; on the banks of the. Thames, and as I believe to 

 be the case in all recorded British stations.

 observed no plants of particular rarity. The banks and walls 

 by the road side were covered with iepidium Smithn, Fn-

 they discovered Chrysomela cerealis, of which they took eight or ten 

 specimens ; ^or one of which I am indebted to their kindness.
