1832] JODENAL— WELSH TOUR. 13 



slate quarries, and found one additional specimen of Polemonium 

 caeruleum. 



July 18. Went through the pass and examined the descent on 

 the other side, but found little. Holmes found under a rock a 

 specimen of Lycopodium selago with long procumbent stems. At 

 about a mile beyond the junction of the Beddgelert and Llanberis 

 roads to Capel Curig we found plenty of Campanula hederacea in 

 beautiful flower near a small stream. On the way back examined 

 the rocks on the north side of the lower end of the pass, particularly 

 Craig-ddii, and I found a few specimens of Asplenium septentrionale. 



July 19. Ascended Snowdon. Went up behind the church, 

 and arriving at the top turned towards the left and descended into 

 a hollow under Crib-y-Distill, and worked the rocks near two little 

 pools in the hollow, one of them called, I think, Ffynnon frig. 

 We then ascended a precipice near to Crib Coch and found, after 

 we had gone some way, that we could not return, so were obliged 

 to go to the top of it. In it we found Polygonum viviparum and 

 Draba incana, both in very small quantity. The place to which we 

 came on the top of the precipice was a grassy ridge between Crib 

 Coch and Crib-y-Distill. For some time we could not find a way 

 from it, but at last, after some hard climbing, we attained the 

 summit of the mountain and returned home. 



July 20. Did not start soon on account of the number of plants 

 wanting to be looked over. Went down the road by the lakes, and 

 found in the lower, Scirpus lacustris, Lobelia Dortmanna, Alisma natans, 

 and Myriophyllum spicatum in plenty. Also found near the bridge, 

 below the lakes, in the river, Iso'etes lacustris, Pilularia globulifera, 

 Carex vesicaria. 



July 21. Started early and went up Snowdon to examine 

 another part of Clogwyn-y-Garnedd. When we arrived at the 

 top of the ridge, Bwlch Glas, met with a Mr. Eyton (late of St. 

 John's College) who was collecting insects. We then set to work 

 at Clogwyn-y-Garnedd, and I found one specimen of Carex atrata 

 and Holmes one of Epilohium alsinifolium. (?) We found about 

 thirty specimens of Saxifraga nivalis in Clogwyn-y-Garnedd, and 

 one a short distance up the first ascent behind the church at 

 Llanberis. 



July 23. Started to walk to Dolgelly to see Cader Idris. Went 

 by the Capel Curig coach as far as the top of the pass, and met with 

 Mr. D. Williams, agent for Sir K Bulkeley. ... He put us into a 

 track over the mountains to Festiniog, but the track not being at 

 all well marked we nearly lost our way, and had it not been for the 

 map and my compass seal, we must have turned back, but with the 

 assistance of these we at length found our way to that part of the 

 vale near Llyn Cwmorthin. The road, or rather way, for path 

 there is none, was very wild and dreary, but the prospects from
