and wooded rock of great antiquarian note, Llyn-y-Dinas, and Llyn 

 Gwynedd. Near the latter saw plenty of Hypericum dubium; the 

 distance to-day was about twenty-two miles. 



July 30. Went to Carnarvon. Took Holmes to see the Roman 

 city of Seguntum. 



Aug. 3. Started for Shrewsbury. 



Aug. 4. Took up my quarters at W. A. Leighton's, and walked 

 with him to Bomere Pool, and found Dianthus delMdes by the way. 

 Found there Typha angustifolia, Epipadis latifolia, and Scheuchzeria 

 palustris in seed. 



Aug. 6. Went by coach to Buttington (found near Buttington 

 Inula Selenium in plenty), on the Welshpool road, where we met 

 Lewis, of St. John's College, who went with us to ascend the Breidden 

 mountain. . . . Amongst some rocks near the beginning of the ascent 

 I found a single specimen of Potentilla rupestris in seed. On the 

 descent we found Galeopsis versicolor in plenty in some fields on the 

 way to Middletown china works. 



Aug. 8. We followed the banks of the canal to a place called 

 Uffington ; on our way saw Carex pseudo-cyperus, Lemna polyrrhiza, 

 Typha latifolia, Sagittaria sagittifoUa, Hydrocharis Morsus-ranae, Stachys 

 palustris, etc., in the canal, and on the banks near Tragopogon major (?) 

 and Lathyrus sylvestris. We then ascended Haughmond Hill, and 

 after walking about it, and finding a few plants, such as Anagallis 

 tenella, Scutellaria minor, etc., we descended to Haughmond Abbey, a 

 ruin, some parts of which are very fine. On the walls I found 

 Dianthus Caryophyllus.
