found there Lotus tenuis, Rotthoellia incurvata, Allium carinatum, and 

 Lepidium ruderale. We then turned inland to Stoke Bishop. On 

 our way we gathered Centaurea nigrescens and Allium oleraceum. 



Aug. 24. Botanized on St. Vincent's rocks and gathered Veronica 

 hyhrida. 



Aug. 26. To-day we went upon a botanical excursion. We 

 started from Miller's garden and examined the rocks, finding 

 Helianthemiim tomentosum, Veronica hybrida, Trinia glaherrima, Petro- 

 selinum sativum, etc. We also noticed a Ulex Avhich appears to be 

 new. Mr. Forbes said that it exactly resembles U. provincialis of 

 the south of France. We proceeded down the river to Sea Mills 

 and then turned inland, and were most hospitably received by 

 Mrs. Fisher at Hillside, not far from Blaize Castle. After seeing 

 the fine wooded vale under the castle we returned home. 



Aug. 27. Saw the first stone laid of the suspension bridge over 

 the Avon at Clifton. Breakfasted with the trustees of it. 



Aug. 29. Walked out by the river side and through part of 

 Leigh woods. Took tea in the evening with Forbes. 



Aug. 30. We met at Mr. Miller's garden for a botanical party. 

 Crossing the river we ascended to the lioman camp, and then kept 

 along the upper part of the hills for some distance, finding in the 

 woods a form of Euphrasia apparently not noticed by English 

 authors, perhaps E. nemoralis. Followed the river to Pill, near 

 which we saAv a very fine and old tree of Tilia Parviflora. Mr. 

 Bright, a gentleman who has a fine place there, gave us refresh- 

 ments. Saw several beautiful trees in his grounds, particularly a 

 magnolia of large size. Below Pill we observed two fine yew trees 

 in a churchyard and gathered Senecio barbariaefolius. (?) We soon 

 reached Portishead, near which I gathered Althaea officinalis. 



Aug. 31. Left Bristol and reached Bath. 



Sept. 3. Went to Farleigh Down, and found Solanum dulcamara 

 var. hirsuta. Called on my way back upon Mr. Fowler. 



Sept. 7. Went to Bristol by the coach and then walked back in 

 order to see the works for the Great Western Railway. Followed 

 the line of it from Brislington to Saltford, and was much pleased 

 with the beauty of the country by the side of the river. In a wood 

 about a mile west of Keynsham, close to the river, and exactly on 

 the line of the railroad, I found plenty of Polygonum dumetorum, and 

 in a ditch crossed by the footpath from Corston to Newton Bridge 

 I saw Zannichellia. 



Sept. 10. Went to Coombe Down and found there (naturalized) 

 Centranthus ruber. 



Sept. 14. Went to Keynsham and gathered another stock of 

 Polygonum dumetorum, then crossed the river and walked by the 

 fields, passing the end of the Gloucestershire coal railroad, to
