1837] a OURNAL— SUFFOLK. 61 



May 5. Went by the coach to A. Holmes', at St. Margaret's, 

 Southelmham. 



May 6. Holmes and I went to Halesworth (a small place), and 

 walked to Bramfield to look for Cyclamen. We could see no trace 

 of it, but gathered Lamium incisum at that place. 



May 7. Sunday. Holmes showed me at St. Peter's plenty of 

 the Aconitum napellus. It grows on the bank of two ditches, at 

 right angles to each other, which form two sides of a square space 

 in a field a short distance above the church, and upon the opposite 

 side of the road. 



May 9. We went by Flixton Church, and returned by Homers- 

 field. In a pit near the latter place we noticed plenty of Myosotis 

 versicolor, and near Flixton Hall Lamium incisum. 



May 10. Whitear and I walked to Harleston by the foot road 

 to Redenhall. We noticed by the side of the brook plenty of Allium 

 ursinum. Returned by Mendham Long Lane, and saw plenty of 

 Crocus vernus (of course out of flower) in a field on the right of the 

 lane near to Harleston. We also observed a single specimen of 

 Fritillaria Meleagris in a field called the Seven Acres on the left of 

 the lane. 



May 11. This day William Holmes Whitear was christened in 

 St. Margaret's Church. 



May 12. We went to Southwold, a small watering place on the 

 Suffolk coast, and noticed by the way plenty of Primus insititia, and 

 near to Henham Hall a profusion of Teesdalia nudicaulis. At South- 

 wold we gathered on the sands Ficia lathyro'ides, Cochlearia anglica, 

 and danica, a variety of Viola canina with very strong roots, and 

 Cerastium semidecandrum with a 4-partite structure. {Note. — They 

 bring salt-rock from Cheshire to this place to be dissolved in sea- 

 water, and then crystallized). 



May 13. I went to spend a few days with Whitear at Harleston. 

 We gathered in the wood at Gaudy Hall Viola hirtafl. alb. 



May 15. We walked by Shotford Bridge to Shotford gravel pit. 

 Hippuris in plenty near the bridge. In the pit Myosotis versicolor, 

 Carlina, Teesdalia nudicaulis, Lactuca virosa, Vicia angustifolia, and 

 lathyro'ides, Thlaspi arvense. Holmes brought from a field at St. 

 Margaret's Fritillaria, both coloured and white. 



May 16. I returned to Cambridge in company with the Revs. 

 Kirby, Cautley, and T. Chevallier. 



May 17. The Ray Club met at my rooms. 



May 24. We made a small party to botanize near Linton. 

 Found near Abington several specimens of Ophrys aranifera. Orchis 

 mascula was still in flower, and 0. morio in perfection. The " Bee " 

 and "Man" orchises were only just showing above the ground.
