1837] JOUKNAL— LEICESTERSHIRE. 63 



near Birmingham, Mr, Walford, from London, and Mr, Greene, of 

 that neighbourhood, 



June 7, We went to Ampthill, and saw some peculiarly fine old 

 oaks in the park. Both Quercus rohur and Q. sessiliflora grow in 

 Ampthill Park, and are of a very great age, I noticed Fapaver 

 Argemone in cornfields near to Marston, 



June 10, I reached Yoxall Lodge, I noticed near the Lodge 



Genista anglica, Viola flavicornis, Orchis morio, and Myosotis versicolor, 

 all of them in plenty. 



June IL Sunday. Went to church at Walton-on-Trent, where 

 my uncle Gisborne preached two sermons in order to collect some 

 money for the new organ in that church, 



June 13. I gathered Larbrea uliginosa, Arenaria trinervis, Myosotis 

 sylvatica, Cardamine amara. 



June 14. Went by the Forest Church, descended the hill 

 through the wood, and returned home by Wood Mills. Found 

 near to the latter place Moenchia ereda. 



June 17. Left the Lodge and went to Thringstone to visit 

 M. D. Babington. 



June 18, Sunday. Went in the evening to Osgathorpe Church. 



June 19, Went to Grace Dieu and gathered Trifolium striatum. 



June 20, We went upon the Forest of Charnwood nearly to 

 the new monastery. Gathered Carex pilulifera and a curious state 

 of Banwiculus hederaceus floating upon deep water and very much 

 lengthened out, Mr, A, Bloxam dined at Thringstone, 



June 21, Went to Grace Dieu wood Near the forest 



gathered Alyssum calycinum. In an old road below the parsonage 

 at Thringstone we found Habenaria viridis in plenty, I also noticed 

 it near Grace Dieu wood, 



June 22. Went to the Leicester and Swannington Railway at 

 the latter place, and ascended the inclined plane, and walked along 

 the road nearly as far as Coalville, Returned by the fields and 

 gathered Sinapis arvensis var. retro, hirsuta in a cornfield, 



June 23. Walked by Pegg's Green Coalpit to Cloud- Wood, 

 near Breedon. This is a large wood, and deserving of more 

 attention than we were able to give it. We found, in a little 

 brook which passes under the tramway at a very short distance 

 from the Cloud-Wood lime works, a Hygrotus very much like 

 fluviatilis, and Haliplus elevatus. In a field near we gathered in 

 plenty Bromus racemosus, and on the banks of the tramway a Glyceria 

 allied to distans, and perhaps only a variety of that plant. 



June 24. Walked to the old reservoir and gathered Carex 

 pallescens.
