angustissimus (?) on the hill behind that house. (N.B. — Helianthemum 

 guttatum is in plenty all along the hills near the coast, and Statice 

 plantaginea at Petit Port and St. Brelade's Bay.) We crossed the 

 sands home. 



July 21. This day we walked along the bay as far as the first 

 Martello Tower, then turned inland, and crossing the Canton du 

 Mont-Cochon, we ascended the St. Laurence Valley for some 

 distance. We returned by the sands. We gathered Sinapis 

 Cheiranthus in plenty in the first little ravine to the west of the 

 town, and noticed Lotus angustissimus in several places, also Sibthorpia 

 Eurqpaea in St. Laurence Valley. 



July 22. Bullock walked with us to La Hongue Bie, from 

 whence we had a splendid view over the whole island. We found 

 close to the town, on the road to St. Saviours, Mercurialis ambigua. 



July 23. Sunday. We walked in the evening to the Grave 

 d'Azette, and I gathered Bromus maximus to send to Sowerby. 



July 24. We went to La Haule, and were then joined by 

 W. Christy, who accompanied us to the Quenvais, etc. We went 

 up the lane by La Haule, and found Lotus angustissimus and Asplenium 

 lanceolatum. On the Quenvais in a gravel pit, we found Dianthis 

 prolifer, Bupleurum odontites, etc. We then crossed the Quenvais to 

 the south end of St. Ouen Bay, there we gathered Gnaphalium luteo- 

 album and Polygonum Raii. Following the sands near to the third 

 Martello, we found Euphorbia peplis, and at St. Ouen's Pond Scirpus 

 tenuiflorus, Neottia aestivalis, and Orchis laxiflora{1) Returning home 

 by St, Peters after passing a mill, we ascended a hill, and found 

 near to its summit a Linaria, much too far advanced to be decided, 

 but probably Pelisseriana. On our return home we gathered Sinapis 

 Cheiranthus and Allium sphaerocephalum to send to Sowerby. 



July 25. I gathered Mercurialis ambigua, and sent it to Sowerby 

 this morning together with Scirpus tenuifolius, Neottia aestivalis, Sinapis 

 Cheiranthus, and Allium sphaerocephalum. We went to Elizabeth 

 Castle in the evening, and gathered upon the hermitage Daucus 

 maritimus and Lavatera arborea. 



July 26. We walked to the marshes to the east of Fort Regent, 

 but did not find much. Saw Mercurialis ambigua near Longueville. 



July 27. We went in a car by Grouville to Mount Orgueil 

 Castle. We walked along the sands of Grouville Bay from Grou- 

 ville Castle to the Point. Gathered two or three grasses at Gorey, 

 and plenty of Mercurialis ambigua in the court of the castle, which 

 is now neglected. In the older part is a room which had not been 

 known to exist until a few years since ; it is now filled by stalactites. 

 A Lamium closely resembling intermedium grows in the castle. 

 From thence we walked along the shore of Anne Port and St, 

 Catherine's Bay. The shores are high and rocky. We gathered 

 Brachypodium sylvaticum, Vicia angustvfolia, Scilla autumnalis {"}), and
