66 CHARLES CARDALE BABINGTON. [1837 



Erythraea litoralis. Dined at the little hamlet of St. Catherine, and 

 went in the car by St. Martin's Church to Boulay Bay, and by 

 Trinity Church home. 



Aug. 1. A very wet day, but in the evening we got as far as 

 the centre of the bay, and gathered the Allium sphaerocephalum and 

 Sinapis Cheiranthus. 



Aug. 2. Walked over the sands and up St. Peter's Valley, 

 which is very pretty. We followed the valley as far as the mill, at 

 which it forks, and then went up the right-hand fork. After that 

 we crossed the country to St. Laurence Church. Part of this 

 building is very old, Norman ; the rest, of the Tudor age. It is a 

 large church. We continued across the country to the Canton du 

 Mort al' Abbe, and returned by the road. 



Aug. 3. Went in a car to the Greve de Lecq by St. Mary's 

 Church. The valley descending to this little bay is very pretty, 

 being bounded by steep hills covered with Heath, Gorse, and Fern, 

 with a few trees in the hollows. The bay itself is very small, but 

 is enclosed by steep craggy rocks, which give it great beauty. But 

 the most beautiful spot is a small cove, called Les Demies, round 

 the eastern point of Greve de Lecq. It is quite shut in by lofty 

 precipices, with several towering pointed rocks rising from its 

 bottom to a great height. At Greve de Lecq we found Spergula 

 subulata and a Hieracium, of which I have not been able to deter- 

 mine the name. From this place we followed the coast, which is 

 lofty and very rocky, as far as St. John's Church, and then returned 

 by the road home. 



Aug. 4. We went to a rock in front of Fort Regent, just over 

 the landing place, and gathered numerous specimens of Scilla autum- 

 nalis, and several Atriplices, and Statice spathulata. 



Aug. 5. Went in a car up St. Peter's Valley to St. Ouen's 

 Church. Lingwood and I then walked to St. Ouen's Pond and 

 along the coast to Grosnez Cape. The rocks here are the grandest 

 that I have noticed in the island. On the north side of the old 

 castle there is a very deep, narrow crevice in the hill, the sides of 

 which are several hundred feet in height, and quite perpendicular. 

 We gathered the Cowslip on the slopes of the rocks near to the sea, 

 and also Aspleniuni marinum. We then walked along the sea-slopes 

 of the hills to Plemont Point and the Greve de Lecq, and returned 

 home in the car. 



Aug. 7. Called upon Mr. B. Saunders of the Caesarean Nursery, 

 who showed us a list that he had formed of the native plants of the 

 island, and allowed us to extract those names which did not occur 

 in our list. 



Aug. 8. We went in a car to Gorey, and then walked round 

 Anne Port to La Crete guard-house ; on the slope below which we 

 gathered Hypericum linariifolium (?) in great plenty. We returned
