1837] JOURNAL— BOTANIZING IN GUERNSEY. 67 



across the country by La Hongue Bie and St. Saviour's Valley. In 

 the valley we gathered Stachys amhigua. 



Aug. 9. . . . Just before descending into the valley between 

 the Quenvais and La Haule we gathered Sinapis incana. 



Aug. 11. Left Jersey for Guernsey. St. Peter's Port is much 

 better situated than St. Heliers, having far better streets and very 

 steep flights of steps. We walked out in the evening and gathered 

 a good many plants. 



Aug. 12. Walked about the town. In the evening we crossed 

 the Island to Long Port, and noticed there Folygomim Eaii, Convol- 

 vulus Soldanella, Matthiola incana, etc. We followed the sandy coast 

 for a short distance towards Saline Bay, and returned by La For- 

 faiture and Friquer. Close to Long Port gathered Lepidium latifolium. 



Aug. 14. This day we followed the bay towards the north, 

 then crossed the island to Vale Church, passing over the Braye du 

 Valle (a marshy district), rounded the greater part of that end of 

 the island, and returned by St. Sampson's Church. On a slope 

 above G-rand Havre at a short distance beyond Vale Church we 

 found Lagurus ovatus, a little further on Polygonum Eaii and mariti- 

 mum. At about half-way to Mont Guet we found a leguminous 

 plant, which appears to be Arthrolobium ebradeatum. 



Aug. 15. Went through St. Andrews, and through various 

 lanes to the mill in Bay d'Icart. The lower part of this valley is 

 fine and mountainous in character. We then followed the coast, 

 which is very high and grand, having numerous deep, rocky inlets, 

 by Point d'Icart, and Petit Port to the Doyle Monument, and 

 thence home. 



A%ig. 17. We walked by Les Landec, Friquer, etc., to Saline 

 Bay. We crossed a number of low marshy meadows in the early 

 part of our walk, and found several plants. From Saline Bay we 

 followed the coast Grand Havre, on the western side of which we 

 found plenty of Lotus hispidus. We then went to the station of 

 Arthrolobium ebradeatum, i.e. a little hollow rather less than half- 

 way from Vale Church towards Mont Guet. After this we returned 

 home by the Braye du Valle and St. Sampson's Church. 



Attg. 19. Walked round below the Fort, and gathered Atriplex 

 erecta and Orobanche barbata. 



Aug. 20. Sunday. Met P. le Neve Foster at the church. 



Aug. 21. Went to Herm. We walked all round the island, 

 and gathered 192 species of plants, including Polygonum maritimum, 

 Euphorbia peplis, Atriplex rosea, etc. The island consists of little 

 more than one ridge of hill and a large sandy flat at the north end. 



Aug. 22. Gathered an Atriplex, probably undescribed, which I 

 have named stricta, in a potato field below the foot-road from the 

 beach to Fort George.
