72 CHARLES CARDALE BABINGTON. [1838 



June 12. Wet. It clearing up in the afternoon, I walked out 

 near the town, and found Orobanche minor in a field on the top of 

 the hill near the first tower ; also in the same field 0. caernlea not 

 quite come into flower. 



June 13. Went by St. Aubins to the centre of St. Brelade's 

 Bay, then followed the coast by Port la Fret, Portelet Bay, and 

 Noirmont Point back to St. Aubins. Hypericum linariifolium in 

 great plenty on all the dry hill-tops of this coast. Gathered a 

 curious state of Callitriche pedunculata in a pond near Noirmont 

 Point. On my return home I found, near St. Peter's Marsh, on 

 the waste land by the road side, a Eanuncuhis which appears to be 

 new, and which I have named E. caespitosus. 



June 14. Wet. In the evening went as far as St. Peter's 

 Marsh, and determined (from riper fruit) that my supposed new 

 Ranunculus was only B. hirsutus. Found E. parviflorus on the bank 

 near the windmill. 



June 16. Went to the marshes near the Greve d'Azette, and 

 round by Longueville home. Gathered several plants which I had 

 not noticed before in the island. 



June 19. Went up St. Peter's Valley to the station for Linaria 

 Pelisseriana, and across the sands to St. Ouen's Bay, returning by 

 the St. Peter's Barracks. Saw plenty of Hypericum linariifolium in 

 several places, particularly St. Peter's Valley. 



June 20. A very wet morning, and therefore remained at home 

 and did much work. 



June 21. Went up St. Saviour's Valley and gathered MespUus 

 germanica there. 



June 22. To Guernsey. Took up my quarters again at 

 Mr. Pulsford's, 18, Haviland Street. 



June 23. Went by St. Sampsons and the Braye du Valle to 

 Vale Church. Found, on a rocky hillock south of the fishpond, 

 Silene 5-vulnera in plenty. 



June 24. Sunday. Met Mr. W. Lukis at church, and went with 

 him to his father's house, to whom he introduced me. I walked 

 after dinner to the Fort and gathered Orobanche barbata at the 

 Clarence Battery, growing upon ivy. 



June 25. W. Lukis and I went to Vazon Bay and found plenty 

 of Potamogeton plantagineus in the Grand Mare. We returned by 

 Grand Cobo. Dined with Mr. Lukis and spent a very pleasant 

 evening looking at his large collection of Celts, and other Druidical 

 remains, and also his Natural History collections. 



June 26. Walked to St. Martins and Jerbourg Point, returning 

 round the coast by Termain Bay and the Artillery Barracks. On a 

 nearly inaccessible cliff" a little to the south of the latter, there is an 

 Allium, probably Ampeloprasum, in great plenty.
