1838] J OTJRNAL— EDINBURGH AND BATH. 77 



Sept. 15. Called at Hooker's, he was not at home, but I found 

 W. Hooker. Left Glasgow, and reached Sir William Jardine's 

 Lodge at 1L30 p.m., having then a walk of half-a-mile to Jardine 

 Hall. 



Sept. 16. Sunday. Went to Applegarth Church. Mr. Selby of 

 Twizel and Mr. Bigge of Newcastle at the house. 



Sept. 17. We crossed the Annan, and walked over a large 

 extent of young woods and some bog land. Saw in a quarry of 

 new red sandstone some of the marks of the footsteps of extinct 

 animals. At least three species were to be distinguished. 



Sept. 18. In a moss near the hall we saw a greater quantity of 

 the fruit of Oxycoccus palustris than I had ever noticed before. We 

 then went over a number of wet fields full of the common Folygona, 

 and in one plenty of Galeopsis versicolor. We also examined a very 

 wet bog near the gate on the Glasgow road. 



Sept. 1 9. Went to a beautiful glen near to Mr. Johnston's house 

 at Eae Hills, and then crossed to Lockwood, the old castle of that 

 family. Here are some very fine old oak trees. 



Sept. 20. Walked over some hills beyond the Glasgow road. 



Sept. 21. Did not go far from home. 



Sept. 22. Worked with Mr. A. Goldie (the tutor) at the excava- 

 tion of the dungeon in the old castle. We sunk about eight feet, 

 and found nothing of interest. This is the place noticed by Sir 

 Walter Scott in the "Minstrelsy" as Spedlin's Castle. 



Sept. 23. Sunday. Applegarth Church. Started by the mail 

 at 11.45 p.m. for the South.

Oct. 8. Went with Broome to pay him a visit of a few days at 

 Eudloe Cottage. 



Oct. 9. Broome and I walked up the valley by Slaughterford 

 and Ford to Castlecombe, and returned by West Yatton and Biddle- 

 stone. Noticed Atropa at Slaughterford, and Sambucus ebulus between 

 that place and Ford. 



Oct. 10. We went to Chippenham, and joined Dr, Alexander ; 

 then went to Sandy Lane, and botanized in Shy Park and Bowood. 

 Returned by Bowdon, Laycock, and Corsham.

 careum. 



Oct. 13. There was a little snow to-day. 



Oct. 15. Walked with Mr. Flower to Wyck, and gathered a few 

 Ruhi. He shewed me the station of Gagea lutea.
