so CHARLES CARDALE BABINGTON. [1839 



July 9. Went to Haldon Hill to look for Elyna carycim, but 

 did not find it. Found Eriophorum pubescens at the bottom of a wet 

 hollow below the road. In the woody ravine, on the way to Chud- 

 leigh, grows Stellaria umbrosa, Potamogeton oblongus in plenty, and 

 also Callitriche platycarpa. Went in the evening to Okehampton (a 

 poor little place), but the castle (in ruins) is very fine. 



July 10. To Launceston, through a very fine country, having 

 fine views of the moor. The church is interesting, built of granite, 

 and each stone carved; an inscription (each letter upon a single 

 stone), runs round near the base. The castle is very fine. Pro- 

 ceeded to Camelford, and found the town full of lawyers, so went to 

 Trevenna near Tintagel. 



July 11. Hunted up Scutellaria hastifolia, supposed to be found 

 here by Mr. Borrer. Found Callitriche pedunculata and platycarpa ; 

 then to the sea-cliffs between Tintagel Church and the Castle, and 

 iound an Allium in great plenty, supposed to be ^. sibiricum. The 

 castle is interesting, many walls standing, although much has fallen 

 down with the cliffs. Found Pyrethrum maritimum and Daucus near 

 Carota, perhaps gingidium. Returned to Camelford, and gathered 

 by the river Senecio erraticus. 



July 12. The morning being fine we started (in a chaise) to 

 ascend Rough Tor, a very lofty hill of granite near Camelford. . . . 

 The hill is a fine one, and has a Logan on its top, which we did 

 not find. Gathered both Hymenophyllum tunbridgense and Wilsoni, 

 and Mr. Borrer found many good Lichens and Mosses. 



July 13. To Mitchell and Cubert, to see the old Church of 

 Peranzabuloe, which is very small and has one little window on the 

 south side of the altar. The arched doorway is destroyed. Another 

 church has been removed on account of the sands since this one was 

 deserted. The sandhills are very extensive, but produced nothing 

 of importance. On our onward road near Peran's Well, we found 

 Cicendia filiformis, and on a hill above it, three varieties of Euphrasia 

 officinalis which look very different, but vary; also Gnccphalium 

 dioicum. The country most uninteresting, being everywhere covered 

 with the barren rubbish from the mines. Through Redruth and 

 Camborne to Hayle (a rising place), and Penzance; having fine 

 views of the river and port near St. Ives, and the bay and Mount 

 of St. Michael's near Penzance. Reached Sancreed by 9 p.m. 



July 14. Sunday. At the parsonage of Sancreed, the living of 

 the Rev. H. Comyn, who kindly received us during our stay in this 

 part of the country. On the summit of a hill behind the church is, 

 what appears to me to be a large cromlech, and below it, on the hill- 

 side, is a small double circle of Druidical stones. 



July 15. Mr. Comyn drove us to Penzance, and we called upon 

 the Rev. H. Penneck, who showed to us (in some orchards at 

 Larriggan, between Penzance and Newlyn), Oxalis stricta. We do
