and at the bottom of the last hill before that Geranium pyrendicum. 

 At Southwold found Poa distans on the sands, Trifolium wnitlw- 

 podidides, a mealy variety of Frankenia levis, near Walberswick, and 

 several other things. Mr. Borrer returned to London by the 

 Yarmouth mail. 



June 22. Went to Mendham Bridge, where we borrowed a 

 boat, and went some way up the river Waveney, having some 

 difficulty to push through the weeds, consisting chiefly of Oenanthe 

 Phellandrium. We gathered a quantity of Potamogeton praelongv^ to 

 send to Sowerby for " Eng. Bot. Supplement." 



June 23. Walked to the marshes near Homersfield, and got 

 specimens of Ranunculus circinatus for Sowerby, to send with Pota- 

 mogeton praelongus. Dined at Mrs. Holmes', at Gaudy Hall, and met 

 Sir G, Crewe. 



June 29. Went in Holmes' carriage to Beccles, and then walked 

 to Yarmouth. By the way we noticed a fine Norman tower to the 

 Church of Gillingham; a very remarkable Saxon window in the 

 tower of Haddiscoe Church, and had much pleasure in inspecting 

 Burgh Castle. In Haddiscoe churchyard gathered a Ballota, pro- 

 bably rvderalis. We saw in the marshes near to St. Olave's bridge. 

 Althaea officinalis, and A'pium graveolens. On the heath near Calde- 

 cott Hall we gathered Datura Stramonium, and saw numerous 

 Natterjacks, and also Verhascum pulverulentum. 



June 30. Messrs. Paget called, but could not give us much 

 botanical information ; they directed us to Mr. Lowne, a pastrycook 

 in Broad Row, who directed us to several plants. We first crossed 

 the suspension bridge, and gathered Lotus tenuis in the marshes, and 

 then returned and went as far as Caister, and found there Callitriche 

 platycarpa, and on the sandhills Corynephorus canescens, Elymus 

 arenarius in flower. We then went to the South Denes, and at 

 about fifty yards from the west side of the Barracks, found plenty 

 of Trifolium suffocatum. Walked to Lowestoft, Crown Inn. 



July I. Found Urtica pillulifera in plenty under walls below the 

 hill on which the town stands. Examined the outlet of the new 

 harbour of Lake Lothing, and walked back to Beccles by way of 

 Kirkley, Carlton Colville, Mutford, Barnaby, and North Cove. At 

 Beccles, the carriage met us, and took us back to St. Margarets. 



July 3. Returned to Cambridge. 



July 8. Went to Cherry Hinton, and found the Bunium Bulho- 

 castanum in a corn field on the south side of the road to the hill, 

 going by the great chalk pit. 



July 13. Whitear and Henslow came into rooms near to me in 

 College, to attend the meeting of the Agricultural Society. 



July 14. Went to the Hills Road Turnpike to see a ploughing
