match. The whole road was thronged with pedestrians, and persons 

 in carriages, or on horseback. Dinner in the Hall of Trinity, which 

 went off very well. 



July 15. Went to the Cattle and Implement Show at 6.30 a.m. 

 and returned to breakfast. In the afternoon went again. Much 

 pleased with many of the cattle, and also with the implements, some 

 of which showed great ingenuity. Dinner in the great temporary 

 building in the court of Downing College; at which 2600 were 

 present. 



July 16. Grand Horticultural Show in the building of Downing 

 College. 



July 29. Mr. Borrer, who arrived here yesterday, went with me 

 to Chesterton to gather the Ulva furfuracea, and to Cherry Hinton to- 

 get the Bunium Bulbocastamim. 



July 30. Left Cambridge by the "Star," and took up Mr. 

 Borrer at Royston. Went on the same evening by the Hereford 

 Mail, by the Western Railway, to Steventon, and then by way of 

 Oxford, Cheltenham, and Ledbury, reaching Lingwood's at Sufton 

 Court to breakfast on July 31. 



Aug. 6. Started on a trip down the river Wye. We went in 

 Lingwood's carriage to Ross, and then took boat for Monmouth, 

 visiting Goodrich Court and Castle by the way. The collection of 

 armour at the former is of great interest. The castle is a fine ruin, 

 and both it and the court are finely situated. Lower down the river, 

 Simmon's Yat is a place of great grandeur. 



Aug. 7. After sleeping at Monmouth, we went on by water to 

 Chepstow, stopping at Tintern by the way. 



Aug. 8. Returned to Sufton Court by way of Raglan, Mon- 

 mouth, and Ross. The road to Raglan commands some fine views ; 

 the castle is a grand and most interesting object. 



Aug. 10. Went to Abergavenny by the coach, 



Aug. 11. Ascended the Blorenge, and endeavoured to find 

 Teucrium regium, but did not succeed. Afterwards went to Llan- 

 thony Abbey, where the little inn kept by a person of the name of 

 Webb, is formed out of parts of the ruin in such a manner as not to 

 disfigure it at all. The ruins are in a very bad state, and not likely 

 to stand much longer. 



Aug. 12. Walked from Llanthony, up the valley and over the 

 Pass of the Black Mountains, to Hay, and then returned to Sufton 

 by car. 



Aug. 16. W. Baily, of Clare Hall, whom we had fallen in with 

 at Ross, upon our trip down the Wye, and who had accompanied 

 us upon that occasion as far as Simmon's Yat, came to Sufton.
