1841] JOURNAL -FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. 109 



peculiarly fine, and a fine glen passes through them. Balfour found 

 Monotropa Hypopitys, and we saw Goodyera repens, Festioca Calamaria. 

 The glen is the deepest and narrowest ravine that I have ever seen, 

 •and well deserving, as are the woods, of a careful examination by 

 the botanist. 



Aug. 25. We walked over Culloden Moor to CuUoden House, 

 where we were kindly received by Mr. Forbes of Culloden, and 

 then went on to Inverness. We ascended the hill Craig Phadric, 

 •and examined the vitrified fort there. 



Aug. 26. Left Inverness by the " Duke of Wellington " coach 

 for Perth, by the Highland road, by Aviemore, Strathspey, Blair 

 Athol, Dunkeld. The station for Menziesia caerulea is upon the Sow 

 of Athol, at just the middle of the road between Dalwhinnie and 

 Dalnacardoch. The ruins at Dunkeld are left in good order, and 

 are very fine. 



Aug. 27. From Perth to Edinburgh by Kinross ; saw Burleigh 

 Castle and Loch Leven. Crossed the Queen's Ferry, and so reached 

 Edinburgh. 



Aug. 28. Again took up my quarters with my excellent friend, 

 Dr. J. H. Balfour. 



Aug. 29. Continued with Balfour till Tuesday, Oct. 5th ; 

 working at the second edition of the Botanical Society Catalogue, 

 the fourth and fifth Reports of the Society, the conclusion of the 

 first and the whole of the second part of the Transactions ; all of 

 which we completed. During that time dined with Mr. Roy, 

 J, Goodsir, Campbell, Greville. Campbell started for Demerara, 

 on Sept. 25th. 



Oct. 4. Balfour, J. Duncan, G. Paterson, Brand, Fred. Douglas, 

 Jos. Dickson, and I dined together at Mrs. Clark's Hotel, at New- 

 haven. 



Oct. 5. Left Edinburgh at 7 a.m. for England, and had a very 

 wet journey ; it rained heavily during the whole day until we got 

 within one stage of Newcastle. Went by way of Kelso. Reached 

 Darlington at 12.30 a.m., and started again by the railroad at 

 6.15 a.m., reaching Derby at 1 p.m. On the way from Edinburgh 

 it happened that Mr. Evans and William were upon the same coach, 

 and so we went on together, and I went with them to Allestree Hall. 



Oct. 7. The same three went to Yoxall Lodge. 



Oct. 11. Left Yoxall Lodge, and reached London in the evening, 



Oct. 12. Made arrangements with Bailli^re about the publications
