1842] JOURNAL— IN THE NORTH. 113 



July 5. We walked to Cronkley Fell, and found Tofieldia 

 pcUustris, Helianthemum canuni, Draba incana, Hieracium pulvionarium, 

 and amplexicauleCl). The day was most stormy, and very wet. 

 High Force very full of water, and fine. By High Force we found 

 'Crepis siiccisaefolia in plenty. 



Jidy 6. Went to Widdy Bank, and found Tofieldia palustris, 

 'Carex capillaris, Gentiana verna in fruit, Bartsia alpina, Kohresia 

 caricina, and several others ; thence to Falcon Glints, where we 

 found Woodsia ilvensis, Hieracium Lawsoni, and pidmonarium ; also 

 H. amplexicaule {1), etc. Crossed the bridge at Caldron Snout, 

 which was full of water, and extremely fine, then forded the Maize 

 Beck, after finding Saxifraga stellaris and Botrychium Lunaria, and 

 •crossed the boggy moor for several miles towards Mickle Fell, but 

 finding nothing returned over Cronkley, and descending at the 

 further end, found Epilohium alsinifolium in a spring head near the 

 bottom, far from the river. Returned over Cronkley Bridge. 



Jtdy 7. We went to Wynch Bridge, and found Hieracium 

 rigidum, Lawsoni, amplexicaule (1), and villosum (1). Also Thlaspi 

 'ttlpestre, Potentilla salisburgensis, etc. ; then to Holwick Scar (a fine 

 i)asaltic cliff", but too dry for plants), and returned on account of rain, 



July 8. The Messrs. Backhouse left. We went to Widdy 

 Bank and Falcon Clints, and found (on the basalt) some more 

 Woodsia, and also (on the limestone) at the lower end, Potentilla 

 salisburgensis. On our return we gathered, from a bend in the 

 little beck running into Langdon Beck, Potamogeton longifolius (?) 

 and in a bog near the turnpike road Epilobium- virgatum. 



Jidy 9. Went over Cronkley Bridge, and then to the top of 

 'Green Fell ; returned to the south side of High Force, and followed 

 the river to Wynch Bridge, but found very little, a few specimens 

 ■of Hieracia and Rosae. 



Jidy 10. In the afternoon walked down the road and up the 

 old one, where we gathered what may be the true Hieracium sylvati- 

 cwm. Hunted for Vaccinium idiginosum in a boggy place behind 

 Moon Rigg's house, where it is said to grow, but could not find it. 



July 12. Went up Ettersgill Beck to near its source. The 

 lower part is highly picturesque, although on a small scale, being a 

 succession of small waterfalls, and a winding ravine with rugged 

 oliffs. Found there Vicia sylvatica, Myrrhis odorata, and several 

 Eoses. Then crossed a succession of curious cavernous limestones 

 to the upper part of Langdon Beck, returning by the road. 



July 13. Walked to Barnard Castle; calling on the way upon 

 the Rev. Wilse Brown at Egglestone, and dining with him. Went 

 by coach to Durham. 



July 14. Winterbottom and I separated, he going south, and I 

 by way of Sunderland and the Brandling Railway, to Newcastle. 

 Took tea with Mr. Alder.
