1843] JOURNAL— IN THE LAKE COUNTRY. 119 



just below the bridge, on the north side, and near Stainforth Force, 

 found Hieracium prenantho'ides, Crepis succisaefolia, and Allium olera- 

 ceum. 



July 24. Tom Tatham (a lad) walked with me to Hesselden 

 Ghyll, where we found Ribes alpinum, R. petraeum, Saxifraga umbrosa 

 (particularly in a hollow a short distance up a lateral stream which 

 crosses the road at a cottage ; the plant seems not to be an escape, 

 and does not occur up the stream, even as far as the cottage), 

 Myrrhis odorata, Actaea spicata, and several others. On our way we 

 visited a fine waterfall, called Catterick Force, formed by a stream 

 joining the Kibble at Stainforth. We passed close under Pen-y-gent. 



July 25. T. Tatham guided me over the hills to Malham Cove 

 and Gordale Scar. Passed numerous calamine pits by the way, and 

 saw Malham Tarn at a distance. Found Thlaspi alpestre near the 

 calamine pits, and Polemonium caendeitm at the cove. Gordale Scar 

 is a fine, deep, rocky hollow. In the evening I met and was intro- 

 duced to Mr. Nuttall, the celebrated American botanist, now come 

 to live in England. 



July 26. Went to the ebbing-and-flowing well. Left Settle, and 

 reached Kendal by way of Kirkby Lonsdale. 



Jidy 27. Left Kendal, going by Ambleside to Keswick. The 

 day was fine, and the ride most interesting. Spent the evening 

 with Mr. Carl Voigt, from Vienna. Walked round the lake, seeing 

 Lodore Fall by the way. 



July 28. Went up Borrowdale, then over Gatesgarth Pass, 

 without finding Alchemilla conjunda, but plenty of A. alpina ; to 

 Buttermere, where it commenced raining. Returned in a car by 

 way of Newlands. 



July 29. A very wet day. Went to St. John's Vale. Found 

 by the road-side Thalidrum majus. 



July 30. Sunday. The new church built by Salvin, at the 

 expense of Mr. Marshall, is beautiful Early English. 



J^dy 31. To Wallow Crag. Got only Pyrola secunda. Saw 

 Mr. C. H. Wright, the botanist, here ; he gave me several plants. 



A^lg. 1. Again wet. Went with Wright, and got Epipadis 

 media in a wood by Kendal road ; also to Portinscale, to see the 

 station of an unknown Boragineous plant. 



Aug. 2. Left Keswick by coach, by way of Cockermouth and 

 Wigton to Carlisle, and rail to Newcastle. 



Aug. 3. To Durham by the Brandling railway. Took up my 

 quarters at Mr. Gisborne's house. Found Walter Gisborne there ; 

 we walked to Finchale Abbey, beautifully situated on the banks of 

 the Wear. The ruins shew curiously the alteration of casing 

 Norman pillars, and converting the style into Early English.
