1844] JOURNAL— BOTANIZING IN SCOTLAND. 125 



English Church, a spring strongly charged with iron, and three 

 large monumental stones. Thence to Monmouth. Between Tintern 

 and Trellech there is a large peat bog where turf is cut for fuel. 

 From Monmouth by car to Lyston. 



July 12. To Aconbury Chapel and Hill. 



July 15. To Bath. 



July 26. To Warrington. 



July 27. Spent the morning with W. Wilson at Orford Mount. 

 Ling wood joined me, and by railway to Liverpool, and by "Princess" 

 steamer to Glasgow. 



July 29. Dined with Balfour. 



July 30. We went to the Inverarnon Inn by steamer on Loch 

 Lomond. Balfour and three students joined us. 



July 31. Walked to Killin and the Lochy Inn, which was 

 head quarters. Through Glen Falloch and Glen Docharb. Fine 

 country, and good day. 



Aug. 1. Went up the Glen of Lochy, and ascended Mael 

 Ghyrdy, where we got Carex pulla (good), Juncus castaneus, J. higlu- 

 mis, and many other plants on the east side of the mountain in a 

 wet hollow, by which we descended to a road opening at the bridge 

 in the Glen Lochy. 



Aug. 2. By car to Ben Lawers Inn, then ascended the mountain 

 over a ridge next to the inn, descended into the hollow, and found 

 Fhletim alpimim, and an Eriophorum with a round stem which may 

 be Don's E. capitatum. View very fine from the top. Near the crater 

 found Saxifraga cernua, and Myosotis suaveolens, and Draba rupestris. 

 On several parts of the hill found Arenaria rubella, Spergula saginoides, 

 Cherleria sedoides, Sibbaldia, etc. Descended by Ben Lassie, and 

 found on the cliffs passed in reaching it, Gentiana nivalis, Myosotis in 

 plenty, and Balfour says, Saxifraga cernua. By mistake did not 

 visit Craig-na-Gat which is on the opposite side of the lake from 

 Ben Lawers, near some rock upon the south-east arm of the hill 

 where Saxifraga rivularis grows. 



Aug. 3. Ascended Craig Challaich, and Ben-y-Cruchbein. On 

 the latter, Balfour got lots of Poa Balfourii, and I saw a few upon 

 the former. Also Arenaria rubella, etc. Lingwood left us to go to 

 the north with Mr. Boddenham. 



Aug. 4. Visited the MacNab burying ground, and saw the 

 supposed natural graft on a Scotch Fir, but considered it to be a 

 mistake, and caused by the fracture of a branch near its origin, 

 which shot out an upright shoot from near that spot, and then closed 

 the wound caused by the fracture. Also visited Finlarig Castle, and 

 the burying place of the Breadalbane family.
