130 CHARLES CARDALE BABINGTON. [184& 



Aug. 19. Went to dinner at Bonally, the country house of Lord 

 Cockburn (a judge), the father of our companion in the Highlands. 



Aug. 22. Dined with Dr. and Mrs. G. Patterson. 



Aug. 23. Walked with Evans, the Curator of the Botanical 

 Society's Museum, to the Braid Hills and Morton Hall. In the 

 woods at the latter saw Hieracium sabaudum. On our return we 

 visited Craig Millar Castle. 



Aug. 28. Walked to Cramond, and examined the wood upwards 

 on the western side of the river. Saw plenty of Hieracium sabaudum 

 and Scrophdaria Ehrharti, also by the water a Bubus with very long 

 prostrate, sulcate, and not rooting shoots. Returned over the old 

 bridge and along the old road, much nearer to the shore than the 

 new one, and much prettier. 



Aug. 30. Went by the railway to Linlithgow. The church 

 plain but interesting. A curious carved tablet found under the 

 pavement some years since, and kept carefully in a case. The 

 palace highly interesting, and the walls in a very perfect state. 

 Walked by the road and through a rather woody country to Winch- 

 burgh, near to which there is the ruin of a fine feudal tower. 

 Returned from Winchburgh by railway. 



Sept. 1. Went to Berwick by coach to spend a few days with 

 Dr. Johnston, 



Sept. 2. Drove to Wooler in the evening. 



Sept. 3. Ascended the College river as far as the foot of Cheviot 

 to a cottage named Dunsdale, where we met the members of the 

 Berwickshire Naturalists' Club. We then went up a ravine in the 

 mountain, in which I found a Foa, probably Balfourii, in plenty. 

 On the top of the hill we got Cornus suecica and many other Alpine 

 plants. Returned in the evening by Ford to Berwick. 



Sept. 5. Left Berwick by coach for Newcastle at 3 p.m. Went on 

 by the railway to London, where I arrived the next day (Sept. 6th) 

 at 1 p.m., and got to Cambridge at 5 p.m. the same day. 



Sept. 8. Left Cambridge at 4 p.m. 



Sept. 9. Went to Winchester by 7 a.m. train. Lodgings with 

 J. J. Smith and J. Anthony at Butts', 49, High Street, during the 

 week of the meeting of the Archaeological Association. 



Sept. 10. Party at the deanery in the evening. Everyone there. 



Sept. 11. To Romsey to see the beautiful Norman church. 



Sept. 12. To Porchester to see the Roman and Norman castle 

 and Norman church. 



Sept. 14. Walked to St. Cross with Sharp and others. 



Sep)t. 15. After the General Meeting of the Archaeological 

 Institute went to Gosport and Ryde to Dr. T. B. Salter's.
