1847] JOURNAL— BOTANIZING IN WALES. 141 



hear Willis' Lecture on the Cathedral. Botanized in the neighbour- 

 hood before and after, and returned to Cambridge. 



Aug. 9. Left Cambridge with Newbould, by Avay of Thrapston 

 by coach, then rail to Blisvvorth and Birmingham, and then by coach 

 to Shrewsbury, where we arrived at 9.30 p.m. 



Atig. 10. Breakfasted and spent the day with Leighton. We 

 went to Bomere, and found Scheuchzeria palustris in the old place. 



Aug. 11. By coach to Capel Curig. Met Wollaston at Cerrig- 

 y-druidion on his return from Wales. Examined the rounded hill 

 opposite to the turn to Capel Curig from the main road to see if we 

 could find Cotoneaster, said by Kingsley of Sidney to grow there, but 

 could find nothing like it, except a Salix. Do not believe that it 

 grows there, as it is not a likely place for it. 



Aug. 13. Early this morning we took a car to Llanberis, 

 intending to put up at the "Vaynol Arms," but found that the 

 old keepers of that house had gone to America. We went to 

 the Dolbadarn Inn, and found excellent quarters. Immediately 

 after we arrived we started for the lower parts of Snowdon. We 

 examined the whole range of the lower and middle part of Clogwyn- 

 ddur-Arddft, and found Lloyclia serotina at the base, near the lower 

 end of the great hollow, in a very accessible place. I crossed the 

 hill above Bwlch-y-cwmbrwynog to see what the country was 

 beyond. Returned along the west side of Cwmbrwynog under 

 Moel-y-cynghorion. 



Aug. 14. Went to Bwlch-y-cwmbrwynog, and descended to 

 Llyn-fFynnon-y-Gwas. Went round the hollow under Y-Wyddfa 

 by Llyn Glas, Llyn Goch, and Llyn-y-nadroeth ; then up Llechog, 

 and over Bwlch-y-main to the summit of Snowdon, returning home 

 by the usual route from the summit. 



Aug. 15. Sunday. Took a quiet walk round the lower lake. 

 Went to church in the club room, and after dinner walked up the 

 lake as far as the bridge near to the church. 



Aug. 16. Spent the day in the lower grounds examining Ruhi, 

 etc. We went by the old road, which passes at some distance above 

 the lake on the hill side, as far as Bryn Gwyn, then joined the 

 turnpike road, and examined the marshes at Cwm-y-Glo, where we 

 found Isoetes, Subularia, Alisma natans, etc., returning by the north- 

 east side of the lake. Far the best view of Snowdon is from that 

 side of the lake. 



Aug. 18. Went up to Llyn-y-cwm, in a thick cloud on the 

 mountain ; we saw Twll Dhu to great advantage, both from above 

 and below. I gathered one fruited plant of Lloydia a little before 

 reaching the lower opening of Twll Dhii. 



Aug. 19. We went up to Glydr Vawr, ascending to the top of 

 Esgair Felen (?) along it to the summit, on to Glydr Vach, near to
