1850] JOURNAL— BOTANIZING IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE. 15a 



Then visited a group of stones which once formed a cromlech (two 

 stones are standing, the rest is a mass of ruin), and so to the top 

 of the Wyck Rocks. Back by the Swainswick Valley to Bath. 



April 10. Dined with Mr. and Mrs. Hort at 14, Brock Street. 



April 13. Returned to Cambridge. 



April 27. Went with J. B. Wilson up the Hobson's Watercourse 

 to the Nine Wells. Found between the first and second bridges 

 beyond the Via Lambertina one mass of Chara pohjsperma. It was 

 in fructification. 



May 3. Hort and I went by the Hills Road to Shelford to 

 measure the camp there. 



May 4. Wilson and I went by Coton to Hardwick, and examined 

 the meadows and thickets at the head of the brook. 



May 9. The first meeting of the Cambridgeshire Naturalists^ 

 Club. Linton. Went through the meadows to Little Linton, then 

 to the Rivey. To Baitlow, and returned to Linton through the 

 meadows on the south side of the river. 



May 18. Hort and I went to Bottisham Fen. We examined 

 carefully the usual ground, hoping to find Viola stagnina, of which 

 we got none. 



May 21. The party to Gamlingay. A larger number than 

 usual, taking a coach and fly. Hort, Townsend, Lukis, and I went 

 by Everton and the Hasells, then over Sandy Heath to Snow Hill, 

 by Potton Mill to Gamlingay Heath and the brick clamp, and back 

 to the " Green Man." All the heaths are inclosed, and most parts 

 brought into cultivation. We found all the usual plants of the 

 district, and in the Gamlingay brick-clamp pits Chara syncarpa. 



June 5. I went with Adams, Reyner, Overton, and Cooper to 

 Bottisham Fen. We did not find many plants, but got plenty of 

 Viola stagnina, which had just commenced flowering. 



June 6. This was the meeting of the Cambridge Naturalists' 

 Club at Ramsey. The day was rather cold, and I spent most of 

 the time in trying to make out the Roman station on Bury Hill, 

 and in the examination of Bury Church. 



June 8. To St. Margarets, Southelmham, by rail to Norwich, 

 and coach to Bungay. Rev. E. A. Holmes. 



June 10, 11. Went with Holmes (rural dean) to visit the 

 churches in the Wangford Union. 



June 13. Walked by Flixton Hall and Homersfield. Trifolium 

 glomeratum grows on the slope of the hill at the latter, and Alsine 

 tenuifolia on the ruins of the chancel at the former. 



June 14. Visited some more churches near St. Margarets.
