Atig. 4. Party by steamer to Chepstow, rail to Newport, omni- 

 bus to Caerleon. Cold collation in the amphitheatre, given by the 

 Caerleon Archaeological Society. Walked from Caerleon to a church 

 upon the hill top (Christ Church), where there is a stone effigy, to 

 which miraculous virtues are, or were attributed. 



Aug. 6. Went to Wells to visit W. T. Collings. 



Aug. 7. In the morning I walked to Dulcot Church Hill, and 

 found a singular branching thistle, allied to Carduus acaulis. 

 (N.B. — Saw the same the next day at North Wootton, but cut 

 down.) In the afternoon went in the carriage to Glastonbury, and 

 visited the ruins of the abbey. 



Aug. 8. Walked alone by Worminster and North Wootton into 

 the East Sedgmoor ; returned by Lancherley Cross and Woodford. 

 In the evening went to a camp on the top of Mendip, and hunted 

 for a Roman road, but could not find it. 



Av^. 9. Walked alone to Wookey Hole and Ebber Rocks. 

 Went up through the latter, which is a miniature and very inferior 

 copy of Cheddar. In the afternoon by Castle to Lower Grodney ;. 

 returned over West Hay Moor, by Henton and Wookey. (N.B. — 

 This moor seems well worthy of more examination). 



Aug. 11, By coach to Bath. Bristol ; by coach to Chepstow to 

 spend a few days with Hort and his family at Hardwick House. 



Aug. 12. Looked about the grounds and the banks of the Wye 

 below them. In the evening went to Caldicot Castle, which is highly 

 interesting from its finished architecture, combined with strength ; 

 and Caerwent, where much of the Roman walls exist. 



Aug. 13. Visited the railway works, for the bridge over the 

 Wye. Went to the top of the Bannager Rock, then below the cliffs 

 opposite Piercefield, near Lancant. Along a footpath under the cliffs 

 to near Penmoyle. Back by road. 



Aug. 15. To Swansea. 



Aug. 16. By coach to Tenby, by Llanelly and Carmarthen. 



Aug. 18. Went to Giltar Head by the sands, on which I found 

 a Hieracium like umbellatum, but perhaps different. Did not see the 

 Asparagus at the Head. Along the cliffs to Lydstep Haven. 

 Returned by Whitewell and Trelloyan (an old ruined mansion) 

 and Holloway, where I saw Inula Selenium. 



Aug. 19. Took lodgings at Mr. Clark, the grocer's. . . . Went 

 to Scotsborough (a ruined mansion of no interest) and Gumfreston, 

 where there is a curious church. 



Aug. 20. Examined the marshes near Tenby, and found Eanun- 

 culus confusus. Followed the lane by the marsh side and up the 

 Ridgeway from Holloway. Returned by Penally and the Burrows,
