 Stanton, and nearly to Rampton; returning by Cuckoo Lane

Sept. \. Stratton and I went by rail to Wimblington. We 

 went into Doddington Wood, then through Doddington (where the 

 very neat gardens before the peasants' houses surprised us as 

 containing new and rare plants) to the Turf Fen, and by Carter's 

 Bridge to Chatteris ; returning by rail from there. Doddington 

 Wood is a place that promises much at an earlier time of the year. 

 Also the Turf Fen is likely to prove rich in June. In a field to the 

 right of the road, at a short distance beyond Carter's Bridge, on the 

 way to Chatteris, we found Chenopodium ficifoUum, Atriplex erecta, 

 and A. deltdidm.

 Junction to Hull for the meeting of the British Association.
