1856—57] JOURNAL— CAMBS. NATURALISTS' CLUB TRIPS. 185 



Sept. 23. Jones and I traced the Roman Way from the point 

 where the Westbury and Shirehampton roads divide, through the 

 reservoir on the Down, leaving the mark of the city boundary a 

 very little to the right, crossing the Shirehampton road at a very 

 acute angle, to the tree opposite the back gate of Durdham Lodge. 



Sept 24. Returned to Cambridge. Did not sleep from home 

 during the whole winter. 



1857. June 2. Stratton and I went to West Wratting. Took 

 a walk through the fields towards Weston Colville. In Hall Wood 

 we found the fly Orchis, and several others. After an early dinner 

 we went to Hildersham, and examined the Furze Hills, where we 

 found Aceras anthropophmu and Hi/pochaeris macidata (in bud) ; we 

 also hunted unsuccessfully near Hildersham for the Spider Orchis. 



June 9. Cambridgeshire Naturalists' Club trip to Swavesey. 

 Newbould, Hiley, Carter, and I were present. We went to Swavesey 

 Church, then by a lane and footpath to Fenny Drayton, along the 

 side of the great drain to the Ouse near Holywell, descended the 

 river-side for about mile-and-a-half, and returned to Swavesey. 

 Went to Over Church, and returned home. Found no plants of 

 note. The churches at Swavesey and Over very fine and interesting. 

 Fenny Drayton Church is also good. 



June 11. Hiley and I went to Haslingfield. Found Aceras in 

 chalk-pit. Saw two or three specimens of Eanunculus hirsutus at 

 Barton, on our return, in the old place under the hedge. 



June 16. Hiley and I went by train to Whittlesford Station. 

 Walked by Triplow and Newton, and Hauxton home. Found in 

 the lane leading from the railway bridge near Meggott's Mount to 

 Hauxton, plenty of Eanunculus Drouetii in the ditch on the left-hand 

 side of the way. 



June 22. W. H. Purchas of Ross came here on his way from 

 Durham, and had rooms in College. 



June 23. He, Newbould, Hiley, Stratton, and I went by train 

 to Waterbech, and then walked to Upware, and went to Wicken 

 Fen. Found Viola stagnina, etc. 



June 24. Purchas, Hiley, and I walked by Hills Road, and 

 returned by Wool Street and Cherry Hinton Chalk Pits. Found 

 Hypochaeris maculata in the old chalk pit, on Three Trees Hill. 



June 26. Purchas and I went to see Newbould at Toft. Walked 

 by the fields to Caldecot Church, by lane to Kingston Church, and 

 then back to Toft. 



July 14. Cambridgeshire Naturalists' Club. Went by rail to 

 Foxton, and then walked to Barrington. Newbould, Watson, 

 Gibson, Clarke, and I were present, also Mr. Barrett as a visitor. 

 . . . We visited the chalk range near Fox-hole Down together.
