186 CHARLES CARDALE BABINGTON. [1857 



Aug. 11. Newbould, Stratton, and I went in a dog-cart to 

 Upware (Cambridgeshire Naturalists' Club), and took a man named 

 Vipon (?) into Wicken Fen, where he shewed us a single plant, with 

 two stems, of Senecio pahidosus. It is amongst the sedge, not far 

 from the drain next Upware. After dinner we went by Harrison's 

 Drove to Reche, and then by road through the two Swaflfhams and 

 Bottisham to Cambridge. We went to the edge of the fen-land at 

 SwafFham Bulbeck, but found nothing of interest. 



Aug. 14. To London. Dined with Lankester. 



Aug. 15. To Ross, where I met Barnwell and Chapman, and 

 went to Monmouth with them by car. We lodged together during 

 the meeting of the Cambrian Archaeological Association. 



Aug. 17. In the afternoon I walked along the tramway on the 

 eastern side of the river by Redbrook to Cherry Orchard, looking 

 for Eubus imhricatus, but am far from being sure of having found it. 



Aug. 18. Went with the party to Trelleck and Tintern,

 Briavels, etc. 



Aug. 20. Raglan Castle, where we were received by the Caerleon

Aug. 21. Grosmont Castle, etc. Lingwood met us there. 



Aug. 22. Went across the country by White Castle to Aber- 

 gavenny, thence by rail to Rhyl, Denbighshire. Rhyl is a horrid 

 place, no shade, no trees ; all sand. 



Aug. 24—26. To Ruthin, to visit Barnwell. To Dublin, for the 

 meeting of the British Association. 



Aug. 27. Dined with the Lord Mayor.

 Chairman. 



Sept. 2. British Association Meeting ended. Breakfasted with 

 Jukes. Dined in the College Hall with Harvey. 



Sept. 3. Aran Excursion. A party of about sixty-five went in 

 the steamer from Galway. We saw all that was in the plan, but not 

 exactly in that order, on the first two days. I saw no plants of 

 interest, all limestone species, except Allmni Bahingtonii, growing in 

 the crevices of the limestone on Inishmaan Island, where it was
