 We examined the gravel pits close to the village, and at Rampart 

 Field, and obtained a few stone implements from them.

 stones. In the afternoon we met Sir C. Lyell and Mr. Prigg, of

 much success. Gathered at Icklingham Apera interrupta, Scleranthus 

 perennis, Silene conica, Veronica triphyllos, Medicago minima, Silene 

 otites.

 A very large number present. . . . The day was very hot, and we 

 did little more than ascend Caer Caradoc.

 quarry, on the right-hand of the lane leading to Berwick. The 

 place is just on entering the wood. We there found Bubus fissus
