208 CHARLES CARDALE BABINGTON. [1867—68 



Oct. 14. Went to Whittlesford, for Mr. G. N. Maynard to shew 

 me the station of Aristolochia Clemcditis. It grows in a garden and 

 hedge on the right-hand of the first road to the left of the road 

 leading to Mickle Moor. Went then to call at Pampisford Hall, 

 and walked home by Babraham and the Gogs. 



Nov. 21. We went to Kew, to visit Dr. and Mrs. Hooker, and 

 returned from them on the 25th. To Cambridge. 



1868. Jan. 28. Talbot Bury came to stop with us, about the 

 new St. Barnabas Church. 



Jan. 30. He and I went to Ely. 



April 23. Commenced my lectures. 



May 13. Walked with pupils up the Everton road, to Snow 

 Hill, by Bunker's Hill to Stratford and Sandy. Dined together at 

 the "Greyhound." 



June 3. To London, to Mr. Newmarch's, Clapham Common. 



June 10. I went with Mr. Newmarch to see the London Sewage 

 Manure Farm in Essex. Dined with Mr. Hope. Obtained in one 

 season 80 — 100 tons of Italian rye grass by the use of 5 — 6000 tons 

 of sewage, from a barren, gravelly soil. 



June 11. We attended the Palestine Fund Meeting at Willis' 

 Rooms. 



June 16. To York. Spent the evening with James Backhouse, 

 junr. 



June 17. Lunched with Canon Hey. 



June 18. We went by way of Thirsk to Ripon, and there took 

 a carriage to Studley Park, and walked through the grounds to 

 Fountains Abbey. The most remarkable part of the ruins is the 

 crypt, under what was the dormitory of the monks. The cathedral 

 at Ripon is small, but interesting, and of good architecture. We 

 saw Wilfrid's Needle under the church, the use of which is unknown. 

 Returned by Knaresborough. 



June 19. To Filey. 



June 22. It is remarkable that there are absolutely no maritime 

 plants on this coast : the crumbling clay of the hills seems to pre- 

 vent it. 



June 23. Went by steamer to Bridlington, passing close under 

 the cliffs of Flamborough Head. Visited the town of Bridlington 

 Quay. Walked by the coast to Flamborough, and to the little bay 

 called North Sea. 



June 25. Went to a little valley (Primrose Valley) to the south 

 of the town, half-a-mile or so, and found Geranium sanguineum 

 abundantly.
