1875] JOURNAL— VARIOUS EXCURSIONS. 221 



July 23. An admirable discourse by Venables in the Cathedral. 

 Thunderstorm prevented our hearing Parker on the other buildings, 

 and the outside. At 9.30 we went to the Cathedral for some music. 

 The building was beautiful, in the very imperfect light of two or 

 three candles. 



July 24. To Westenhanger (old house), Lynne (the Roman 

 station), Hythe (the church), and lunch with the Mayor, and 

 Lyminge, where there are the remains of a seventh-century (?) 

 church on the south side of the present church. 



July 26. Excursion to Dover, etc. 



July 27. Left Canterbury. 



July 30. Cambridge, 



Aug. 2. Cromer. 



Aug. 6. Went with some of the party from Colne House to 

 the boggy common at Beeston, where we found a considerable 

 number of bog-plants, such as Farnassia, Epipadis palustris, Aimgcdlis 

 tenella, etc. 



Aug. 16. By way of Shrewsbury, to the Palace, Abergwili, 

 Carmarthen, for the meeting of the Cambrian Archaeological Asso- 

 ciation. 



Aug. 18. Had a very interesting day, and tolerably fine in the 

 country towards the Precilly mountains. We were chiefly occupied 

 with earthworks and stones. 



Aug. 20. To Kidwelly, to see the church and castle : to Llan- 

 dilo, to visit Dynevor Castle. 



Aug. 24. To St. Davids, with Barnwell, and the Rev. D. R. 

 Thomas, to stay with the Rev. James Allen, the Chancellor. Spent 

 all the afternoon in the study of the Cathedral and ruins. Much 

 progress has been made in the repairs of the former. 



Aug. 25. To St. David's Head, and carefully examined the 

 ancient stone fortifications, and circular foundations there. On the 

 way we saw four sculptured stones in the walls, near to each other; 

 one of them new. 



Aug. 26. We left St. Davids. 



Sept. 3. To Cromer. 



Sept. 9. Had a walk along the east shore with Mr. Joseph 

 Hoare and Canon Conway. We found the remains of a large tree 

 of the submarine forest. 



Sept. 10. Jani Alii came to stay with us. 



Sept. 15. Church Missionary Meeting in the evening. Dined 

 at Colne House for it. Jani Alii spoke very nicely.
