1883] JOURNAL—CORNWALL. 239- 



Sept. 3. We recorded 100 plants. 



Sept. L This morning, Mr. Richards (Trin. Coll., Oxford) 

 shewed me Acanthus mollis, by a wall near Euan Minor, and told 

 me of two other very dubious places where it grows. 



Sept. 5. To Kynance Cove, and had tea there. The tide was 

 up, and the place most beautiful. 



Sept. 7. Mr. Cunnack came from Helston, and the Richards 

 and he took us to Caerleon Cove to see the Allium Bahingtonii 

 growing abundantly there, and also the Serpentine works. 



Sept. 8. We walked along the cliflFs towards Landewednack in 

 the morning. In the afternoon by the cliffs to Kennack Cove, where 

 there are fine sands, to join the Richards' at tea on the beach. Also 

 we were taken to the further division of the Cove to see Cyperus 

 langus in abundance, and on the way over the intervening ridge, 

 saw plenty of Busms aculeatus. 



Sept. 9. Sunday. Morning at Ruan Minor, evening at Grade, 

 Sermons at each church for Missions to Seamen. 



Sept. 10. Went to Ruan Minor, and St. Ruan. Mr. Richards 

 shewed us Verbascum virgatum in a field near his lodgings, near St. 

 Ruan. 



Sept. 11. We drove to Mullion, and the Cove. The church is 

 full of fine old wood carved seats. . . There is a small crucifix over 

 the west window in the tower. The cove is very beautiful. Brica 

 vagans is abundant by the wayside throughout most part of the 

 distance. 



Sept. 12. We called upon the rector, the Rev. Charles H. G. 

 Vivian, at his beautiful parsonage, St. Ruan. We then visited the 

 well of St. Ruan, with its curious stone covering. 



Sept. 13. We drove over Goonhilly Heath (where the Erica 

 vagans was still not over) to Helford, on the Helford river. We 

 there had tea at the house of a nice old lady named Cregoe, who 

 afterwards walked with us up the beautiful valley to the south of 

 the place. It was a most beautiful day. 



Sept. 15. Lunched with the rector, and met Canon Du Boulay. 



Sept. 18. We walked by the coast to Poltesco, over the fields to 

 Carger and Kennack Cove ; returned by the road. 



Sept. 20. We drove to Gunwalloe, saw the church close to the 

 sea, and then walked along the edge of the cliff by Poljew and 

 Polurrian Cove to Mullion. There was plenty of Scilla autumnalis 

 on the banks near the latter place. Had tea at the nice old inn, 

 and drove home.
