1885] JOURNAL— OXFORDSHIRE AND SCOTLAND. 245 



June 30. We drove to the foot of the hill on the way to Mea- 

 thop; soon afterwards Avalked down a lane (where we found Fly 

 Orchis), and across two fields to an extensive peat moss, where peat 

 is cut for fuel, here grows Vaccinium oxycoccos, V. Myrtillus, Andro- 

 meda, Brosera anglica, Lastrea uliginosa. We passed out of it at the 

 north-west corner into the road from Meathop to Lindale, and so 

 home. 



July 1. Found what is perhaps Sderochloa Borreri on the shore ; 

 also Zannichellia in the ornamental water. 



July 2. Home safely again. 



July 4. To Sandford Park, to Mrs. Guest. 



July 6. Drove to Woodstock and Blenheim ; found the house 

 nearly empty, and very little of it shewn ; in a dismantled condi- 

 tion. Very much pleased with the so-called gardens and woods, 

 although all in a very bad state. The trees are very fine, and 

 various. Some magnificent beeches. 



July 7. To Great Tew, where there is a beautiful monument by 

 Chantry to Mrs. Boulton, in the church. 



Aug. 6. We joined an interesting excursion of the Cambridge 

 Antiquarian Society to Crowland and Thorney. 



Aug. 25. To Carlisle. 



Aug. 26. By Stirling to Killin. 



Aug. 27. We botanized about Killin. Found 77 plants. 



Aug. 28. Up Glen Lochay, nearly as far as the Falls. We found 

 a great many more plants. 



Aug. 29. We botanized on the hill called Monomore. In the 

 afternoon we went along the road on the south side of the lake, as 

 far as the bay into which the second stream falls, after passing 

 Achmore Woods. We had tea in a cottage a little before that bay 

 is reached. 



Aiig. 30. Sunday. Had two excellent sermons from Mr. 

 Macdonald, of the Free Church. 



Aug. 31. We went by the steamer to Taymouth, and saw the 

 beautiful grounds of the Castle. The day was fine, and the voyage 

 there and back delightful. 



Sept. 1. We drove up Glen Lochay, as far as the schoolhouse, 

 a little above Dalgirdy. We had a very nice tea at the farm, 

 TuUich, after we had dismissed the carriage. We then walked 

 down the Glen home. Mr. Macdonald gave us a very valuable 

 address in the Killin Free Church Schoolhouse in the evening. 



Sept. 2. Mr. Haggert, of the Bank of Scotland, a botanist, 

 came in, and spent some time with us.
