1889] JOUKNAL— CAMBRIDGE AND BRAEMAR. 255 



There was a continuance of very changeable weather all through 

 February, with, exceeding and sudden variations of the ther- 

 mometer. 



April 12. Dr. Kennedy's funeral. 



April 13. We went to Sidmouth. 



April 17. Drove to Sidbury, and saw the interesting semi- 

 Norman church. There are two curious figures on the west side of 

 the tower ; and two windows (closed) high up in the chancel arch. 



April 18. "We walked to Harpford Wood to find flowers abun- 

 dantly. Saw a few plants of Euscus in flower, also Chrysosplenium 

 oppositifolium. 



April 20. To Beer, which is a beautiful spot, and over the hill 

 to near Seaton. 



May 31. The Rev. J. Worthington Atkin came to take sermons 

 and meetings for the " Pouring out of the Holy Spirit." 



June 13. I laid the first stone of St. Philip's Church. 



June 26. We went to spend a week at Sandford Park with 

 Mrs. Guest. 



July 11. We had a nice day at Hunstanton. Statice reticulata 

 in flower. 



July 18. Went with Cowell to spend the day at Mr. J. Pollard's 

 at High Down, near Hitchin. Had two nice botanical walks there. 

 Monotropa was the best plant seen, but also saw Pinguicula on a 

 singularly dry hill-side. 



July 19. Went to Peterborough, Crowland, and Thorney. 



July 23. We went to Wicken Fen. 



July 25. Cambridge Antiquarian Society excursion to Lincoln. 

 Canon Venables took us over the city and Cathedral. 



Aug. 14. To Braemar. The warm weather at the early part of 

 the summer has caused the flowering plants to be over earlier than 

 usual, but the Calluna is very beautiful. 



Sept. 3. Found, in the pond behind Corrie Ferrigie House, 

 Chara fragilis and a Sparganiwm, perhaps affine. 



Sept. 4. Examined the shingle bank on the right hand side of 

 the Clunie below the Dee Road, finding Hieracium prenantho'ides, 

 Tanacetum, Oxyria, and Lupinum. 



Sept. 5. Went to the Highland Games at Old Mar Lodge. The 

 Queen was there, and the new Duchess of Fife. It was a beautiful 

 day, and a most fitting site in front of the house for them. We 

 were much interested.
