you can walk from here to Dover when the tide is out, you may 
find many of those curious excavations known as ‘ pot-holes.” 
They deserve a more esthetic title, for some are very beautiful. 
They are worked out by the combined action of the waves and the 
pebbles—often quite circular, and of all depths from an inch to a 
foot, the sides clothed with delicate seaweeds, each forming a 
natural aquarium, in which, after the retreat of the tide you may 
often find denizens of the sea unwillingly detained. 
Just one word in conclusion to the botanist. Only one word 
because my friend Mr. Walton is more competent to speak upon it 
than I am, and will, I am sure, as you wander about, be ready 
with any information you may need. With him you will be able to 
find the Samphire, the Sea Lavender, possibly (I wont say probably) 
the Sea-Heath, the Madder, with its prickly foliage, the Beet, the © 
Nottingham Catchfly, and many of the Leguminose. 
To the Entomologist it will be sufficient to say that I have here 
taken D. albimacula hovering in the darkening twilight over the 
Silene, and many a larva of chrysidiformis from the roots of the 
docks. 
Tea was provided at five o’clock, and the party were taken home 
again by a train calling for them at 7.30.
