Criua Bottom, and after refreshments of tea and other 

 non-intoxicating beverages, we walked back to Ingleton, 

 where we found our conveyance awaiting us, and, after 

 a pleasant drive home, we reached Kirkby-Lonsdale in 

 good time for dinner, and though we were all more or less 

 exhausted from the excessive heat of the day, yet we were 

 all able to do ample justice to the good things of mine 

 host of the hotel. 



Wednesday, 2nd August. — The excursion to-day was 

 to Farleton Fell, and Hutton Eoof Crag. The rocks here 

 were very similar to those of the White Scars, and many 

 of the plants were the same as found yesterday. The day 

 was again very sultry and extremely warm. We drove in 

 a conveyance as far as the north side of Farleton Fell, 

 and after a very stiff climb reached the summit and 

 walked along the ridge to Hutton Eoof. Farleton Fell is 

 800 feet above sea-level, whilst Hutton Eoof Crag is 

 859 feet high.

Thursday, 3rd August. — The excursion to-day was to

 Sedbergh and walked back to Middleton Station, and
