less the spot from which Mr. Bingley sent the specimen of the plant to 

 Sovverby, which is figured in ' British Botany,' and which is stated to 

 have been ' cominunicated fresh from a moist spot of ground a little 

 below the Culms, near Horton, in Craven, by Mr. Bingley, in July last ' 

 {i.e. July, 1799). In the same neighbourhood also grew the Cat's-foot 

 {Gnaphal'mm dioicum), plentifully and luxuriantly. A little higher on the 

 face of the hill we met with abundance of the common Rock Rose [Hellan- 

 themum vulgare) the Salad Burnet {Poterium Smiguisorbd), the Milkwort 

 {Folygala vulgaris) in all its varied hues, and the common Thyme {Thymus 

 Serpyllum). In wet places, and by the sides of springs, were abundance 

 of the Bird's-eye Primrose, the Butterwort {Pinguicula vulgaris), the 

 Forget-me-not {Myosotls paltistris), two or three kinds, the Marsh Vale- 

 rian {Valeriana clioica), and the Wood Pimpernel {Lysimacliia nemorum). 

 In the woods and thickets we observed the Mountain Ash, or Rowan-tree 

 (Pyrus Aucuparia), the yellow Cow-wheat {Melumpyriim pratense), the 

 Sweet Woodruff {Jsperula odorata), the Wood Sanicle {Sanicula europeea), 

 the Earth Nut {Buniiim flexuosum), and the Bittercress {Cardamiue 

 amara). On rocks and banks, in open places in the woods, the Hairy 

 Wallcress {Arahis hirsnta) was plentiful ; and in one place we observed a 

 quantity of the Hemp Agrimony {Enpaiorium cannabinmn). On the scars 

 grew several of the Hawkweed tribe {ffieracia), as yet in an immature 

 state ; the Kidney "Vetch {AnthylUs vuhieraria'), the Wall-rue Spleenwort 

 (Aspleni?im Ruta-muraria), the Black Spleenwort {Asplenium Adianlmn- 

 nigru7n) occasionally, and the Toothed Bladder-Fern {Cystopteris den- 

 tata). On the top of the hiil there was abundance of the blue Moor-grass 

 {Sesleria ccerulea), and occasionally the Spring Sandwort {Arenaria ve?-?ia), 

 and also a few plants of the Savin-leaved Club-moss {Lycopodium alpinum). 

 Near the foot of the hill where we descended is a solitary farmhouse, and 

 at a short distance from it is a magnificent Sycamore-tree, the sigiit of 

 which would well repay a divergence from the high-road, even to the tired 

 pedestrian. 



" We did not do anything at Swarthmoor in the botanical line beyond 

 noticing several specimens of the rare Hairy Stonecrop {Sedum villosnni) 

 just coming into blossom. Perhaps it would not be out of place here to 

 notice that when, on a previous occasion, we had gone to Settle from 

 Horton, we saw, on a waste spot of ground, in the village of Little Stain- 

 forth, the Welsh Poppy (Meconopsis camhrica), and the spotted Dead 

 Nettle {Lamivm macidatum). Near them grew abundance of ' Good King 

 Henry,' or Wild Spinach {Chenopodium Bonns-Henricus), and on old 

 walls of the village the shining Crane's-bill {Geranium hccidum) was ex- 

 tremely luxuriant and jilentiful, and the before-mentioned Hairy Wallcress 

 was frequently to be seen."
