MAGDALEX TIDE. 206 



JULY 23. St. Apollinaris, bishop of Ravenna, 

 and martyr. 



St. Liborius, bishop and confessor, 397. 



Obs. St. Apollinaris was the first Bishop of Ravenna. He sat 

 twenty years, and was crowned with martyrdom in the reign of 

 Vespasian. God preserved him a long time to his church, and did 

 not suffer the persecutors to take away his life, so he seems to have 

 only been a martyr by the torments he endured for Christ, which he 

 survived at least some days. — Virae Sand.

The Lizard Orchis is found at this time of year near to Dartford 

 in Kent, and in a few other places, but is a scarce plant in England. 



The Spreading Bellflower is also scarce : it has been found in 

 Surrey, not far from Cobhara. 



Many of the Lilies remain in flower ; the Scarlet Lychnis, the 

 Sweet Williams, Poppies, and other solstitial plants, remain in full 

 blow, and if the summer happen to be a dry one, they will require 

 water. Commonly the aestival showers attributed to St. Swithin at 

 this season of the year irrigate the earth sufficiently often, without 

 any artificial watering. 



Fishing is still in season, particularly for Trout, Pearch, Bleak, 

 Dace, Roach, Gudgeons, and Chub.
