among others the Bundlefungus Agaricus fiiscicularis is 

 growing abundantly at Upton, in Essex. 



M. Thomas F. Forster, of Clapton, discovered, at North 

 Minis, on the llth, a variety of the Primula vulgaris, with 

 bright saffron coloured yellow flowers. 



The Calendar of Flora Fauna and Pomona is from 

 this time henceforward kept at Hartwell, by Tunbridge 

 Wells, Sussex. 



APRIL 15th. Hirundo rustica the Swallow first made its 

 appearance in the neighbourhood of Lingfield. The Turnip 

 is now in full flower every where. Fulica chloropus the 

 Moorhen is building. The seeds of Papaver somniferum 

 coming up, which were sown only a week ago. Vipers and 

 Snakes out a considerable time. 



17th Cool showery weather, and Westerly Wind. The 

 Cowslip and Pagel* every where in flower hereabouts. Pile- 

 wort still flowering abundantly, and Cardamine pratensis in 

 all the meadows. 



18th. Orchis mascula in flower under a hedge facing the 

 South. The Kidlock Sinapis arvensis plentifully in flower 

 in the corn fields near Cowden and elsewhere. Specimens 

 appear here and there in marshy ground of the Agaricus 

 glulinosus. 



19th. A thorough rainy day. A few Swallows were 

 flying about at Hartfield. I had not seen this bird before 



* The word Pagel for the Primula veris is evidently a corruption of 

 Pratigale ; we have several such terminations, as Nightingale, &c.
