4th. Campanula Medium still in blow. (This word was 

 erroneously printed media in the Journal of last Month.) 

 The weather continues warm ; and though obscured by much 

 cloud and mist, the Rain keeps off, and the Barometer rises 

 again. 



5th. The quantity of Cirrus, and cirrocumulative Cirro- 

 stratus indicates Rain to-day, as does the fading of flowers 

 and the falling of newly planted plants. 



6'th. Some Fungi began to appear. Agaricus integer, A. 

 campestris, var. /3., and Boletus edulis found here and there 

 in moist places. Malaxis paludosa in flower on Ashburn 

 Forest.t 



7th. Lysimachia vulgaris near Summer Ford in flower. 

 The weather warm and dry, but the nights begin to be 

 cooler, with much dew. An unusual degree of haziness has, 

 however, been observed in the air of late, which some persons 

 have ascribed to an eruption of Vesuvius. Summer Pears 

 gathered. 



8th. The weather still dry. Antirrhenum Linaria now 

 common in every hedge. 



12th. The Chinese Starwort Aster Chinensis in blow 

 in the gardens. Aster Tradescanti the Michaelmas Daisy 



* This plant turns out to be only a Sussex variety of IJieracium 

 Sylvaticum. I have since encreased it by seed, so that I observe it yearly 

 in my garden 1823. 



j- The Malaxis paludosa has not been found in this neighbourhood before, 

 since the time of Ray. It is certainly one of our scarcest plants.
