3i)0 CALENDAR, 1810. 



which, when viewed from a distance, present the appearance 

 of a second spring. 



6th. Viola tricolor in flower. 



7th. Many varieties of Papaver somniferum still in flower 

 in my garden.* Boletus bovimis . here and there found. Also 

 Agaricus campestris and A. glutinosus. 



8th. The Pheasant's Eye Adonis aututnnalis in flower. 

 14th. The Swans are observed flying against the Wind, 

 which is reckoned here a sure indication of approaching Rain. 

 The weather is again very warm; but the disproportion 

 between the heat of the day and the cold of the night is 

 increased. 



Boletus bulbosus found. Swallows and Martins congregate 

 in flocks. The Willow Wrens are still seen. 



15th. A warm, cloudy, lowering morning. Rain com- 

 menced in the afternoon. The Michaelmas x)aisy Aster 

 tradescanti in flower. Many of the summer plants still 

 remain in blow. Boletus bovinus coming up here and there. 



([Being absent some little time on a tour to Brussels and 

 through the Netherlands, the continuity of this Calendar, as 

 relates to TUNBRIDGE WELLS, has necessarily been inter- 

 rupted. I have therefore substituted my observations made 

 on the FLORA of the country through which I passed, and 

 added collateral observations on this neighbourhood, made 

 during my absence by competent persons, whereby the reader 

 may in some measure compare the FLORA of the two climates. 

 From the 14th instant the Calendar will commence again in 

 the neighbourhood of TUNBRIDGE WELLS.] 



21st. I noticed among large flights of Rooks not only the 



* A variety of the large white kind of Poppy occurred, whose capsule 

 opened to emit the seed, like those of P. horti: a circumstance which 

 further corroborates the idea of tlu's plant being only a variety.
