REVIEWS. 219 
Having left the mountain before evening, the party reached 
Glynnlhivon, and there rested the following day. ‘They subse- 
quently passed the strait, and visited the south-west corner of 
Mona (Anglesea). On rocks by the shore Statice Limonium and 
Crithmum maritimum, with Asplenimum marinum, were collected. 
Here also a variety of Jacea tricolor (Viola tricolor?; V. lutea 
is not noticed by Davies) ornamented the banks and barren 
plain; also a few plants of Centaurium minus, only two inches 
high (? Hrythrea littoralis). Among the sand-hills grew Tithy- 
malus Paralias (Kuphorbia Paralias), and the Sea-rush, of which 
the natives make cordage, in great abundance. In the same loca- 
lity, or near it, Triorchis (Spiranthes autumnalis) and Lathyrus 
mayor angustifolius (Lathyrus sylvestris?) abounded. 
Our botanists returned to Bangor from Anglesea, and leaving 
Bangor, reached a rustic village called Lhan-lhechid. Here they 
appear to have engaged the services of a guide to the famous 
mountain, Carnedh-lhewellyn, sed progressi celo admodum plu- 
vioso parum proficimus (the rain made our progress tedious and 
toilsome). The summit was of course enveloped in dense clouds, 
and the guide was too timid to lead them to the precipitous rocks, 
where the rare plants grow. Our author states that these hills 
supply pasture for both sheep and cattle. The rustic guide said 
the eagles had nests and young in these crags; and they fright- 
ened the sheep over the rocks, and thus they usually procured 
their prey. Between the tempestuous weather and the cowardice 
of the guide our travellers obtained on this mountain little or 
nothing worth notice, except Gramen Sparteum spicd foliaced 
majus (is this Mat-weed Nardus, or a viviparous form of Festuca?) 
and Consolida media, flore ceruleo alpinum (an alpine form of 
Ajuga reptans).
