266 BOTANICAL TOURS IN WALES. 
“Thursday, May the 22nd, we went over to Prestholm Is- 
land; there groweth Hipposilinum (Smyrnium Olusatrum) in 
great plenty, Cochlearia vulgaris.” The editor of the Memorials 
brackets C. anglica as the synonym of this plant. Is not C. 
officinalis found on the coast as well as on the mountains of 
Wales? ‘ Crithmum maritimum, Beta maritima, and a small 
sort of Geranium (Erodium maritimum). Saturday, May the 
24th, we rode to Llandwyn and thence to Carnarvon. At 
Llandwyn we found Crithmum chrysanthemum (Tnula_ crith- 
moides) and Crithmum maritimum, Hyacinthus autumnalis minor 
(Scilla verna, Huds.), Limonium vulgare (Statice Limonium), and 
a kind of Polypody (Asplenium marinum) ; on the beaches near 
Abermenny ferry, in the isle, Gnaphalium marinum (Diotis mari- 
tima), and a kind of Leucojum (Matthiola sinuata), both elegant 
plants. Monday, May the 16th, we went to Llanberis and so to 
Bethkellert. By the way, near the upper end of Llanberis pool, we 
saw growing wild Papaver erraticum luteum Cambro-Britannicum 
(Meconopsis cambrica),” [Qy. Is this the first record of the plant 
as a spontaneously growing species ?]| “ and near the stone tower 
(Dolbadern Castle) a species of Orchis palmata (Gymnadenia 
albida). An old man at Bethkellert told me that Meum (M. 
athamanticum) grows upon Carnedwen, a mountain betwen Bala 
and Dolgelle. Tuesday, May the 27th, we set out for Snow- 
don and so to Clenog, about twelve miles. On Snowdon hill 
we found that species of Adianthum floridum (Allosorus crispus) 
which we had before observed in Westmoreland.” 
On Thursday, the 29th, the travellers visited Bardsey, more 
notable in the day when Giraldus Cambrensis with his band of 
Crusaders travelled through Wales, than it is now. In reference 
to this island, remarkable for its 10,000 graves of saints, still 
deemed sacred, our facetious favourite, Dr. Fuller, with more wit 
than piety, remarked that it would, in his time, be easier to find 
10,000 graves, than 10,000 saints to occupy them. The tradi- 
tionary account of this famous spot, formerly known as the 
Island of the Saints, is, that after the slaughter of the Monks of 
Bangor-is-y-coed, the persecuted men who had embraced Christi- 
anity, sought and obtained a refuge here and established a sanc- 
tuary, where they found repose from the troubles which then 
raged through the Principality. 
“On Saturday, May the 3lst, we rode to Harlech, where
