" The boundary line between Yorkshire and Westmoreland runs 

 along the western edge of this hill, and on that side it falls ab- 

 ruptly into the vale of the Eden, but the atmosphere was too 

 misty today to allow us to see more than a vague outline of the 

 hills of the Lake country, or to catch even a casual glimpse of 

 Micklefell and the peaks over Stainmoor. Proceeding along 

 the line of watershed between Whitstondale and Mallerstang, 

 we saw, at nearly the same level as the gritstone edge before 

 mentioned, Myosotis repens, Cardans palustris, and Vaccinium 

 Oxycoccos. The head of the fell that overhangs the main 

 valley of the Swale is at least 2000 feet high, and here we 

 noticed, in the vicinity of a shepherd's hut, Stellaria media, 

 Plantago lanceolata, Montia fontana ; on its wails, Leskea sericea 

 and Grimmia pulvinata ; and by the side of a little tarn hard 

 by, Ranuncidus hederaceus, CalUtriche verna, Juncus supinus, 

 Equisetum palustre, and Hypnum palustre. From Hollow Mill 

 Cross we descended by the road to Keld again, and next morning 

 returned to E-eeth by way of Muker and Gunnerside. Between 

 Keld and Muker we gathered Pterogonium gracile, a species ncAV 

 to Yorkshire upon walls by the roadside. About Muker, Car- 

 duus heterophyllus is unvisually plentiful in the fields. In a small 

 piece of hedgerow below the town grow Orthotrichum pulchellum, 

 stramineum, and tenellum ; on walls, AntitricMa curtipendula, and 

 at an elevation of 300 yards, at Gunnerside, Rosa rubiginosa."
