Saturday, 5th July 1856. 
The morning was beautiful, and all breakfasted about 7 a.m. 
in the open air at Springbank. After breakfast the party 
divided into different sections, some going to dredge in Lamlash 
Bay, others boating and fishing, others going to Holy Island. 
The party for Holy Island proceeded to Lamlash and got a 
large boat to take them across and wait for them. They 
inspected Dr. Miles’ Vivarium which is admirably kept, and 
contains many beautiful specimens of marine animals. Dr. Miles 
and Dr. Greville left in the morning for Glasgow. 
The party next examined the vegetation of the island and 
gathered :— 
Sedum anglicum Zostera marina 
Arctostaphylos Uva-ursi Asplenium marinum 
ycopus europzeus Osmunda regalis 
Scutellaria galericulata ; 
Visited also St. Molio’s Cave ; some ascended to the top of the 
island. The day became overcast and some rain descended. 
It was not, however, till late in the afternoon that the mist, rain, 
and wind became great. 
On returning to Lamlash gathered fine specimens of Hypericum 
Androsemum and Cotyledon Umbilicus. Joined the boat at. 1.45 
p-m., Our baggage having been put on board at Springbank.
