274 BOTANICAL EXCURSIONS MADE BY 
of Mr. Sconce is excellent. Called on De Candolle, 100 Cour St. 
Pierre. M. Alphonse de Candolle was not at home. Saw his 
son, who showed us the Candollean Library and the Herbarium 
superintended by Dr. Mueller. Interesting to see the mode in 
which the plants mentioned in the Prodromus were marked. De 
Candolle and Mueller accompanied us to the Botanic Garden, 
which is no longer superintended by Alphonse de Candolle, but 
in which there are many plants of interest. P. Maclagan, P. 
Graham, Williamson, Bell, and Sconce remained at Geneva. 
Dined at our hotel and left Geneva at 4.15 p.m. for Paris, 3rd 
class.

and reached it at 8 p.m.—thus going from Paris to Edinburgh in 
twenty-five and a half hours. Rest of party dispersed, and with 
two others I left by train at 7.30 p.m., third class, and after an 
uncomfortable journey reached Edinburgh at 7.30 a.m. on 
Wednesday, 1st September 1858.
