ulla turn maturuerunt. Croci semen in hortulo, D. Brown 

 non antea a me conspectum copiosum vidi, sed nescio 

 qua incogitantia illud omisi et neglexi. Die Lunae Caw- 

 shamwn vicum uno circiter milliari Readinga remotum 

 perrexi, illinc non longe in colle cretaceo qui Thamesi 

 imminet Orcldn anthropophoron [Aceras ant/iropop//ora, 

 R. Br.] ex instinctu D. Brown inveni, non tamen copiose. 

 Eandemmet pridem circa Genevam inveneram ; /. J^au- 

 hino Orchis galea et alis fere cinereis dicitur. Et liic, 

 quod ad plantas spontaneas attinet, solus hujus itineris 

 fructus erat. Die Martis hue veni ubi brevi unius diei 

 quiete interposita ut Morgani hortura lustrarem. Die 

 Jovis pedes in Cantium progressus sum usque ad collem 

 Rough-hill dictum, a Darfordia non longe, ut ibi inve- 

 nirem Helleborinen albam \_Cephala?ithera grandiJiora\ et

 loci invenisse T. Wilhsellus asseruit. Sed quamvis non 

 indiligens scrutinium adhibuerim, neutra mihi conspecta 

 est. At neque quicquam de Flore Adonidis in arvis illis 

 crescente, a rustica turba quani sciscitabar, inaudire potui. 

 Inveni quidem Chamapitpi \Ajuga Chamapitys, Sm.] et 

 Perfoliatam [Bupleurum rotundifolium , Linn.] copiose, et

 speciem [Geranium colunihinmn, Linn.], quam a se in 

 agris collectam ciim Oxonii essem mihi raonstravit Jacobus 

 Bobertus filius.

Sir, — I met with several adventures in the remaining 

 part of my journey after I left you; and amongst the 

 rest, with one very lucky one, of a new discovery of me- 

 dals. You may remember the day we parted I had in- 

 tended to have gone to Cirencester, but hearing by the 

 way of a great deal of treasure that was found in a field, 

 I presently conjectured it might be Roman coin, and 

 diverted my course thither. The field was near Dursly
