unusually gaudily-coloured flowers of Amemone nemorosa and 
Oxalis acetosella. 1 left here in time to get the train and arrived 
home at about half-past vin rs well tired. The day was a most

beyond my most sanguine expectations. To find two fresh 
habitats in one day for Zimnea glabra is a feat that is not 
very often accomplished.
