ITINERARIES.

Saturday, May the 1 7th, we went on to Holywell, and 

 so to Denbigh, where we stayed Sunday, May the 18th. 

 This is one of the greatest towns of North Wales. We 

 observed the sweet moss, and the stones spotted with red 

 at Holywell. There hath been a large and strong castle 

 at Denbigh, but now demolished. The town is governed 

 by two aldermen and two bailiffs, the alderman chief. 

 There is a good market-house, and above it a shire-hall, 

 supported with stone pillars. In our journey from the 

 Molde, we passed by the lady Mostyn's house at Kilken, 

 Mr. John Mostyn's house at Potuary, Sir John Salisbury's 

 house and park at Lleweny, near Denbigh. We saw 

 also an house of Mr. Wynne's, and the bishop of St. 

 Asaph's at Llandurnog. On a bushy hill near Denbigh, 

 on the north-west side of the town, I found Androsmiim 

 campoclarense col. [Hypericum montanum, Linn.,] Zy- 

 copsis q, [Lithospermum purpuro-ccsruleum, Linn.] an 

 elegant plant ; besides a great many of such as I had else- 

 where found, viz., Tilia fcem. [probably T, parmfolia, 

 Ehrh.,] Androsmmwn vulg. \_IIi/pericum androscemum, 

 Linn.,] Cardamine pumila bellidis fol. [probably a 

 mistake, as the plant so called is ih^Ambis strict a, Huds. 

 found only near Bristol. The Denbigh station is not 

 mentioned in Ray's ' Synopsis.'] Fentapliyllnm tormen- 

 tillce facie \_PotentiUa argentia^ Linn.] 



Monday, May the 19th, we this day passed two vil- 

 lages, Henllan and Llanywith, and so through Bettus to 

 Conway, and from thence to Bangor. On Penmaen- 

 maur, I found Lunaria minor [Botrgchium Lunaria, 

 Sw.,] and a sort of Bedwn minus. [?] 



Tuesday, May the 20th, from Bangor we rode to Car- 

 nethllewelyn, which signifies Llewelyn's bones, a very high 

 hill. We had not time enough to search the rocks, and 

 so found no rare plants there, only Cotyledon hirsuta 

 \paxifrago. stellaris. Linn.,] which grows plentifully also 

 upon Snowdon hill. Bangor is a small mean town, the 

 cathedral very indifferent, not comparable to some of our 

 good parish chm-ches in England.
