ITINERARIES.

at Bethkellert told me that Meum [M. athamanticmri, 

 Jacq.] grows upon Carnedwen, a mountain between 

 Bala and Dolgelle. 



Tuesday, May the °27th, we set out for Snowdon, and 

 so to Clenog, about twelve miles. On Snowdon hill we 

 found that species of Adianthum floridum [Pteris crispa, 

 Linn., Sw., AUosorus crispus, Bernh.] which we had 

 before observed in Westmorland. At Clenog we saw St. 

 Bayno's tomb, whereupon (they say) if a sick person be 

 laid for three weeks upon every Friday, after the third 

 Friday he wiU suddenly either recover or die. Here is 

 also a weU dedicated to St. Bayno. 



Wednesday, May the 28th, we travelled from Clenog 

 to Aberdaren, eighteen miles. By the way we saw the 

 rock at Madryn, where crystal stones are found. At 

 Aberdaren, on the shores, grows the before-mentioned 

 Leucoium marinum [Matthiola sinuata, R. Br.] 



Thursday, May the 29th, from Aberdaren we ferried 

 over to the Isle of Bardsey, a pretty little spot, rented for 

 50/. per annum. There build the Prestholm puffin, sea- 

 pies, [oyster catcher,] and some other birds ; and there 

 are still to be seen the ruins of an old church ; three 

 more they told us of. Near these ruins is an heap of 

 dead men's skulls, and other bones of such votaries, as, 

 for the sanctity of the place, had been buried there. We 

 found a kind of HyacintJms stellatus vernus [Scilla verna, 

 Huds. — See p. 168 supra.] growing there in great plenty ; 

 the same we conjectm-e grew at Llandwyn ; we found 

 also that species of geranium \Erodnm maritimum 

 Sw.] which we had seen in the Isle of Man, and in 

 Prestholm ; likewise the new Poli/podimi [Asplenium 

 marinum, Linn.] on the rocks, which I find called by 

 Lobel, CJiamcBjilix marina Anglicana. 



Friday, May the 30th, we passed over from Aberdaren to 

 Pulhely, and by the way saw a well which the Welch call 

 Funnan Deuw, i. e. God's well. They fancy it works 

 strange cures. We did not observe any notable taste in 

 it, neither would it tincture silver, as we were told it 

 would.
