MEMORIALS OF RAY 



every year, to wit, on Good-Friday, Easter Sunday, Mon- 

 day, and Tuesday. On St. Vincent's rock we found 

 several plants, more than we had formerly taken notice 

 of, viz., Androscemum campoclarense col. Sjflypericum mon- 

 tanum, Linn.,] Ferrwn equinam German, siliquis n summi- 

 tate C. B. \IIipj)ocrepis comosa, Linn.,] Acinos anglicum 

 clus. [Calamintha acinos, Linn.,] Sedum medium [8. ru- 

 pestre, Linn. ?] Filicis alia nova species, 8fc. [CeteracJi 

 officinarum, Willd. ?] There is a walk in Bristol called 

 the Tolsey, where are several brass posts or pillars given 

 by several benefactors, serving only for ornament and to

Friday, June the 20th, we left Bristol, and travelled to 

 Bath. By the way we saw at Cainsham, a fine new

 here found a kind of Titliym.alus, resembling, at first 

 sight, the common sun-spurge, but it grows up to a great 

 height, the leaves of a pale green or yellow like Helioscop'. 

 of the figure, w^ell near, of wood spurge ; the stalk some- 

 times reddish. We observed at St. David's, Gloucester, 

 Ratcliffe church (and other churches) behind the choir, a 

 large chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary, which they 

 call the Lady's Chapel. 



Saturday, June the 21st, we rode to Wokey-hole, and 

 from thence to Wells, where we viewed the church, 

 which is a very neat one. It hath a double cross build-

 Virgin Mary, wherein they have their service at six in the 

 morning. The front of this church is very curiously
