BEISTOL, ETC., IN MAY AND JUNE, 1767. 33 
With regard to the curious lines mentioned by Banks, Mr. W. 
Jerdone Braikenridge is so good as to inform me that they are held 
by antiquarians to be traces of E-oman circumvallation. " They 
are hardly," he says, " discernible now, but I have more than one 
interesting drawing of them, made about the year 1787. The 
camp spoken of is Cadbury Camp, occupied by the Romans, but 
considered to have been originally British. 
Ophrys apifera. — It is a singular fact that at page 180 of the 
Picturesque Guide already quoted, occurs the following passage, 
where, speaking of S* Vincent's Eock : — 
" Sir Joseph Banks was the first who discovered here a species 
of Ophrys, often met with on Dardham-downs." This infor- 
mation was perhaps obtained from some Bristol acquaintance of 
Banks. 
Catcot. — This, I conclude, was the Rev. Alexander Catcott, 
Vicar of the Temftle Church in Bristol, the author of A Treatise 
on the Deluge, \vh.o bequeathed his Cabinet of Fossils to the Cor- 
poration of Bristol. He died in June, 1779. 
2^ M"^ Innis. — John Innys, of Redland Court, was one of the 
sons of Andrew Innys, of Bristol, gent., and must have been born 
about the year 1695, he being 83 when he died in 1778. I have 
collected the following information about John Innys and others 
of his family, which I think worth preserving in connection with 
Sir Joseph Banks' Journal.^ The Jeremy Innys I am about to 
mention Avas a brother of John. 
In the vestry of the parish church of Westbury-on-Trym is a 
large oak chest with the following inscription : — 
" This Chest and Cushions, with the Communion Rails, the Gift 
of Jeremy Innys, of Redland Court, Esq., 1759." 
There is also a lofty oak surplice press with the following 
inscription : — 
" The Gift of John Innys, of Redland Court, Esq., Churchwarden, 
1764." 
John Cossins, who built Redland Court about the year 1730, and 
who married Martha, the sister of John Innys, died April 19th, 
1759, and, according to Mr. Beaven,^ Jeremy Innys died November 
22nd, 1764. It shoiild be observed that Jeremy Innys, "of Red- 
land Court, Esq.," presented the chest the year John Cossins died, 
and John Innys, "of Redland Court, Esq.," presented the press the 
year Jeremy Innys died.
