EEISTOL, ETC., IN MAY AND JUNE, 1767. 25 
other day Lying Loose upon the ground on the Green hill 
Just be3^ond S* Vincent's Rock. After breakfast set out for 
M*" Innis's^o Garden at Eedland. which I had heard a great 
character of — found it very trifling, scarce one good Plant 
in his whole Collection. M"" Lmis values himself cheifly 
upon officinal Plants, consequently is well stored v/ith 
nettles. Docks etc. : yet were not able to puzzle out the 
name of Lysimachia nummularia, at Least so the Gardener 
told me who askd me the name and desird me to set it down 
on paper which I did. From hence set out for London and 
in my w:ay to Bath was agreably surprizd by finding Orni- 
thogalum Pyrenaicum in tolerable plenty on the right hand 
side, about a Quarter of a mile before I came to Kensham, 
on the beginning of the Descent. 
20. — Set out for London : observed betvv^een Silbury and 
Marlborough the Stones calld Grey weathers, which in one 
particular valley are scatterd about in great numbers on 
the surface of the ground. The people in that neighbour- 
hood were breaking great numbers of them, either to mend 
the roads or build houses which gave me an opportunity of 
examining them and bringing away some peices which I 
found to be of a very hard and fine graind Sand Stone. 
Whether it is found in beds in any part of this countrey I 
w^ill not venture to say, but Remember that some time ago 
in seeing Gen^ Conway's place near Henly I saw a large 
heap of such stones, some of them of an immense size and on 
asking where they were got from was told that they were 
found scatterd all over that countrey, Laying on the stratum 
over the Chalk at Different Depths, and that those I saw 
had been got together at a large expence, for some work to 
be done in the General's Grounds, I think a bridge. 
Finis.
