24 JOURNAL OF AN EXCUESION TO EASTBURY AND 
do not at all conjecture, but about a mile from tliem in the 
way to Bristol is a very fine Encampment, with a double 
vallum, probably E/Oman. 
18. — This morn Discoverd by accident an immense quan- 
tity of Bulbs, probably of Scilla autumnalis, growing on 
the very Brink of the precipice of S* Vincent's Rock nearest 
the Limekiln on the sides of the Zigzag walk : also abun- 
dance of Ophrys apifera,^^ now in full Perfection. Went at 
noon to see M"" Catcot's fossils at Bristol — spent two hours 
with him in Looking them over, perfectly agreably. His 
Collection tho small is Certainly the most amusing, possibly 
the Best as it is also the most instructing I have seen. His 
specimens, particularly of Extraneous, are all so Completely 
Good that you have not a moments doubt of their having 
existed in a recent state. The most capital are many of the

some land animal, Possibly Lemur Macauco, almost entire, 
the bones placed in their proper order, which was found in 
the same place. 
19. — G-ot up this morn Early to go in search of the Vero- 
nica hybrida ? which I heard from M'' Catcot had been 
found upon Vincent's Eocks : found it sparingly on the 
Ledges of Eocks in my way down to Griant's Hole. I 
omitted mentioning yesterday that M'" Catcot shewed me 
n very good Specimen of Lycoperdon fornicatum, which was 
found on the other side of the water Last autumn. It was 
cut into no more than four ■ Lacinise, but from its whole 
appearance I could not but conjecture that it is no more than 
a L : stellatum, with its volva adhering to it, which is very 
seldom found as it is very Liable to be broke from it, the 
volva being fixd in the ground. I should in this Place also 
remember that I myself found one of the L : stellatum the
