jiOW coniidered as the capfule. By means 
of the excellent botanical library of the 
Sherards, and free accefs to their ample 
Herbarium, and that of Mr. Du Bois, who 
had, with Mr. Doody and feveral others, 
fignalized themfelves by their difcoveries 
this way fome years before, Dillenius 
enjoyed advantages which perhaps no other 
fituation could have afforded. Befides 
which, to give himfelf all further opportu- 
nities that Britain allowed of making dif* 
coveries in this department, he took a jour- 
ney himfelf into Walesy in the fummer of 
1726. In this excurfion he was attended by 
Samuel Brewer. They examined Cader 
Idris, and took up their refidence at Ban-^ 
gor ; fearched Snowdoijy Glyder^ the Ijle of 
Anglefea ; and vifited the Ifie of Man. Mr. 
Green, a clergyman of thofe parts, was 
ufeful in direding their refearches, and in 
affifting Dillenius in the JVelch names 
of places, and of plants. The Rev. Little^ 
ton Brown, M. A. Fellow of the Royal 
Society, is alfo commemorated, as having 
communicated many fpecimens of the Crypr- 
togamous tribe to our author, colledied by
