The Druid Beads are generally Glaft. Since the laft 
Edition of Camden I have meet with 2 or 3 of them, 
that had a Snake manifeftly painted round them : So 
that I take it for granted, the Ova Anguina of the Britijb 
Druids were thefeGlafs Beads 3 tho’ thofe of the Ganlijb 
were the Shells of the Echini orbicnlati laticlavij • 
E fearched this Summer the high Mountain by 
Brecnock, called T Vann nwch deni , but found 
nothing in it new, nor any great variety of rare Plants. 
The moft choice wereSedum Alpinum ericoides , in abun- 
dance 5 Argemone lutea 5 Rhodia Radix 5 Mufcus cupref- 
fijormis , and about half a dozen more of the common 
Snowdon Plants. Lyfimachia Qhamnencrion diffa is a com- 
mon Plant (by the Name of Lhyfidr Miln>r y i. e. Herb a 
militaris ) in the Meadows through all the upper Parts 
of this County. We alfo met with Sorbns legitima and 
Sorbus torminalk ("grown to as great a height as the Or- 
nus) neither of which had ever occur’d before in Wales . 
But of all thefe Topical Plants I was furprifed at none 
fo much as the Capillns Veneris verus growing very plen- 
tifully out of a marly Incruftation, both at Barry Iflmd 
and P orth King in Glamorganjhire y and out of no other 
Matter 5 and alfo that Gnaphalinm ntajus Americanum 
fhould grow on the Banks of Rymny River {which runs 
altogether over Iron Stone) for the fpace of at lea ft 1*2 
Miles, beginning near the Fountain-head in a Mountain 
of this County ^ and yet not a Plant of it to be feen 
elfewhere throughout Wales. In a great Lake called 
Lhyn Savadhan I found a pellucid Plant I had never met 
1 with before: The Leaves are extraordinary thin and 
tranfparent, in form not unlike fmall Dock Leaves 5 but 
the middle Rib is continued beyond the extremity, fo
