Cynipids 2. 25th July 1954. The best day of the holiday so far & with no falling glass (Sunday). Set off alone at 11 AM. & went round W. side of Meallower & then straight N. up to & past the Juncus trifidus ground to the crag above, where had lunch at 1.10, but failed once more to re-discover my patch of Azalea procumbens. After lunch went across ridge & into N. corrie to look for more Sagina nivalis & then up to summit to meet Marcus Graham, his wife Nora, & her mother Mrs Schapens, at 3 PM. Came to the conclusion that the plants seen on 23rd were only young plants of Arenaria sedoides in fruit & not Sagina nivalis. Left summit at 3.10 & after 195. 25.7.54, cont. Ben Lawers, cont. passing & looking at my supposed Sax. [[strikethrough]] scularus [[/strikethrough]] - only cernua (shade form) A.W.S. 1963 - & Sax. cernua I went down the "cernau" gully & across the corrie to the big cliff, had tea at 4.15 & found Gentiana in bud & almost out - quite out on return to hotel owing to very hot sun on my back all the way home. Also saw Arenaria rubella near top of gully & again on bare rock below big cliff (with Sedum villosum) Left W. corrie at 5.10 & home in hotel at 6.35 PM. After 2 P.M. very warm & entirely sunny - very hot sun.
