This is a moft excellent grafs, and what cattle are 
fo fond of, as often to endanger their lives in getting 
at it; as it always choofes water with a miry bottom 
to grow in, therefore cannot be cultivated. It is to 
this grafs we are indebted for our fine Cottenham 
cheefe;. the land all round Cottenham, in Cam- 
bridgefhire, abounding with this grafs. Mere and 
Cheddar cheefes, alfo, owe their fame, in great mea- 
fure, to this grafs. This is the Maddington long 
grafs of Mr. SrittincrLeet. It grows plentifully - 
in the moors under Cheddar, Glafton, Mere, &c. 
we have it in ditches and ponds about Bathwick and 
Lyncombe, &c.—See No. 7, 96, and 97°
