the line of the path, thereby forming an almost 

 level piece of ground at B between the base of 

 the bank and the path. This continues to 

 about the centre of the semicircle, when at C 

 the bank again advances towards the edge of 

 the path, at the same time increasing its 

 gradient until, by the time the end of the semi- 

 circle is reached at D, the slope again reaches 

 the line of the path. Here it bears rather 

 sharply to the right and continues to wind on 

 gently for the next 17 yards, when it takes a 

 decided bend to the left at E for about 20 

 yards, then once more curves gently to the 

 right and gradually dies away towards the 

 rising ground beyond. 



Beyond the rather steep part at D, the bank 

 by degrees assumes the form of two terraces, 

 the lower one about 3 feet above the level 

 of the path, and of a very gentle gradient, while 

 the upper one is much steeper. This formation 

 continues until about the point E, when the 

 terraces once more merge into one bank, with 

 a gentle gradient, which does not vary very 

 much for some distance, when it again becomes 

 steeper as it winds round the curve, after
