TREMELLA No STOC. Though the weather may

FAIRY RINGS. The cause, occasion, call it what 

 you will, of fairy rings, subsists in the turf, and is 

 conveyable with it ; for the turf of my garden-walks, 

 brought from the down above, abounds with those 

 appearances, which vary their shape, and shift situ- 

 ation continually, discovering themselves now in 

 circles, now in segments, and sometimes in irregular 

 patches and spots. Wherever they obtain, puff-balls 

 abound ; the seeds of which were doubtless brought 

 in the turf. WHITE.
