 the western corner. 



Let us now come back to the pin oak at the fork 

 of the Walk, where we broke off to cross the Drive. 

 We will now follow its north-westerly branch, which 

 skirts the westerly side of Long Meadow. 



Between the fork by the pin oak and the next 

 branching of the path there is a good bush of the 

 sweet viburnum not very far along on your left. You 

 will know it by its very finely serrated leaves. It is also 

 quite close to a chestnut which will serve you as an 

 index to its position. 



As you follow the Walk along, beyond the Shelter 

 it bends in toward West Drive. Just as it begins to 

 turn away from West Drive, if you leave the path 

 and step across the grass to the Drive, you will find 

 close by it, a tree that will interest you. It is the 

 Turkey oak, and it is a good one. Have you ever 

 seen the acorns of the Turkey oak? If not you have 

 something to see. For ragged ends of fringe the 

 bur oak acorn does pretty well, but it is not a circum- 

 stance to what the acorn of the Turkey oak can do. 

 Hunt around for one. They are worth seeing. They

 oblong, very deeply and unequally notched into 

 pinnate sinuses, and are on very short stalks. Their 

 lobes are rather angularly cut. To find this tree more 

 readily it is not far from a chestnut which also stands 

 close by the Drive. Almost directly across the Drive 

 from these two trees stands a lamp-post, and to its
