Remarks. 



Since 1904 inclusive, an attempt has been made to run the dogs over every part of the moor prior to- 

 August 12th, and the results are registered in the last three columns of above table. 



The exact number of barren pairs is not recorded in the figures, but all coveys are included. 



The whole of the moor is above 1,100 feet over sea level, and the best heather is about 1,200-1,500 feet. 



The aspect of the moor is about half south-west and half north-east.
