OCTOBER. 283 



29th. Bright. Skylark singing. 



30th - Damp morning. Very heavy rains during last night. The 

 Autumn tints will never look better than they do just now, and it is a 

 perfect treat to take a journey by train through a well-wooded district. 

 It is worth the penny a mile charged, only more so. 



A Jackdaw went over my house early this morning, shouting 

 loudly, and the Hedge Sparrow is very noisy. 



81st. Very close, but fine. Hedge Sparrow singing, also Lark. 

 It is much too warm to be healthy.
