THE FERN PAKADISE. 



Leaving the wood we pass across an open 

 meadow ; and then for a long distance we skirt a 

 park wall, where, nnder the shadow of over- 

 hanging trees, grow the Scaly Spleenwort, the 

 "Wall Rue, the Co aim on Maidenhair Spleenwort, 

 the Black Maidenhair Spleenwort, and small 

 specimens of the Hartstongue. From this wall 

 the path follows on through the grounds of Dart- 

 ington Hall, and pursuing it, after getting some 

 delightful peeps of woodland and river scenery, 

 we find ourselves again at Totnes.
