tears running from them. Nevertheless 

 they seemed more studious of warmth than 

 careful of their eyesight. 



The same sort of plough is used here as 

 at Kimi. 



I had frequent views of the sea through 

 the woods on the right hand. Wherever the 

 waves had thrown up sand-hills grew a pea 

 w4th a triangular stem, a white creeping- 

 perennial root, and thick leaves alternately 

 pinnate, (^Phum Diaritimum). 



Near Jo I noticed a pit-fall designed to 

 catch evolves. This was dug in a hill, at 

 no great distance from the house. Around 

 it within were eleven pales or stakes, placed 

 upright and close together. In the centre 

 stood a pole, which, as well as the pales, 

 was on a level with the surface of the 

 ground. The pole supported awheel, over 

 which were laid boards, so as entirely to 

 cover it, in such a manner that if the wolf, 

 when caught, should be able to climb up 

 as high as the wheel, he might not get anj 

 further.
