more open country of light plougli and some grass, are 

 Sutton Scars dale. Hard wick Hall, &c. In the extreme 

 south, where the Forest runs down to Newstead Abbey, 

 some small portion of it is drawn neutrally by the 

 Eufford and the South Notts. 



Turning to the Clays, we find woods too frequent to 

 enumerate, and plough of one sample everywhere 

 outside, excepting the meadows alongside the Trent, 

 which foxes seldom touch. It is more than a fair 

 scenting country, however ; and foxes are as plentiful 

 as they need be. The most notable woods, perhaps, 

 are Wellow Park Woods, Ossington Woods (Lady 

 Ossington's), Winkburn Woods (Col. BurnelFs), Kel- 

 ham Woods (Mr. Manners Sutton^ s), and Kirkling- 

 ton (Mrs. Boddam-Whetham's) . With these, Kneesall 

 Grreen, Laxton, and Walesby may be mentioned as 

 chief meets on this side of the country.
