cultivation round about the various villages, the country immediately 

 south of the Hog's Back is an undulating waste of sandy heaths, 

 distinguished the one portion from the other with difficulty. Those lying 

 nearest to the Hog's Back are named as above. 



TOTTENHAM COMMON. 



Hilly and of considerable extent, sloping from north and north-west to 

 south-west ; furze- and heath-grown ; here and there, a Holly or a White- 

 thorn bush. A rill from a spring at the foot of the downs feeds a succession 

 of ponds, first in the grounds of Hampton Lodge, west of the heath, and 

 then on the common, and these latter receive the drainage from the upper 

 slopes. Before entering the Lodge precincts the rill forms an alder swamp. 

 The ponds on the common, called Cutmill Ponds, are three in succession, 

 divided from each other by dams; the borders of all are more or less 

 boggy in places ; continuous westwards with Crookesbury Common.
