55. FRENSHAM COMMON. 



A sandy, heathy plain ; the two large ponds upon it have gravelly 

 bottoms. Westwards, it is continuous with Farnham Common, of which 

 the greater portion is hilly and planted with Fir-trees. A chalky subsoil 

 reappears in this direction. Abbot's Pond, between this common and the 

 preceding one, has been drained and converted into pasturage.

56. W1TLEY AND THURSLEY COMMONS. 



To the south of Puttenham Common, and a mile or so west of Milford, 

 the first station beyond Godalming, lie the tracts of sandy heath, called 

 Witley and Thursley commons, continuous with each other except in so 

 far as they may be deemed separated by a rivulet which has its origin in 

 some ponds on Witley Common ; of these Witley Lagg, or the Forked Pond, 

 so called from its peculiar shape, is the largest ; it covers an area of about 

 eleven acres in extent, and receives the drainage of the slopes to the 

 southward. 



Witley Common slopes on the north side towards the river Wey, between 

 which and its base lie some wet meadows and moory ground. Thursley 

 Common is less elevated. There are no pools upon it except a millpond 

 at Thursley, but in a depression near the centre, a marshy bottom of seme 

 extent. Subsoil, redsand ; peaty in places.
