the south side of Dunkery, and then moved away to Selworthy, 1873. 

 where found a hind in Holnicote Combe. She came down to AUer- 

 ford, then up Lynch Combe to the hill, over the ridge to the long 

 deep combe under Meen. Up out of the combe across the hill, and 

 down across the valley past Bratton Court to Grabbist, and over that 

 hill to water in front of Knowle House. Here fresh found her, and 

 raced her over the meadows towards Dunster, and along the base of 

 Croydon Hill, through the bottom of Longwood into Broadwood, 

 and across the valley to the head of Dunster Park ; through the park

 Dunkery above Wootton Courtenay, across Hannacombe and Bin- 

 combe into the enclosures by Dunkery Gate, but came on to the hill 

 again, and along the fence to the Exford road. On to Alderman's 

 Barrow, where she doubled, but turned away over Downscombe, and 

 by Wellshead Farmhouse down the lane to the Exe at the ford. Up 

 stream a little way and then over the hill to the Simonsbath road, 

 leaving the Gallon House on the right, across Ashett's enclosures and
