November 10th, Cloutsham. — Took seven couple, and got on a 1876. 

 line in Old Wood. Away to Nutscale, where eight hinds and a stag 

 were before them ; over Lucott Moor (where the stag left them), and 

 on over Mill Hill to Chalk Water (here settled on a hind and year- 

 ling), and over Oare Common to Deer Park, down to the left to Badg- 

 worthy Water, down it to the foot of Longcombe, up it some way, 

 then back over Deer Park, just as they had come, to Chalk Water ; 

 over Mill Hill and Porlock Common to Alderman's Barrow, on 

 toward Wellshead, short to the right over to Acmead Water (here 

 they jumped up in view), over Porlock and Lucott Commons to 

 Blackford, up the water to Nutscale, and to the left over Wilmers- 

 ham Common to Old Wood. Here the yearling turned down the 

 bottom, and hounds killed it before they could be stopped. Took 

 them back to the line of the hind over Stoke Common and on to 

 Sweetworthy, where fresh found her ; crossing the combes on Dunkery 

 south side to Luccombe Alders (six couple of fresh hounds laid 

 on by the road), back through Luccombe Plantation to Horner 

 Mill, across to Wreacombe, and over Leigh Hill into Hawkcombe, 

 then back and over Leigh enclosures to Whitebarrow Wood and 

 down stream to Stokeford, to the right over Wilmersham enclosures 

 and Common to Blackford, up the water to Nutscale and over to 

 Longcombe Head, over the wet ground and along the south side of 

 Dunkery and into Hannacombe. Down the bottom to the right over 

 Harwood enclosures, and then to the left over Barrow Farm to the 

 valley below, and to Timberscombe and Knowle. Here hounds 

 caught a view and raced her down the meadows for another mile, 

 killing her just under Kitswall. Four hours and forty-five minutes. 

 Almost certainly the same hind throughout. 



December 2>th, Larkbarrow. — Found four hinds at the head of 

 Badgworthy Wood 3 over Brendon Common and to the left over the 

 North Forest (where two of them got out of the way), and round to
