 to Quarme, crossed the water and valley to Nurcott Hill, and down 

 to the Exe under Nurcott Farm, up the water to Larkcombefoot ; 

 and here stopped them, it being seven o'clock and quite dark, though 

 the deer was dead beat. A first-rate run with an unlucky end. 



October 2nd, Yard Down. — Found in Kedworthy Wood at 11.55, 

 and laid on at once. Down the bottom to Hole Water and up 

 Beera Wood to the moor, breaking at the head of the combe at 12.7. 

 Crossing the road immediately at the head of Sherracombe, the deer 

 went down over the big allotments above Kensford to the Barle, and 

 by Cornham brake to Simonsbath, crossing the road facing the house 

 and along the head of the plantation on the South Forest side for a 

 mile below Simonsbath \ beat down in and out to Cow Castle, nearly 

 to Sheardon Hutch, then to the left by Picket Stone to the road 

 from Lanacre Common, and the Exford road (leaving the Gallon 

 House to the right), and over the hill to the Exe, under the Warren ; 

 down stream a little way and over the Warren allotments, across the 

 head of Longcombe (leaving Larkbarrow to the left), over Kittuck 

 to the stream from Acmead, and down to the floodgate at the head 

 of Stowford ; down Chalk Water a mile or more, then to the right 

 over Mill Hill, hounds catching a view and racing him down to 

 water by Oareford ; beat up the stream to Ferryman's Path and down 

 again, killing him just short of Wear Wood, two hours and fifteen 

 minutes from the find. Only four besides the huntsman saw the 

 deer first turn to bay. B. T. 2 and 3. Not a heavy deer. 



October 26th, Mountsey Hill Gate. — Drew Naplock Wood and 

 found a young hind which beat the covers for an hour or more. 

 Then drew Greystone Wood and found, at 2.3, a hind, which went 

 down the valley to North Barton Wood, up to Well Wood enclosures, 

 down the valley again, up again, and finally away by Comer's Gate ;
