bury Common, and back to the Lyn under Brendon Barton Wood, '' 

 up over the fields at the head of the cover as if for Farley, down 

 again across the water and on as if for Barbrick Mill, but turned 

 down over Lyn cliff and crossed the hill on the right bank for the 

 sea. They set him up a little east of Lynmouth and drove him 

 at last to sea, where he was soon taken, brought in, and killed. A 

 youngish deer, with B. B. T. i on his one horn (the oft"), the near 

 horn broken off short above the burr. He had been on foot nearly six 

 hours, covering a great distance and giving a very good day's sport. 



September 24///, Yard Down. — Found in Lower Holland Wood a 

 young stag. Up through Higher Holland Wood, Yard enclosures, 

 Beera Wood, Sherracombe Farm to Little Comfort Combe ; up the 

 combe and down beside the wall dividing Stranger's and Acland's 

 allotments to the Barle, down the right bank nearly to Cornham 

 Mills, up by the house and over Titchcombe, crossed the Exe mid- 

 way between Exehead and the road, on by Blackpits to the Brendon 

 road four hundred yards short of Two Gates, and over Lanacombe, 

 Hoccombe, and Badgworthy Leas to the water. Then up over Deer 

 Park and by the head of Stowford Bottom to Oare Common and 

 Chalk Water. Here they divided on a hind and calf, and only two 

 couple held the right line over Mill Hill to Wear Water, where they 

 were stopped. A very fast gallop of an hour and a quarter from the 

 find to Wear Water. 



September 26th, Vinniford Cross. — Drew Heddon Plantation 

 blank and went to Cloutsham. Found a fine stag under Stoke, ran 

 him to Wilmersham Common, back over Cloutsham enclosures to 

 Sweetworthy, and away by Snow's Path, Alderman's Barrow, Mill 

 Hill, Robber's Bridge, and the plantation, to sea by Ivystone, 

 whence we failed to recover him. A very fast run and a splendid 

 stag.
