wiill. These are situated in the very heart of the heathery tree- 

 less moor, at an elevation above sea- level of from 200 to 250 

 yards. Greenley Lough is about three-quarters of a mile long- 

 by a quarter broad, Little Cow Lough half a mile long, and 

 Broomley Lough broader and shorter. At Tecket, at the head 

 of a fine wooded dene which extends down to Simonburn, this 

 same stream forms a waterfall, spreading out first for 30 or 40 

 yards over a channel of hard rock, overhung by ash and elm, 

 with woodrufi", sanicle, and oak-fern, and cool bright mosses, 

 such as Milium hornum, Bicranwn pellucidum, and Sypmmi rivu- 

 lare in the crevices, and then leaping over a crag some 20 or 30 

 feet in height amongst tumbled boulders. In the dene below 

 the fall grow Riibus saxatilis, Agrimonia odorafa, Carcluus Jiete- 

 rophyllus, Vicia sylvatica^ Crepis mccisc&folia, and Hieraciuni pre- 

 iianthoides, and soon the stream totally disappears from its rocky 

 channel only to reappear more than a mile lower down. In the 

 lower part of the dale we trace the influence of the drier rocks in 

 the appearance or increased abundance of such plants as Knautia, 

 Scaliosa columlaria, JBetony, Thymus, Galium mollugo, Silene 

 inflata, Poterium sanyuisorba, Agrimony, Campanula glomerata, 

 Origanum vulgare, Arabis hirsuta, and Geranium lucidum. War- 

 den Hill, crested with fir- woods, rises to a height of 450 feet 

 above Chollerford, standing out boldly into the angle between the 

 North and South Tyne, and commanding an extensive view in 

 every direction.
