58 t MR. W. G. CI.ARKE OX THE COMMONS OF NORFOLK. 
Ruston and Honing ; and Brisley Green with an area of 170 
acres. At Yarmouth the North and South Denes have an 
area of about 363 acres. The largest of the South Norfolk 
pastures is Wacton Common with an area of 273 acres, and 
the mowing marsh at South Lopham has an area of 230 acres. 
Close by Norwich there is Costessey Common, 270 acres in 
extent, and Household Heath 170 acres, the latter with more 
interesting associations than any other area of common land 
in Norfolk. 
In the accompanying list I have first given the name of 
the parish, then the name of the area, and the number of the 
Ordnance Survey 6 inches to the mile quarter-sheet or sheets 
on which it is to be found. As briefly as possible there follows 
a description of the physiography of the place mentioned, 
indicating somewhat of its possibilities to the naturalist. 
Finally the area is given, accurately where the figures are 
unqualified, but approximately where preceded by “about,” 
having in the latter instance been estimated by means of 
tracings from the 6-in. maps, the chief object being to give 
a rough idea of the size of the common, or village green.
