Wasps somewhat abated. The day & night insects occupy the annuals alternatelly: the papilios, muscae, & apes are succeeded at the close of the day by phalanae, earwigs, woodlice, etc. My tallest beech measures in girth at least three feet from the ground six feet & four inches. It grows at the S.E. end of Sparrow’s hanger, & appears to be upwards of 70 feet high.
