The Natural History of Selborne

Water-cresses come in.  The winter-spring, or lavant, runs from the hanger into gracious street.

On this day Sr G. Rodney, after having been wind-bound for several weeks, sailed to the W. Indies from Torbay.

The earth is well-drenched; streams run; & torrents fall from the fields into the hollow lanes.

The wind blowed-down the rain-measurer.  Wells rise very fast, & are now up to their usual pitch.

Wells now rise considerably.  Bees come out of their hives.  Gnats play about.

Mezereon blows.  Viola tricolor, red lamium, & grounsel blow.  Hazel catkins open.

Winter aconites blow.
