The Natural History of Selborne

Mr. Churton came.

Snow all day.

Ice in my chamber.

The walks in my fields are strewed with the berries of misseltoe, blown from the hedges.

A cellar in the back-street Faringdon is full of water.

Peter Well’s well is 36 feet deep, my own 63.  Peter Well’s well runs over: when this is the case, the springs are very high.  This overflowing lasted only two or three days.

Several white gulls, as usual, wading about in the stream beyond Alresford.

The downs are very heavy.
