Boiled a mess of autumnal spinage, sown Aug. 3rs. Nep J. White left us, & returned to Sarum. There is a fine thriving oak near the path as you go to Combwood, just before you arrive at the pond, round which, at about the distance of the extremities of the boughs, may be seen a sort of circle in the grass, in which the herbage appears dry & withered, as if a fariy-ring was beginning. I remember somewhat of the same appearance at the same place in former years.
