Dear Uncle Charles.

The steep grassy hill-sides here are very distinctly scored with ridges. They run parallel to each other with great regularity, about 3 or 4 ft apart and about 1 ft wide or nearly. They very seldom run into each other. There are worm-casts—but not abundant. I cannot help thinking they are made by the cows—(there are very few sheep)— they are undoubtedly used by them, being very often cross-ridged into those peculiar furrows cows always make in soft places by stepping in each others footsteps. I thought it w^d. be useless to draw them as it w^d. be merely a n^o. of parallel lines.²

We stay here another 4^t. night (till 29^th) in case you (and the post takes 4 or 5 days) should wish to know anything more about them; If not, I need hardly say of course do not answer this.

We are enjoying ourselves exceedingly in this most beautiful place, with splendid weather
