402 WOODLANDS.

ticularly, are strowed with small plots of coppice; provincially“ syaws 3 which, at once, give shelter to stock, and afford a supply of hurdle and hedge materials: con- veniences, which every chalk-hill district might profit by; yet which no other, than this under view, sufficiently possesses. See IsLE oF THANET, and the WILTSHIREHILLS, in these Volumes; also Corswoip HIL.Ls of GLOCESTERSHIRE; and the Wo Lps of Y ORKSHIRE.

The PRODUCTS, or wares, of the larger woods, are made to vary with their situations. In Kent, Hop PoLEs are the prime object: and the AGE OF FELLING, there, is twelve to eighteen years. In Sur- rey, STAKES, EDDERS, and other FENCING MATERIALS, HURDLES, Hoops, and FAGOT woop, are in demand; and, there, the AGE OF FELLING is seven to ten years: a plan of management, this, which extends, I believe, fifteen or twenty miles, on every side of the metropolis; and has probably been handed down, from the time when wood was its chief article of fuel.
