".The sail, .as well as the first appearatite; is uniform, with very little divevsity of wood er Water. • Viewed frorn'the Castle, on the hill of:Del voir, the whole country app cars fiat, and the prospect rather extensive than ,agreeable yet,. it grows 'interesting upon 'further examination, and gains in fertility what itloses in v:trietv. " The natural history of such a conotry,may seem of little importance, and contind to a few objects.; but whatever niay be the case with the common observer,. .or the admirer of general views, the natttralkt will certainly incet with much . to engage his attention, andpay his re searches. "This is more particularly true in the depart ment of natural history - which relates - to logy, and especially the division of petrifactions : in the higher classes, of the three lingdouis (the Tria Regna Nature 4 of Liunc)_, little can' be ex-. pected. Our beasts, 'Aids, reptiles, and- fishes, are already described ; and few or none of them can be considered as local curiosities'. Our in sects arc numerous,. more local, anci defined with more uncertainty.' Tire ve: - Er,es or an inland count+ can ttut little en gap our attention ; and in.the vegetable race, the botanist will scarcely expect snore than the places or growth of some particular plants, and a: description of one or two individuals ; the 'minerals and fossils will there fore engage us longer than any other 01 - kt - ,is of natural history ; and of these sonic account shall tie giyen of all the genera, 'with few of the spe cies, and mention shall be 'made of certain va-: _ • " Mammalia of the Vale of .13eIvoir are not perhaps safnciently.distiliguishedby any form or property to merit'a p',2culiar description. The la bouring horses are large and heavy, and theirpre vailing colour i 3 bltek. The cows are of the tad& die size, and of the horned breed: The _sheep are .1.0.5 than those of Lincolnshire ; yet large, and yearly improving from the breed introduced by Mr. Bakewell, of Dishley, a gentleman who it much celebrated for his attention to this part of ruiltl economy. _ " The chace deer belonging to the Duke of Rutland range in considerable .numberi over the Vale and the adjacent parts of the hill country ; yet, through the liberality-of the family, and their regard to the interests of the farmer, they are few er than in former times; when the tillage of the soil was loaded with the heavy. 'expence of night ly watchmen, for the' preservation of their crops. " The remaining animals, which, being ferze naturm, are, yet not considered as common right, are hares and iabbits ; the forther are found plen tifully in most parts of the Vale ; and the latter, of a very fine kind, at the foot, and .long the de clivity' of the bill which leads from the-Castle to the parish of Stathern. " This and the neighbouring hill country are celebrated for bunting, and many foxes are found here; a few years since, two beautiful ones, of the black kind, were turned off from Crostoti Park by the Duke of Rutland, with a view to their as sociating with the common kind and they did so ; but it does not appear to have added any thing, to the variety or pleasure Of the chace. " In the river Devon is sometimes found' the °VAT, but tbii happens ; rarely ; and badgers have been taken, but no often;in the woods of Boos ton and Stathern.. The fitchel, or pole-cat, makes'lts usual de vastation in this country, and, with -the weasel . and ermine, may be frequently Met with. The eream-seoloured mole, a variety of the common kind, )vhich is.mentioned by Mr.Ternidne as inhabiting' hiS lands near Downing, is also found in the.southern part of tile Vale, but softener th parish of Dalby, it particularly possesses one inelosurt;, front which it has altno,;t exchided the black kind, and Made them, though in all the neighbourhood very plentiful, the. scarcer animal in that- meadow. " The smaller quadrupeds in the order of the manimalia, called glires by Linne, which are com mon-throughout the kingdom, .need not be no-. tired as inhabitants of a particular part of it, as they! t are neither found in great numbers, nor are totally strangers. " ;The birds. in this neighbourhood will not long engage our attention. The kite is very com mon in the woods between Beivoir and Stathern, amid is almost at all times gliding over the burrows . . of the rabbitk. Of the pie lind:,.woodpeckers and 'jays are numerous. Time hooded crow is seldom seen, and the hoop is totally a stranger. The kingfisher is more frequent in the southern 'part of the Vale than might be Supposed from its , in land situation, and the smallness of its streams. • The' gallinaceons tribe (exclusive ofdomestic birds) affords only partridges and quails ; pheasants' have been liberated in the woods about Belvbir but do not; increase there. , - " The divisions of nneeres and gralla.:, the wa ter birds of ornithologilts;give us few-species, May be imagined from the situation of 'the coun try,' and its want. of lakes and rivers of alay consi derable magnitude.. ET,1.1 in the numerous order of pas Seres., or satall birds, what is remarkable is rather the absence of the common kinds than the presence of the scarce. The pightjugft4.. is seldom heard ; and the melody of these woods v(ants the addition of, many little warblers, who gladden other groves, awl meliorate the notes of their more harsh and dissonant iiihnbitants. - It bas Leon remarked by some attentive Oh; servers for ninny years, that the swallows which visit the Vale of rielvoir enter it front the north east, and commonly assemble - and rest ti few days about the parish of Foston, in Lincolnshire, be fore their, dispersion through the adjacent coun try. . _ " Of Reptiles.

" Coleopterous insects, of the most common kind in many other quarters of the kingdom-, are here very .scarce; and others, are frequently met with which are considered as uncommon both in the north and south of England; even the scant:- bmxis Melclontha (the common cockchafer) in some years is scarcely .to be met with without particular search, when they are numerous in al most every other country.
