Abstract
I ENCLOSE some flowers of the common blackthorn, that I suppose to have been snipped off by birds. The bushes were growing in the outskirts of a wood, in a very sequestered situation (near Dunstable). The upper branches appeared to have chiefly suffered. The grass below was quite conspicuously starred with the fallen blossoms. I can hardly think that human intervention had anything to do with it.
