eared from its tusks to be a wild boar, the
fragments perhaps of a feast partaken of by our Forest ancestors.
{198} One, or perhaps two roads, traversing the Forest from north to
south, are yet wanting for public accommodation.
{216} Amongst the Patent Rolls of Henry III., dated 1238, occurs one
entitled "de forgeis levandis in Foresta de Dean."
{235} At all times obligingly permitted to the Author by Mr. John
Atkinson, the Queen's Gaveller.
{264} This large Oak is called "Jack of the Yat." Yat means gate here.
It is probably 500 years old. It was struck by lightning a few years
since.
{265a} In Sallow Vallets, a quarter of a mile below the Lodge; 90 yards
round the outside of the branches.
{265b} This tree about eight feet from the ground separates into two
large branches, or rather distinct trees; the rent or chasm in the trunk
grows wider, and we have now (_i.e._ in 1847) fastened the limbs together
with iron to prevent its breaking into two parts.
