Wase, A. A very small bundle of straw, more particularly a wisp for cleaning a horse. Used also, according to Mr. Cooper, in Sussex. Water-Tables. The side dikes along the road, which carry off the water. Common throughout the West of England. Weald, To. To bring corn or hay into swathe, before putting it, as it is called, into “puck,” which see. Wean-Gate, A. (From the Old-English _wæn-geat_, literally, the waggon-door.) The tail-board, or ladder of a waggon. Well-Crook, A. A stick for ladling the water out of the shallow Forest pools and wells. Called in the Midland and Northern Counties a “lade-gorn;” and formerly “a well graper.” (_See_ Froude’s _History of England_, vol. i. p. 41, foot-note.) Wimble, A. In addition to auger, as given in Wright and Halliwell’s dictionaries, an instrument with which to take up faggots or trusses of hay. Wivvery. Giddy. “My head is wivvery,” is no uncommon expression. To wivver, given by Wright and Halliwell as used in Kent, is more especially employed here of the quivering flight of hawks, particularly of the kestrel and hen-harrier. Wosset, A. A small ill-favoured pig. The smallest pig in a “trip,” to use a West-Country term for a litter, is known as the “doll,” the same as the “nessle-tripe” of Dorsetshire; whilst a pig brought up by hand is called a “graff,” or “grampher,” equivalent to “mud,” in the phrase “mud-lamb,” or “mud-calf,” as also “sock,” and “sockling,” and “tiddling,” used in various counties. Yape, To. Not merely to gossip, as given by Mr. Cooper in his _Sussex Glossary_, but to loiter. To yape about is used very much as is shammock, which see. Yaw, To. To chop, reap. Used of cutting corn, peas, or beans. “Hacking,” however, is generally the term applied to harvesting the last, when the reapers use two hooks, one to cut, and the other, an old one, to pull up the halm.

Subsequent investigations must very much increase them. Still, I trust they will be found sufficient for botanists to generalize from, and useful as guides to beginners. To the kindness of the Rev. H. M. Wilkinson, of Bisterne, I am much indebted, as will be seen, for many new species and localities, as also for the special arrangement of the _Gramineæ_, _Cyperaceæ_, and _Juncaceæ_. The nature of the country will best help us to make the divisions. First, we have the true Forest district, with its heath, and bog, and woodland plants; and next the valley of the Avon, with its meadow-flowers; and, thirdly, the littoral plants, which we will at once take. Glaucium luteum, Scop., Yellow-horned Poppy. Leap. Eaglehurst, 46.[293] Cakile maritima, Scop., Purple Sea-rocket. The sea-shore, Mudeford, 55.
