Chara fragilis, Desv. Nitella flexilis, Agardb opaca, Agardb On the east this division is bounded by Devon, on the south by the English Channel, on the west by the several roads running from Downderry to Trenodden, Pengover Green, Way- land, Upton and Kenwood. A little beyond the latter place the line passes across Twelve Men's and East Moors and joins the Bodmin-Launceston road above Cannaframe. Its northern boundary is the Upper Tamar District. The exquisite beauty of this section of the county is too well known to call for lengthy notice here. Its valleys and glens court comparison with the best in the west of England ; its parks are almost unrivalled, Mount Edgcumbe, Antony, Port Eliot, Pentillie and Trebartha Hall being but a few of the beauty-spots. The only elevations of any significance are Kit Hill, 1,088 feet, and Trebartha Tor, 1,029 ^ eet - From their summits extensive views may be had of a softly undulating country made up of a mosaic of sylvan, moorland, and up- land wealth peculiar to that portion of Cornwall lying south of the backbone. The valleys through which the Tamar, Lynher and Tidy have cut their way are deep and well wooded, in many places remarkably sinuous and with precipitous banks. In its eastern part this division is drained by the Tamar and its tributary the Inny, and in the west by the Lynher and Tidy, both of which rise just within the border-line. Between the Lynher and the Tamar there is a good deal of hilly country stretching from below Callington to Lewan- nick on the fringe of the Upper Tamar District. From the foot of these hills proceed the numerous feeders of the Lynher. From Pensilva to Cannaframe the upper portion of the western division-line crosses a wild part of the eastern escarpment of the Bodmin Moors, amid such elevations as the Caradon Hills and Smallacoombe Downs on the one side and Hawks Tor and Trebartha Tor on the other. Launceston stands on a continuation of the Upper Devonian rocks noticed when dealing 1 57 8
