We are very glad to see that a further portion

of Box Hill, some seventy acres in extent, has been presented to the nation. Part of the hill was secured for the National Trust some time ago. The new gift, made with commendable public spirit by Miss Warburg, adjoins the National Trust property and includes George Meredith's favourite evening walk through Juniper Bottom. If some other generous benefactor would buy the remaining two hundred and fifty acres of woodland and primeval turf, the whole hill would be saved for ever.
