An essay that was later included in the December 1937 volume Down the River.

Bates notes the importance of the vast number of "twiddling little streams" that have shaped the English landscape, and devotes much attention to the names for English villages, hills, woods, fields, and streams.

In John O'London's Weekly (June 18, 1937, p. 433, p. 436, attached).
