_Second Growth of Grass_ (Vol. viii., p. 102.).--R. W. F. of Bath inquires

for other names than "fog," &c. In Sussex we leave "rowens," or "rewens"

(the latter, I believe, a corruption), used for the second growth of grass.

Halliwell, in his _Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words_, has

"_Rowens_, after-grass," as a Suffolk word. Bailey gives the word, with a

somewhat different signification; but he has "_Rowen hay_, latter hay," as

a country word.
