_Second Growth of Grass._--The second growth of grass is known by different

names in different localities. In some it is called _fog_, in others

_after-math_ and _after-grass_. The former name is common about Uxbridge,

and the latter about Stoke Pogis, in Buckinghamshire. In Hertfordshire it

is {103} called _hugga-mabuff_; I am not certain that this is the correct

spelling of the name, never having seen it either in writing or print. In

Leicestershire and Cambridgeshire the name _eddish_ prevails, I am told,

and hence _eddish cheese_, made from the milk of cows which have grazed

_eddish_. Can any of your correspondents add to the above names, or throw a

light upon their origin?
