* We heard of these limits and at first tried to keep to them but, being chronically passed by a large proportion of cars and even heavier vehicles travelling in the same direction—often with impatient hoots from them to move on—did not long persist.—Ed.

† Latterly (June to September 1985) we have been appalled by the death or unhealthy appearance (especially die-back) of a shockingly large proportion of trees and shrubs not only around us in Switzerland but also very widely along the road and on the horizon when driving slowly from Oxford to Cambridge in England and subsequently in the Banff National Park and Kananaskis Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada.—Ed.
