Several peaks attain an altitude of 900 ft., and Inkpen Beacon, on the borders of Berkshire, Wiltshire and Hampshire, reaches ro11 ft.

Cropping out from beneath the Chalk is a fringe of the Selbornian—Upper Greensand and Gault—the former is well exposed in the vale of Pewsey, west of Devizes, and along the margins of the vale of Wardour; it forms a broad, hilly tract from Mere through Stourton to Warminster.

Mere, close to the borders of Dorset and Somerset, is interesting not only for its Perpendicular church, but for a medieval chantry, used as a schoolhouse by Barnes, the Dorsetshire poet, and for its 14th Century dwelling-houses.

 Wordsworth, William. 1888. Complete Poetical Works.
this hillock of mis-shapen stones Is not a Ruin spared or made by time, Nor, as perchance thou rashly deem'st, the Cairn Of some old British Chief: 'tis nothing more Than the rude embryo of a little Dome Or Pleasure-house, once destined to be built Among the birch-trees of this rocky isle.
But, as it chanced, Sir William having learned That from the shore a full-grown man might wade, And make himself a freeman of this spot 10 At any hour he chose, the prudent Knight Desisted, and the quarry and the mound Are monuments of his unfinished task.
The block on which these lines are traced, perhaps, Was once selected as the corner-stone Of that intended Pile, which would have been Some quaint odd plaything of elaborate skill, So that, I guess, the linnet and the thrush, And other little builders who dwell here, Had wondered at the work.

Now, gazing across the acres of vineyards and beyond, fields of blond grasses with a lone wind-bent tree silhouetted on a distant hillock, I felt for a moment that I could indeed be looking at Napa in July, with however, one major difference.
It was not until the 1960's that the wines from Down Under began to climb up on top and about 20 years more before they burst upon the American scene, reconceived and reborn, enticing wine consumers with their star, the Shiraz.
Deep colored with a pretty aroma that mixes a bit of spice and vanilla and a trace of plums, this is a well-made wine that is soft and silky and brimming with fruit flavors.

Due to a request of the Thessalonians, a force of 10,000 Hoplites was sent under the command of Evaenetus and Themistocles.

He had refused to live in Meduseld, unlike the other marshals of the Mark and also unlike the other marshals of the Mark, he was yet unmarried although at the prime age of 28.
The people were reluctant to let go of their best riders, for this was the first time they had been mustered for a great war even though the Snowbourn Vale was the most populated region of the Mark.
Another horn was sounded of a deep note from the king and the host launched forth riding to meet the storm of the east - unprepared for the surprise that waited for them.

Worbarrow Tout and Hambury Tout in Dorset are hills overlooking the sea; Dogbury is an isolated rise along the great chalk escarpment which divides Blackmore Vale from the Downs, while Bulbarrow stands at the highest point of that scarp and represents, if anything does, the omphalos of the county.
We think that the Alps are different from the Three Barrows because we grade landscape features by size, from hillock to mountain, a practice introduced quite deliberately in the 1640s and dependant on the sort of familiarity with proportions required by landscape art (OED s.v.

A widely studied mRNA is that for Tau protein, which is located in the axon hillock and growth cone; its localization depends on the well-characterized cis-acting signal (U-rich region) in the 3'-UTR.
Tau is located in the axon hillock and growth cone; the well-characterized cis-acting signal (U-rich region) located in the 3'-UTR of its mRNA is responsible for its localization [8].
HuD protein interacts with this U-rich sequence to form a mRNA-protein complex that is transported toward the axon (axon hillock and growth cone) by interacting with KIF3A, a kinesin responsible for anterograde movement [9-11].

 The Fall Live At Deeply Vale Festival, 1978
I'd not heard this gig before and I was delighted to hear that a tape had surfaced, since decent-sounding recordings of pre-Dragnet Fall gigs are not particularly common.
No, of course not, but that's how it seemed to me. The tape contained no dulled surprises, it is as good as nostalgia recalls; good enough to set the Fall fans chunnering away on their extraordinary website (www.visi.com/thefall).
Yes, here it is. A big fat brash set, courageously poetic and - remember - set against the backdrop of a national music scene seemingly stuck with the kind of Mickey Mouse polemic spouted by The Clash and a zillion dim detractors.

Once it might have been the site of some primeval celestial impact or the memory of an earth-shaking explosion, but the aeons had worn the bowl-shaped crater into a series of steep-edged, rounded hillocks which were now cradled by the steeped mountains surrounding them.
Indeed the very way the hillock rose steeply, than gentled to a near-level slope at its apex, was similar in shape to a human skull.
There was silence in the moonlight, as the mountains themselves seemed to be holding their breath, waiting for him.

The scene of barrenness was here and there interrupted by the spreading branches of the larch and cedar, which threw their gloom over the cliff, or athwart the torrent that rolled in the vale.
Meanwhile, the sullen grey of the eastern clouds began to blush, then to redden, and then to glow with a thousand colours, till the golden light darted over all the air, touched the lower points of the mountain's brow, and glanced in long sloping beams upon the valley and its stream.
As these wound into the vale, the rear of the party emerged from the woods, and exhibited a band of soldiers.

But the destruction of silvan beauty is great when the breadth of the road is more than proportioned to the vale through which it runs, and lowers, of course, the consequence of any objects of wood or water, or broken and varied ground, which might otherwise attract notice and give pleasure.
A bubbling runnel by the side of one of those modern Appian or Flaminian highways is but like a kennel; the little hill is diminished to a hillock--the romantic hillock to a molehill, almost too small for sight.
Such an enormity, however, had destroyed the quiet loneliness of Duntarkin, and intruded its breadth of dust and gravel, and its associations of pochays and mail-coaches, upon one of the most sequestered spots in the Middle Ward of Clydesdale.

But my eyes were soon diverted from contemplating these objects by a red light streaming over the northern sky, which attracted my notice, as I sat on the brow of a sloping hill, looking down a steep hollow vale, surrounded by the forests, above which rose majestically the varied peaks and promontories of the mountains.
I was gazing alternately at them and the valley, when a long succession of light misty clouds, of strange fantastic shapes, issuing from a narrow gully between the rocks, passed on, like a solemn procession, over the hollow dale, midway between the stream that watered it below and the summits of the cliffs on high.
Hill appeared after hill, and hillock succeeded hillock, which I had passed unnoticed before.
