We could start with the lot that
Milton used the adjective Atlantick

direction on the Indian map, and
come up with the same answer. (1+4)
5. 3.
According to some, this name references
a plant product that you could pop in
the mouth. According to others, the

two things are we talking about? (2)
6. 4.
Some 19th century fictional characters have
lapsed into this precise phrase for a state of

fancy. What? (1)

the water, and no experiments. Identify it, the
place/s, and the misplaced speculation.
(1+3+1)

an important precursor in seeing small may have been the first to spot them.
The man who gave them their Latin name seems to have timed their
ambulation, but is a famous disprover. He noticed something else, which
excited, later others decided was resurrection. Name everybody/everything.
(5)

did lady on the right deputise for on a short trip out in the 1980s, and why? (5)
32. 19. Sometimes looking at a giant but dead tree is to see history. Explain the fuss? (3)
