* Their cliief town stood on the site of Angers, in the department of 

 the Maine et Loire, 



2 D'Anville says that their chief town stood on the spot now known 

 as Yieux, two leagues from Caen, in the department of Calvados. 



^ The reading here is not improbably " Vadicasses." If so, thev were a 

 people situate at a great distance from the other tribes here mentioned 

 by Pliny. They dwelt in the department De I'Oise, in the district for- 

 merly knowTi as Yalois, their cliief town or city occupying the site of Vez, 

 not far from Tillers Cotterets. 



•* D'Anville assigns to the Venclli, or UneUi, as some readmgs have 

 it, the former district of Cotantin, now called the department of La 

 Manche. 



^ According to D'Anville, Corseuil, two leagues from Dinan, in the 

 department of the Cotes du Nord, denotes the site of their cliief town. 

 Hardouin takes Quhnper to mark the locality. 



^ They are supposed by Ansart to have occupied that part of the 

 department of La Mayenne where we find the village of Jublaiiis, two 

 leagues from the city of Mayenne. 



7 D'Anville assigns to them the greater part of the department of the 

 lie et YUaine, and is of opinion that the city of Rennes occupies the 

 site of Condate, their chief town. 



^ Toiu's, in the department of the Indre et Loire, marks the site of 

 their cliief town. 



^ They are supposed to have occupied a portion of the department of 

 the Loire. 



^^ They probably occupied a part of tlie department of the Loire, as 

 also of that of the Rhone. Then* town. Forum Secusianoruiu, stood on 

 the site of the present Feurs, in the department of the Loire. 



'^ The city of Lyons occupies the site of ancient Lugdunum. It is 

 suggested by Ilardouin, that the name Lugdunum is a corruption of 

 " Lucudunum," a compound of the Latm word lucus, *' a grove," and 

 the CoUic dun, "a hill" or "mountain." 



^- They are mentioned by Ciesar (B. C. iii. 9), in conjunction with the 

 Nannetes, Morini, and otliers, but notliing can be inferreil as to the 

 precise ])osition they occupied. 



^3 Their locality also is unkno\\Ti, but it is supposed that they dwelt 

 in the vicinity of the department of La Vendee.
