way in which he spoke of his predecessor in the cure of Danby 

 was strongly resented by the surviving members of his family. 

 His suggestion too, on page 177, that Ord's " British Dwellings " 

 on Rosebury Topping may be jet workings, though they occur in 

 the zone of Ammonites margaritatus, and his peculiar ideas 

 regarding the formation of the branch valleys in Eskdale, would 

 have been better omitted. His supposition of a lake occupying 

 Eskdale is, however, very shrewd, and the actual existence of a 

 glacial lake there has been curiously ascertained by recent 

 geological invest'gation. As he once observed to me, "there 

 is latent history at almost every turn in this north-country 

 district of ours," and his readings of this history were usually 

 very correct so far as the light of his time could make them 

 so. As Griffith says of Cardinal Wolsey,. " he was a scholar 

 and a ripe and good one." 



Writing on May 28th, 1891, Atkinson said:— "The 

 Appendix E. — Domesday Difficulties — was written without any 

 intention that it should come in as a section in my book. Indeed 

 I hardly think the book was fully projected. The real occasion 

 was the desire to try and clear up the apparent difficulty both 

 as to Danby itself, and as to Camisedale as well, and I am now, 

 after having sent off my paper to the editor of the Reliquary, 

 taking up and rewiiting the conclusion of Appendix C, as it 

 originally stood." The Cami.sedale and Greenhow difficulty was 

 a matter regarding which I had much correspondence with 

 Atkinson. The paper just referred to was printed in the 

 Reliquary Vol. vi., JVo. 2, April, 1892, pp. 70, et seq. 



In this he mentions how in the Domesday Rerapitulatio 

 Camisedale is placed between Engelbi and Broctun (that is 

 Ingleby and Broughton). This is the actual position of Green- 

 how, which is not mentioned in Domesday Book. But two 

 centuries later, in Kirkby's Inquest, we have mention of Kemes- 

 dayll juxta Greneowe. According to the Domesday Record 

 Engelbi had seven carucates all of which were " King's land." 

 In Camisedale there weie five carucates which were "King's 

 land," three in the fee of the Earl of Mortain, and one held by 

 Hugh Fitz Baldric — nine in all. In the preceding parts of the 

 Domesday Record we find among the notices of "King's land" 

 " M. in Camisedale TJlchel v. car ad geld. Terra ad ii carucas xs," 

 but ill the account of the Earl of Mortain's fee there is no 

 mention of Camisedale, though the entry relating to Hugh 

 Fitz Baldric's carucate is there all right. Atkinson gives reason 

 for supposing that the Earl of Mortain's portion of Camisedale 

 passed to the Meinill family. The Inquest states that an annual
