IV. ESKDALE, AT THE FOOT OF SCAWFELL. 



Communicated to me by Dr. Kendall of Coniston, who obtained it from a 

 servant who had learned it in Eskdale, whence he came. 



V. BORROWDALE, KE.SWICK. 



Obtained by me from W. Browne, Esq., of Tallentire Hall. Mr. Browne 

 says of them : — "It is just sixty years (now sixty-six years) since I obtained 

 these numerals from my cousins, the Ponsonbys, at the time that Captain 

 Ponsonby was residing at Barrow Hall, close to the entrance of Borrowdale. 

 There is absolute certainty that they must have been in use there long before 

 A.D. 1818."

VI. CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORLAND DALES. 



Obtained by me from W. Bro\\'ne, Esq., of Tallentire Hall, who says : — 

 "These numerals were obtained as the result of a number of letters of inquiry 

 in the Cumberland and Westmorland dales. They are from a female traditioner, 

 who got them as a girl thirty years since, from a woman fifty years old, who 

 got them from an old woman eighty years of age, when the woman of fifty was 

 about fifteen. The aged lady had known of them time out of mind. Tiiat 

 makes 30 + 35 + say 65 = 130 years."
