APPENDIX. 281 



Rain. 



I am indebted to Mr. D. Ferguson for monthly registers of rain 

 kept at Redcar by Mr. C. C. Oxley, between May 1845 and May 

 1852. 



The average results appear to be 



Jan 1-30 July 1-79 



Feb 0-87 Aug 1-88 



March 1-31 Sept 1-55 



April 1-87 Oct 2-68 



May 1-68 Nov 1-87 



June 2-33 Dec 1-43 



The greatest quantity falls in October, the least in February.

Site of Delgovitia. 



Mr. Still, in the course of careful researches on the lines of old 

 roads from Eburacum toward the east and south-east, has found 

 portions of these roads directed toward Warter (Wartre is the older 

 spelling). In the aspect and history of this place are other indica- 

 tions of its early importance. Roman coins, bronze keys and fibulae, 

 silver rings, amber and glass beads have been found at and near 

 Warter, and there are earthworks of such a kind as to lead to the 

 supposition that it may have been a Roman station. If this were 

 Delgovitia, the Antonine Itinerary would run thus: From York 

 (Eburacum) to Stamford Bridge (Derventio) seven miles. From 

 Stamford Bridge, vid Garraby Street, eastward, and from a point in 

 that street southward to Warter (Delgovitia), thirteen miles. (See 

 p. 241.) 



The Battle of Cattraeth. 



The passage in the 'Gododin' referred to, page 221, is supposed 

 by Mr. Williams ab Ithel to describe a British chief, the son of 

 Ysgyran. 



In the most recent edition of the ' Gododin,' by the Rev. John 

 Williams ab Ithel, the poem is assumed to relate to a contest between 

 the Kymri and the Anglians, aided by the natives of Deira and Ber- 

 nicia ; and Cattraeth is supposed to be on the line of the Catrail, or 

 ' war fence ' between the British and Anglian territories. Page 252.
