ON THE ETHNOGRAPHICAL SURVEY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. 501 



to Mr. E. W. Brabrook for assistance rendered. The following is the 

 record of the work done in 1896 by Dr. Gregor in his own words : — 



'On April 14 I went to the parish of Kirkmaiden as the guest of 

 James McDonall, Esq., of Logan. By his help personally, and through 

 him, by the help of the Rev. Mr. Cavan, Free Church minister at Dro- 

 more, and the Rev. Mr. Guttridge, Episcopalian clergyman at Logan, 

 twenty-one sets of measurements were obtained, fifteen of males and six 

 of females. On Monday, April 20, I proceeded to the Manse of Minnigaf, 

 -where I was again cordially received by Mr. and Mrs. Reid. As on my 

 former visit, Mr. Reid afforded me evei-y assistance he could, and eleven 

 sets of measurements were taken, five of males and six of females. On 

 Friday, April 24, I went to the Manse of Mochrum, and had the help of 

 Mr. Allan and his daughter. In that parish were got eleven sets of 

 measurements, seven of males and four of females. On the kind invita- 

 tion of Mr. Reid, minister of Balmaghie, I went to his manse on April 28, 

 My stay in that parish produced seven sets of measurements, six of 

 males and one of a female. The Manse of Kells was my next destination, 

 ■which I reached on May 6. There I had the help and influence of 

 Mr. Philip. In that and the neighbouring parish of Dairy only three 

 «ets of measurements were taken as my schedules were exhausted. Fifty- 

 three sets of measurements form the result of this second visit, thirty-six 

 -of males and seventeen of females. 



' As on my former visit I tried to find out those whose ancestors have 

 lived for the longest period in Galloway in the line both of father and 

 mother. 



' In all the districts I visited every opportunity of collecting the folk- 

 lore was laid hold of, and a good deal of it, some of which will prove 

 of interest, was gathered. It may be stated that when natives of other 

 •districts were met with, they were questioned, and what information was 

 obtained was noted down, and the county it comes from was stated. It 

 will take a considerable time to make ready my notes, but the work will 

 be carried out as speedily as I can. 



' The Committee are again under great obligation to all those who have 

 exerted themselves to carry out this investigation. 



' I have to state that everywhere I was received with the utmost 

 cordiality, and the hospitality and true kindness accorded to me by my 

 fcosts and their families are beyond all thanks. 



' I have the honour to send to the Committee the fifty-three schedules.' 



Dr. Gregor has filled up schedules for 46 Wigtonshire and 36 Kirkcud- 

 lirightshire men (total 82), and for 21 Wigtonshire and 1 3 Kirkcudbright- 

 shire women (total 34), making a gross total of 116 Galloway folk. 

 These observations have been tabulated according to counties and sexes. 

 As there is no appreciable difference between the inhabitants of the two 

 counties, at all events so far as the men are concerned, we may describe 

 the Galloway type in the following terms : — 



Men. 



The average height of the men is 1733 mm. (5 ft. 8J in.), the maximum 

 being 1853 mm. (6 ft. 3 in.) and the minimum 1587 mm. (5 ft. 2^ in.). 

 The average height sitting is 905 mm. (2 ft. 11| in.). 



The skin is ruddy ; it is not stated whether there is a tendency to 

 freckle. The hair usually is darkish brown and straight ; the actual
