REPORT 1893. 



was a Sea Fishery Commissioner, and later as Salmon Fishery Inspector, 

 he was very much struck with the uniformity of type in the inhabitants 

 of some of these villages. The fishing population often keeps itself very 

 much to itself; and, indeed, he found on the Norfolk coast adjacent 

 villages of fishermen distinctly hostile to one another, each being careful 

 to accuse the others of all breaches of the fishery laws which take place. 

 In north-east Scotland the same type is of course very strong, the names 

 of some of the villages being pure Norse. 



Brandon is the site of the flint industry. 



Of the country round Ormesby Broad, north of Yarmouth, Mr. T. V. 

 Holmes, F.G.S., remarks that, although a railway now runs through it, it 

 must still retain much that is primitive. The Danes appear to have 

 settled there at an early period, as the place-names Ormesby, Filby, 

 Rollesby, &c., attest. Like Thanet, this Ormesby district was an island 

 1,000 years ago, although now connected with the rest of Norfolk by 

 marshes, as Thanet is with Kent. There are probably as many place- 

 names ending in -hij in the Ormesby district as in all the rest of Norfolk. 

 It would be interesting to compare this district with those of Mersea and 

 Canvey in Essex. 



Dr. Jessopp, who is rector of Scarning, East Dereham, observes that 

 all the Norfolk peasantry are perpetually on the move, and it is now 

 extremely hard to find a dozen men in any parish whose great grand- 

 fathers or even grandfathers were living there a century ago. Most 

 pei'manence of settlement will be found in the fens, including marshland, 

 and the coast. 



At Sheringham the inhabitants are noted for their small feet, and were, 

 till recently, almost entirely endogamous.

Mr. Bund remarks that this county has always seemed to him to be 

 the meeting place of two lines of people, the Welsh up to the Severn, and 

 a mixed race beyond to the east.
