Dorstone is a parish near the Welsh border, where the people are said 

 to possess blended characteristics of both races. On the peculiarities of 

 Herefordshire dialects the late Dr. Havergal and the late Mr. Flavell 

 Edmunds have published works. 



Bosbury is a little Welsh boi-der town, probably not much disturbed. 



Professor Rhys remarks that in the Golden Valley the folklore includes a 

 story of a vision, years ago, at one of the churches, of a ghostly congrega- 

 tion, to whom it was being announced who should die during the coming 

 year. The time was Halloween, about midnight. This makes the 

 beginning of the year among the Celts, or the calends of winter, as it is 

 called in Welsh. 



In Longtown, which is separated from Llanthony by a high mountain, 

 Mr. Southall has seen what he considei-ed good specimens of Silurians.

Mr. Southall does not consider that Monmouthshire presents a good field 

 for branches one and two of the inquiry. There are some common physical 

 types representative of the district, but the field for the examination of 

 villages is much narrowed by the very considerable migration of popula- 

 tion that has taken place during this century. The agricultural popula- 

 tion have to some extent gone to the works, and their places have been 

 filled by English people. In Llanthony and Cwmysy the population got 

 mixed after the establishment of the abbey in the twelfth century. The 

 population of Cusop, near Hay, is, or was not long ago, a representative 

 one.
