that it was once an ecclesiastical centre of some importance. A 

 mere cliapelry would not have a graveyard around it. 



There were chapels dedicated to S. James at Camborne, at 

 Bollasize in Bradock, at Goldsithney in Perran-uthnoe, but it 

 is not possible, without knowing the date when they were founded 

 to say whether they are to be attributed to one of the Apostles 

 of the name, or to the brother of S. Winwaloe. 



The Calendars of S. Meen and S. Malo give as his day 

 February 8, but the Calendar of the diocese of S. Brieuc gives 

 June 3rd. The two brothers are, however, sometimes coupled 

 with S. Winwaloe, and commemorated on March 3. Albert-le- 

 Grand gives February 8, which is no doubt the correct day. 



In Brittany he is patron of S. Jacut du Mene, S. Jacut sur 

 Mer, S. Jacut sur Aro, and was formerly patron of Griequelleau. 

 He has chapels at Dirinon and Plestin. 



The Breton historians set down the migration of Fragan to 

 Brittany as taking place in 420. This is too early. We can not 

 place it and the birth of S. Winwalloe before 447. The three 

 brothers belonged to the same generation as S. Samson, who died 

 about 565, and S. Padarn, whose death was between 560 and 568. 

 Paul of Leon was another contemporary, and his death is set 

 down as occurring about 570. S. Cadfan was the son of Gwen 

 Teirbron by her first husband, and he seems to have arrived in 

 Wales from Armorica "between the commencement of the 

 century (the 6th) and the Synod of Brefi," (Eees, Welsh Saints, 

 p. 213). She was first cousin of S. Hltyd, who belonged to the 

 close of the 5th century. 



If we take 447 as the date of the birth of Winwaloe, then 

 we may put that of the twins at 445 or 446. A life of seventy 

 years would bring them down to 515, but this again is too early. 

 The plague mentioned by Gildas and the author of the Life of 

 S. Winwalloe can not be given a date, and it is much more 

 likely that the brothers died about the same time as their cousins 

 Samson and Padarn, and their contemporary Paul of Leon, and 

 that their birth can not be thrust back earlier than 480. 



In Art, James should be represented as an Abbot, with a 

 ship in his liand, and with a star above his head to show that he 

 and his brother had inherited the attributes of the Dioscuri.
