and this last is in a neglected condition. A noticeable small 

 Manor House is that of Les Augres, which, though prac- 

 tically only a farm house at present, retains the charm of 

 antiquity in fine gateways and arches. 



Both St. Ouen and Kozel still retain their Manorial 

 Chapels which have been well restored, as well as their 

 Colombiers or pigeon-cotes. These last are also to be found 

 on nearly all the other manors. The grounds surrounding 

 the manors at St. Ouen, Rozel and Longueville were very fine. 



The Castles of Jersey are worth describing. Elizabeth 

 Castle in the bay opposite St. Helier's is interesting from its 

 associations with Charles II., but our Castle Cornet retains 

 so much more of its medieval buildings, and the famous siege, 

 not to say its early history, makes it of equal if not greater 

 historical interest. They are both grievously disfigured by 

 the number of dilapidated military buildings in their precincts. 

 The small chapel of St. Helier, perched at the top of a huge 

 rock, lately restored, is unlike anything we have in Guernsey. 

 It was unfortunate that time did not permit us to visit Grosnez 

 Castle, though it was on the programme for the Wednesday, 

 but several of the sculptured corbels in the courtyard of the 

 Museum of the Societe Jersiaise gave a good idea of the 

 character of the remains. The apiece de resistance, of course, 

 is Mont Orgueil. Situated as it is on a bold headland, with 

 centuries of history behind it, no building in the Channel 

 Islands, either ecclesiastical or secular, can compare with it in 

 interest, and the careful restoration which it is receiving at 

 the hands of the Societe Jersiaise, where nothing is put in for 

 which there is no authority, and which is merely a renewal of 

 worn-out or broken parts and not the usual drastic rebuilding, 

 in no way detracts from this. 



A noticeable difference in Jersey from Guernsey was the 

 way the word " Hougue " is used. With us it usually is 

 applied to a slight rising of the ground, generally natural, 

 e.g., Hougue Ricart, Hougue Maingy and others, the only 

 one bearing signs of being artificial being the Hougue 

 Fouque. In Jersey the word seems to be applied to an 

 artificial mound, such as would be called in England a bar- 

 row or tumulus. The Hougue Bie, Hougue Boette, Hougue 

 de Noirmont are all of evident human formation.
