With reference to the query regarding the word Pokership (No. 12. p. 185.), I would observe, that the word is correctly copied from the grant, and that it was so spelt in all the previous grants that I have been able to refer to. As to the meaning of the word, I am of the opinion that it is intended to express the office of keeping the hogs in the forest, i.e. Porcarius. Pokership was probably spelt in early times Pawkership, from Pawn, I apprehend; subsequently it was either spelt or pronounced Paukership or Pokership. In corroboration of this view, I would mention, that on referring to the Pipe Roll, 6 John, county of _Hereford_, the following will be found:--"Hubert de Burgo, Et i libæ const. Parcario de heford, xxxs. vd." If, however, Parkership be deemed the more correct reading, still it does not of necessity apply to the custody of a park; it might have denoted the pound-keeper, for, in matters relating to manors, _parcus_ means a pound. With respect to the query about Gib Cat, you will find the subject treated on largely in the _Etymologicon_--I may say, exhausted. By the bye, there can be no doubt that Emerod means Emerald; formerly Emerald would be spelt Emeraud, and the transition is natural to Emerode--Emerod. With regard to the supposed size being an objection to this reading, it will be found that anciently the _matrix_ of the Emerald, which is _tinged_ green, went by the name of the more valuable jewel. T.R.F. Spring Gardens, Feb. 1850. _Golden Frog_ (No. 14. p. 214.).--Sir John Poley's frog may have been a device alluding to his name; I imagine that Poley is an appelative of frogs. I find in Halliwell's _Dict. of Archaic Words_, "_Polly_wig," and in Jamieson's _Scottish Dictionary_, "_Pow_lick," both meaning _tadpole_, and both _diminutive_ forms; and Rowley _Poley_ is closely (though not very logically) connected with the _frog_ who would a-wooing go. The word has probably the same root as _poole_, _puddle_, &c. R.R. _Madoc._--In addition to what is stated (No. 4. p. 56.) on this subject, may be noted, that in the MS. Add. 14,957. British Museum, fol. 149., is a letter from Dr. David Samwell to the Gwyneddigion Society, dated 23rd March, 1791, in which he states, that the result of an interview, held by himself and William Owen with General Bowles, "places the existence of a race of Welsh Indians beyond all matter of doubt." This race is identified with _Padongas_ on the Missouri, who are said to be of a different complexion from the other Indian races, and to have books, which they were not able to read. Is this information to be depended on or not? F.M.
