A similar colony is located in that part of Glamorgan called Gower; and the Flemish population, both of Rôs and of Gower, still retain many peculiar customs and words; while they scrupulously keep aloof from the Welsh, each people looking down upon the other, and considering intermarriage as a degradation. I have been told by a friend that Flemish colonies were also located in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. This much is certain: in the last-named county fields are occasionally divided between different proprietors, in the manner known as "landshares," a custom which prevails to a great extent in Gower, and also, I believe, in Rôs. Am I right in considering this Flemish peculiarity? SELEUCUS. In an ancient map of this town, Pembroke (South Wales), of which the language is Norman-French, two districts of ours are mentioned thus: _Le grene_, which is now called "the green;" and _Monton_, now called "mountain." As regards the first, not a portion of _green_ is discoverable; it is a disagreeable street, close to a large mill and sheet of water, with none of the conditions of a country green. I have often wondered at the name, feeling persuaded that there never could have existed such a spot here as would be so called, and was puzzled till I last week saw this old map. Tracing the matter, although no French substantive seems to exist spelled _grene_, the v.n. _grener_ and its relatives afford a solution--as _grenier_ is a granary, and _grenetis_ the mill round a coin: so that I take it for granted, as our _green_ in fact is in the immediate neighbourhood of the corn-mill, that from said pounding or grinding (_grener_) it solely is derived. The solution of "mountain" is not so easy. It is a portion of the town outside the old fortifications, at the _foot_ of a high hill; so never could have been dignified by the term "mountain" from its height,--in fact, it rises but little from the estuary, one arm of which here terminates. The tide here ceases; up to this spot "la marée _monte_." Am I right in conjecturing that _montant_ (pronounced just like _monton_), meaning "rising" as well as mounting, may be the origin of the designation? All the early memorials of Pembroke are either Norman or Flemish, those foreigners having settled here. We have no token of Welsh; perhaps there are not six people in the town who can speak the language. The names of some of the inhabitants are French and Flemish, and it is to be noted that their personal appearance corresponds with the type of their ancestral country. Our parish clerk, named _Freyne_, is a little Frenchman to all intents and purposes; and our street-keeper, _Rushaut_, has all the square stolidity and heavy features of the Low Countries.
