In Essex as 21 to 48 | In Northumberl. as 4 to 35 " Kent 25 -- 60 | " Nottinghamsh. 3 -- 22 " Middlesex 4 -- 12 | " Northamptonsh. 3 -- 48 " Hertford 3 -- 10 | " Derbyshire 2 -- 14 " Sussex 24 -- 68 | " Dorsetshire 2 -- 21 " Surrey 5 -- 18 | " Cambridgeshire 2 -- 21 " Berks 5 -- 22 | " Oxfordshire 2 -- 31 " Norfolk 24 -- 96 | " Gloucestersh. 2 -- 46 " Suffolk 15 -- 56 | " Bucks 1 -- 17 " Hants 3 -- 16 | " Leicestershire 1 -- 19 " Hunts 6 -- 33 | " Devonshire 1 -- 24 " Lincolnshire 7 -- 76 | " Wilts 1 -- 25 " Yorkshire 13 -- 127 | " Warwickshire 1 -- 31 " Bedfordshire 4 -- 22 | " Shropshire 1 -- 34 " Lancashire 4 -- 26 | " Somersetshire 1 -- 34 Now the simple forms Mr. Kemble considers to have been the names of the older and more original settlements with the "further possibility of the settlements distinguished by the addition of -_hám_, -_wic_, and so forth, to the original names, having being filial settlements, or, as it were, colonies, from them."--_Saxons in England_, i. 479. 3. The same names appear in different localities, _e.g._: Æscings in Essex, Somerset, Sussex. Alings " Kent, Dorset, Devon, Lincoln. Ardings " Sussex, Berks, Norths. Arlings " Devon, Gloucester, Sussex. Banings " Herts, Kent, Lincoln, Salop. Beádings " Norfolk, Suffolk, Surrey, Sussex, Isle of Wight, &c. This leads to the doctrine that either one community was deduced from another, or that both were deduced from a third; this being more especially the case when-- 4. The name is found in Germany as well as in Britain. This happens with-- The _Walsingas_ inferred from _Walsing_-ham, " _Harlingas_ " _Harling_, " _Brentingas_ " _Brenting_-by, " _Scyldingas_ " _Skelding_, " _Scylfingas_ " _Shilving_-ton " _Ardingas_ " _Arding_-worth " _Heardingas_ " _Harding_-ham " _Baningas_ " _Banning_-ham " _Thyringas_ " _Thoring_-ton, &c. If all these names are to be found not only in Germany but in the _Angle_ part of it, the current opinion as to the homogeneous character of the Anglo-Saxon population stands undisturbed. Each, however, is found _beyond_ the Angle area, and so far as this is the case, we have an argument in favour of our early population having been slightly heterogeneous. CHAPTER XIII.
