Carmarthen had four gates. Some remains exist.

Carnarvon has a North Gate and an East Gate still visible.

Chester has Eastgate, Northgate, Bridge- gate, and Watergate. The last mentioned derives its name from the fact that the tide once flowed up to it.

Con way has three principal gates flanked with towers. They are Forth Uchaf, the upper gate ; Forth Isaf, the lower gate ; and Porth-y-Felin, the mill gate. There are also two posterns, the Porth-y-Adfor and Forth Castell.

Dundee has the Cowgate Port still stand- ing. Nethergate, Seagate, Overgate, and Murraygate are among the names of its streets.

Glasgow had no walls, the outermost row of houses serving as a fortification ; but it had several gates or ports. Names survive in the Gallowgate and the Trongate, where the place of weighing was.

Monmouth has only one gate left. It is known as the Dixton or East Gate, and is " perhaps the most perfect relic of its kind."

In this ancient city of Chichester, of which Camden says, " Foure gates it hath opening to the foure quarters of the world," the names of the gates, the last of which dis- appeared at the end of last century, are yet retained, and the prolongations of the main streets leading to the gates, when they get beyonpl the city walls, are known as North Gate, South Gate, East Gate, and West Gate, respectively.

PRINCE OP WALES AS DUKE OF CORNWALL (9 th S. v. 4, 215). I should have mentioned what these titles are in the reply which appeared on p. 215. They are, in addition to Jarrick, Earl of Cunynghame, Kyle, and Kil- marnock. The first is an older royal dignity than Baron of Renfrew, so far as Renfrew is on record, and the title Baron of Ardmannock s also older than Renfrew, and both Cunyng- lame and Ardmannock are likewise older than Lord of the Isles. Nothing has taken place yle, Kilmarnock, and Ardmannock, and }here is, therefore, no reason why, in what are generally supposed to be, or pass for, official narrations of his titles, they should not be given in full. The Earldom of Kil- marnock was alienated in 1661, by patent, to William, ninth Lord Boyd, but returned to he Prince and Steward of Scotland on the attainder of the fourth Boyd Earl in 1746. The Earl of Errol was created Baron Kil- narnock in 1831 ; but the higher dignity emains with the Prince and Steward. With lue consideration of the peculiar privileges )f the High Stewards of Scotland it is per- ectly certain that the Crown itself, without irst attainting the Heir Apparent, could not ightly deprive the Prince of Wales of these ncient titles, which were borne by his an- estors before they were Dukes of Rothesay nd Lords of the Isles. Yet Garter and Lyon ave presumed to do so. Why? Dairy,

 * hese ancient ancestral titles Cunynghame,
