street, where a portion is very visible, must have crossed in its way to Pennal over Rhyd Uniawn, and so sloping over a low pass in the Hill to the right of Caerunwch over Gwanas towards Aberllefenny and it is still known by name of Sarn Helen. GLYNN. An ancient house belonging to Miss Ormsby. The most correct specimen of the kind of architecture in this Country, about the time of James and Charles the first. It is entered by a building similar to that of Corsygedol, which appears to have been the original Pattern under which there is a Gateway large enough for a Coach, with a hatchway for foot passengers.

The old Mottoes in the walls done over with modern colouring. The House is kept very clean. The situation not a bad one, in the bosom of fine woods, with a view of the Sea and promontory of Llyn, from a raised look-out- place at the Corner of the Court, and I suppose from an elevation behind the house, a view of Harlech. In our way back, charmed with the sudden appearance of Llyn Tecwyn, which bursts upon the sight at once. A very peculiar lake, most completely filling its bason, so as not to admit of any walking round it, of the most [illegible] colour,
