Mr, Lower, in his excellent work on " EngUsh Surnames," has a story of a man who fell into a pit somewhere in Wales, and whose cries for assistance were heard by. a passing stranger,— " Who. are you ?" inquired the traveller.— "Jenkins ap Griffith ap Robin ap William ap Rees ap Evan," was the reply.—" Why, what a lazy set you must be, to He rolling in that hole, half a dozen of you ! Why, in the name of common sense, don't you help one another out ?" was the answer of the disgusted traveller, as he rode away.
