h St.Ebrulfus 1 3. In further support of this identity may be alleged theiretymological connection. Sir John Maclean, in a foot note toMr. Allens paper on St. Briavels Castle, quotes an Inquisition ofthe 10th Edw. II., upon the death of Ralph de Hatheway which,referring to his farm at Rodmore as of the manor of St.Briavels,! names it St. Breauell —a form identical withBreval; u and v being the same, or at least interchangeable, inwriting; as e and ea and ia are in pronunciation. Therefore, Briavel and Breauell are identical with Breval.By abbreviation they all become Brevl. By dialectic change ofvowel sound, Bruvl. By interchange of labial, Brufl. By trans-position of consonants, for the more euphonious collocation of theliquid, Brulf. By the favorite French prefix of e to an initialconsonant (as Stephanus becomes Etienne, and Biscop evesque)Brulf becomes Ebrulfe = Ebrulfus. Even, as by interchange oflabials, Ebrulfus = Ebrulfe undoubtedly became Evroult.^ 1 Ante Vol. Ill, p. 353. i

In the centre of this is thefigure of a lamb standing, and a bird, probably a dove. From themouth of the lamb proceeds the vine branch, this is continuedround from the east, and on the north side are two birds and twofishes and an eel or a serpent. Below this is an ornamental border,the lower portion having circular ornaments (See PI. X.). The ornamentation of Norman fonts is so varied that it isdifficult to explain the meaning. Sometimes symbolical some-times legendary. Here the lamb and the dove seem to indicatechristian symbols,—atonement and sanctification. The fish, thebirds (intended for water fowl), and the eel, seem t
