In the discussion which took place on the reading of my former paper on this subject, on the 26th of November last, remarks were made which want of time prevented me from answering.

page 50 note a The situation of Camalodunum being placed by Ptolemy among the Trinobantes, they clearly might have possessed Essex, especially as he says that they were more eastern than the Catyeuchlani and other tribes whom he describes, that they were situate at the mouth of the Thames, παϱὰ τὴν Ἵμηνσαν ἔισχνσιν, (which I read Ταμέσης ἔισχυσιν,) and that the islands Tolingis and Counos lay below them, which I understand as signifying the Thanet and Canvey Islands. All this agrees with the supposition that the Thames ceased to be a river, where the respective boundaries of Cassivellaunus and the Trinobantes met, perhaps at the River Lea.
