90 In Gough’s edition of Camden the name is given “Careg cowse in
clowse, _i.e._ the heavy rock in the wood.”

93 I have added _church_, for Mr. Munro, who kindly collated this
passage for me, informs me that the C. C. C. MS. gives distinctly
_ædem_ where the editor has left a lacuna.
94 Thomas Crammer sends a dispensation, in 1537, to the Rev. John
Arscott, archpresbyter of the ecclesia St. Michaelis in Monte Tumba
Exoniensis diocesis. (_Monasticon Dioc. Exon._ p. 30.) Dr. Oliver
remarks, “It may be worth while to observe, that when St. Michael
‘in procella,’ or ‘in periculo maris,’ is named in the old records,
the foreign house is meant. But St. Michael ‘in Tumbâ,’ or ‘Monte
Tumbâ,’ is a name occasionally applied to both houses.” It would
have been interesting to determine the exact date when this latter
name is for the first time applied to the Cornish Mount.

96 It was suggested to me that the _opacissima sylva_ may even have a
more distant origin. There seems as little evidence of a dense
forest having surrounded Mont St. Michel in Normandy as there was in
the case of St. Michael’s Mount in Cornwall. Now as the first
apparition of St. Michael is supposed to have taken place in Mount
Garganus, _i.e._ Monte Gargano or Monte di S. Angelo, in Apulia, may
not “the dense forest” have wandered with the archangel from the
“querceta Gargani” (Hor. _Od._ ii. 9, 7) to Normandy, and thence to
Cornwall?
