Westminster, December 1849.
_Mars de Saham--Portum Pusillum._
The first appears to be Soham, in Cambridgeshire; described in _Liber
Eliensis_ as "terra de Saham, quæ est ad stagnum juxta Ely." Does "mare"
stand for "stagnum," "palus," "mariscus," or our English "mere?" Can
Portum Pusillum be Littleport, in the same country?
