the Maridumim of the Romans, and under the native
princes the capital of South Wales. On the site of its
ancient castle now stands the county gaol. It possesses
several important educational institutions, among which
are 2 grammar-schools on public foundations, and the
South Wales Training College for Teachers. C. carries
on considerable trade by river and rail in slates, lead-
ore, and tin-plates, besides domestic produce. Vessels
of 200 tons can reach the quay, but much of the former
river traffic has been diverted by the better access to
Llanelly. The salmon fishery is important. C., which
gives the title of marquis to the Duke of Leeds, unites

Carmarthenshire, a maritime co. of S. Wales, and
the largest of all the Welsh counties; is bounded N. by
Cardiganshire, E. by Brecknockshire and Glamorgan,
S. by the Bristol Channel, and W. by Pembrokeshire;
greatest length, NE. and SW., 50 miles; greatest
breadth, E. and W., 42 miles; the coast, which is
marshy, measures about 35 miles; area, 594,405 ac.;
pop. 124,864. The surface generally is upland or moun-
tainous, much of it being waste. The Black Mountains
rise on the NE. border, the chief summit, Carmarthen
Van, having an alt. of 2596 ft. The vale of the river
Towy extends in length about 30 miles NE. and SW.
through the middle of the co. The uplands consist
chiefly of slate or limestone; old red sandstone occurs
about the estuary of the Towy; coal and ironstone are
worked in the SE. Good crops of oats, barley, and
wheat are produced in the valleys, but the principal
industry is stock-raising. (For agricultural statistics,
see Appendix.) The fisheries are of some importance.
The co. comprises 5 hundreds, 3 commots, 81 pars.,
with part of 1 other, the Carmarthen Boroughs (Car-
marthen and Llanelly—1 member), and the mun. bors.
of Carmarthen and Llandovery. It is entirely in the
diocese of St David’s. For parliamentary purposes it
is divided into 2 divisions, viz., Eastern and Western, 1
member for each division.
