the West Cleddau. Considerable variety characterises
the soil; in the S. it is very productive, and in the
NW. it is excellently suited for barley growing ; but in
the hilly and coal districts it is very poor. Owing to the
violence of the SW. wind there is comparatively little
timber, excepting in sheltered spots. Oats, barley, and
potatoes are the chief crops, all being raised under very
careful farming. (For agricultural statistics, see Ap-
pendix.) Coal, lead, iron, and slate are the only
minerals of the co. having a commercial value. From
the number of English-speaking people in Pembroke-
shire (chiefly through the settlement of a colony of
Flemings, who adopted the English tongue), the co. has
been called “Little England beyond Wales.” It com-
prises 7 hundreds, 153 pars, with part of 1 other, the
Pembroke District of Parliamentary Boroughs (Pem-
broke, Milford, Tenby, Wiston, Haverfordwest, Fish-
guard, and Narberth—1 member), and the mun. bors.
of Haverfordwest, Pembroke, and Tenby. The co. re-
turns 1 member to Parliament.
