I noticed that the common earth worms, — usually called angle-worms, and sometimes termed Easter-worms, — were in our family called angle-dogs but not so by the neighbors. I afterwards learned, that "angletouch" was a local name for worm in the little Peninsula of Grower in Wales. (See Latham's Eng. Language, p. 562.) Here was evidently the origin of the "angle-dog"; and I said "Our people then sprung from Wales."
