Law. Its replacement by a more authoritative 'glossary' is a matter of urgent priority. (iii) On the historical side, the discussions at the Colloquium brought into clearer focus some of the fields for further research: e.g. the 'common Celtic' background of the laws and institutions of Wales; the structure and legal nexus of penitential discipline; the cultural relations between Wales and Mercia and Wessex; the study of Roman and Canon Law; the political, social, and intellectual background of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. (iv) During the Colloquium Mr. Dafydd Jenkins made the welcome and hopeful statement that 'the lawyer can now say something to the linguist'. There are accordingly strong reasons for carefully considering which themes and topics relating to Welsh legal theory and practice can now be most profitably studied. (v) Our 'plans for the future', as I have suggested, must be co-ordinated if the vital enterprise of giving the Welsh laws 'the attention which is their due' is to be successfully accomplished. I have also declared my opinion that this planning can most effect- ively be co-ordinated by the Board of Celtic Studies. These, then, are some of the suggestions which seem to me to derive from the talks and discussions at the Colloquium. They range over diverse fields of scholarly disciplines and inquiry. Yet no one who becomes involved in the study of the Welsh laws can afford to work in isolation and in ignorance of what is being done in adjacent fields both at home and abroad. It is therefore a matter of first importance that plans should quickly be made for the publication of an annual bulletin or bibliography of works published and of research in progress on early and medieval law and institutions.13 I. LL. FOSTER. 13 Meanwhile, of course, students of medieval Welsh law will continue to consult with profit the relevant sections of, for example, the Current Legal Bibliography and Annual Legal Bibliography published by the Harvard Law School Library, and the Index to Legal Periodicals and the Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals published by the American Association of Law Libraries, New York.
