MELINDWR (MELIN-DWR), a township, in that part of the parish of LLANBADARNVAWR which is in the lower division of the
hundred of GENEU'R-GLYN, union of ABERYSTWITH, county of CARDIGAN, SOUTH WALES; containing 674 inhabitants. The
situation of this township in the Vale of the Rheidiol is extremely picturesque, more especially at Pont- -,Prep, where
the dark rocks rise on one side nearly four hundred feet above the bed of that river. Through a chasm .among these a
mountain stream issues, forming a fine cascade, and turning a small mill, which can only be approached by a rude bridge
composed of the trunk of a tree. The district is well wooded; and there are some lead-mines. About sixty children are
educated in two day schools in the township, one of them is endowed with £10 per annum, which with £12 from the parents,
is the salary of the master; and the.other partly supported by endowment, and partly by payments from the parents; and
180 males and females are gratuitously taught by the Calvinistic Methodists in three Sunday schools.
