We have been able to collect but little conceming this member of our fairy family: he seems in all respects to have been similar to the elves, with the exception that while they were represented as living together in large communities, the Redman was an elf of solitary habits, residing in caves, old wells, &c. In some parts of the county he is called Redcap, from the colour of bis head covering. In the southern districts he is called Redman, and described as a ‘small hairy dwarf.’ The only legend we have been able to recover represents him in a light very similar to the ‘Erdmanniken,’ of M. M. Grimm. Sternberg, 142
