890), pp. 40, 42. It has been rightly observed by Pitre (_op. cit._
      p. 96), that the personification of the Carnival is doubtless the

      Roman antiquity.

  607 A. de Nore, _Coutumes, mythes et traditions des provinces de France_
      (Paris and Lyons, 1846), pp. 37 _sq._ The name Caramantran is
      thought to be compounded of _careme entrant_, "Lent entering." It is
      said that the effigy of Caramantran is sometimes burnt (E. Cortet,
      _Essai sur les fetes religieuses_, Paris, 1867, p. 107).

      (Charleville, 1890), p. 63. According to the writer, the custom of
      burning an effigy of Shrove Tuesday or the Carnival is pretty
      general in France.
