have not here the facility of resort to a British Museum, or to German booksellers. Should your correspondent find any difficulty in effecting collation of his edition with others, I shall be willing to part with my copy for a short time for his use; or, if he will oblige me with his copy, I will collate it with mine, and return it within the week with the various readings of the cited passages.

"Cob" and "Conners" (Vol. vii., p. 234.).—These words are Celtic. Cob means a mouth, a harbour, an entrance. Conners appears to be a compound word, from cuan, a bay or harbour, and mar or mara, the sea; pronounced "Cuan wara," then shortened into Conner. Conna-mara, in the west of Ireland, properly spelled Cuan na mara, means "bays of the sea."

Lady High Sheriff (Vol. vii., p. 236.).—Your correspondent W. M. is informed that in Duncumb's Herefordshire there is no mention made of the fact, that a lady executed the office of high sheriff of the county. The high sheriffs for the years 1768—1771 inclusive were Richard Gorges, William Nourse, Price Clutton, and Charles Hoskyns, Bart. The lady alluded to would be the widow of one of these.
