Old Scots March, &c. (Vol. v., pp. 280. 331.).
—I have to thank both MR. CROSSLEY and DR. RIMBAULT for their information regarding the Ports, of which I have willingly availed myself by consulting the various works to which they refer; and I have been fortunate enough to see a translation of the greater portion of the Straloch lute-book. Hitherto, however, I have failed in my endeavours to discover two of the ports mentioned by MR. TYTLER namely, Port Gordon and Port Seton, both of which I am anxious to obtain.

Ecclesiastical Geography (Vol. v., p. 276.).
—Allow me to add to the list of books on this subject, Atlas sacer sive ecclesiasticus, Wiltsch, published at Gotha in 1843.
"Please the Pigs" (Vol. v., p. 13.).
—I am inclined to think that this phrase has more to do with the animate than the inanimate. It is a common saying in Devonshire "please the pixies," or fairies, and this reference is much more likely; as our ancestors were most particular in their superstitious attentions to the requirements of this most mischievous fraternity.
