Mr. C. Clough Robinson, the author of the Yorkshire list of dialectal works, ante p. 109, contributes the following Addenda and Corrigendum, the pages quoted having reference to his previous list :

North-East Strand, page 120, after Song of Solomon, add: Verses New and Old. By ARTHUR J. MUNBY, Barrister-at-law. 12mo. London, Bell and Daldy. 1865.

Contains several specimens of the dialect as heard about Scarborough, and rendered with great fidelity. The longest composition, entitled "T' Moossel Getherers," is most noticeable for its embodiment of idiom and true spirit.

East Riding, page 120. Delete "Holderness" as heading, and follow the Holderness Glossary with:

Nestleton Magna: a Story of Yorkshire Methodism. By QUINTUS QUARLES [the Rev. JOHN JACKSON WRAY, Wesleyan Minister, a native of Sancton, near Market Weighton]. 12mo. London, Elliot Stock. 1876.

Several of the characters portrayed employ the East Yorkshire dialect with much vigour and truth. The way of speech belonging to "Adain Olliver" is unexcelled in its faithfulness.

North Riding, page 117, York Minster Screen, delete name of author, and substitute: By GEORGE NEWTON BROWNE, of Derby (late Secretary to the Midland Railway Company).

INDEX.

BY WILLIAM E. A. AXON.

THE aim of this Index is to give the inquirer a clue by which he may learn all that this bibliographical list has to say respecting the authors, editors, pseudonyms, titles, and subjects of books on English dialects. It would perhaps have been easier to have constructed a skeleton bibliography, but this could not have been so full and suggestive as an index, which is practically a concordance of every word in the titles likely to become an object of research. Thus, under the name of Prince L. L. Bonaparte, references are given to the pages in which his numerous and valuable privately printed dialect works are registered. Pseudonyms, as Tim Bobbin, Jan Trenoodle, Elfin, and so forth, are entered, in many cases, under both names and surnames. Titles also have been registered where they can be distinguished from subjects. Thus the Dorset Grammar of the Rev. William Barnes must be sought for under his name and under "Dorsetshire Bibliography," but his pamphlet on the "Unioneers" is entered under that title as well. It may be safely assumed that any person using this index will know the real or assumed name of the author, or the title of the book, or the subject of which it treats. Under any of

these conditions he will be able to make use of this index which contains about 3,000 references.
