Fines,” ‘Dugdale, of Seend” are continued, with an interesting deed 
concerning the Manor of Bromham Battle, dated 1579. 
Ditto, No. 28, Dec., 1899. 
Mr. Kite continues his Notes on Amesbury Monastery, but he has not 
yet reached the discoveries. He also continues his notes on ‘“ Old 
Lackham House and its Owners.” A deed relating to the manors of 
Bremhill, Stanley, Bromham Battle, and Clench, of 1566 is printed, and 
the various subjects running in former numbers are continued. The 
most interesting note is one on the name ‘‘ Tan,” or “‘ St. Anne’s Hill.” 
Though it gets no further with the derivation, it establishes the fact that 
the word ‘‘ Anne ” in the Wilton Chartulary, “ Anne-Stan,” Anne Torn,” 
** Anne Crundell,” supposed by Canon Jones toindicatea land owner named 
Anne, is really only, as used by the scribe in this document, the accusative 
singular of the indefinite article ‘‘ A.” 
Ditto, No. 29, March, 1900. 
The most interesting contribution, perhaps, in this number is the 
annotated pedigree of ‘‘ Stafford of Suthwyke in North Bradley, Wilts, 
and of Hoke, Dorset,” communicated by W. H. H. Rogers—in which the 
vexed question as to who Emma, mother of Archbishop Stafford, buried 
at North Bradley, really was, receives a glimmer of light from the fact 
that a grant of lands in that neighbourhood by Bishop Beckington of 
Bath and Wells mentions that these lands were formerly held by Emma, 
the mother, and Agnes Bradley, the sister, of the Primate, who assumed 
the name and arms of Stafford as the illegitimate son of Sir Humphrey 
Stafford, Kt. Mr. Kite’s Notes on Amesbury Monastery, with a cut of 
the seal of Lady Margaret Hungerford—The Bratton Records—Quaker 
Records, and Calendar of Feet of Fines for Wilts—are carried a step further 
—and Bishop William of Edington’s will, which was unknown to Canon 
Jackson, is printed in full.

Report for 1899. This report contains the usual account of 
evening lectures, and of field days at Alton Barnes, Baydon, Little 
Bedwyn, Chilton Foliat, and Devizes. In the Botanical Section, Vimulus 
luteus and Galanthus nivalis are noted as increasing, and Muscari 
racemosum as having established itself at one spot. In the Entomological 
Section twenty-one species of Lepidoptera new to the district were taken, 
very largely from the swamp at Chilton Foliat. The Ornithological Section 
reports the Pied Flycatcher as seen at Marlborough, and the Hawfinch 
as breeding—and eating peas—at Ramsbury. The most valuable thing 
in the number is the hand-list of Lepidoptera of the district, compiled by 
Mr. Meyrick—the most complete list of Wiltshire Butterflies and Moths 
existing. There are five photo-print views :—‘‘ On Marlborough Common” 
—‘*The Devil's Den ’’—‘ Alton Barnes Church” —* Alton Priors Church”’ 
[these two have their titles transposed]—and the ‘‘ New Reading-Room.”
