Mr. G. E. Dartnell, AhbottsfieU, Salisbury, and the Rev. E. H. 

 GoDDARD, Clyffe Vicarage, WooUon Basselt, would be greatly 

 obliged if Members interested in the dialect of the county

The Editor of the Magazine asks Members in all parts of the county 

 to send him short concise notes of anything of interest, in the 

 way of either Archaeology or Natural History, connected with 

 Wiltshire, for insertion in the Magazine. 



Churchyard Inscriptions. 



The Rev. E. H. Goddard would be glad to hear from anyone who 

 is willing to take the trouble of copying the whole of the in- 

 scriptions on the tombstones in any churchyard, with a view to 

 helping in the gradual collection of the tombstone inscriptions 

 of the" coimty. Up to the present, about 35 churches and 

 churchyards have been completed or promised. 



The English Dialect Dictionary. — Help needed. 



Professor Joseph Wright, of Oxford, appeals for help from those 

 interested in philological studies, in reading and " slipping " 

 Glossaries and books containing dialect words, in order that 

 the work may be sufficiently advanced to enable him to begin 

 the task of editing the enormous mass of material — weighing 

 about one ton — which lias been accumulating for the last twenty 

 years. The Dictionary is to cover entirely different ground from 

 that of Murray's " New English Dictionary," being confined 

 strictly to non-literary English. Anyone willing to help may 

 obtain full information from Professor J. Wbight, 6, Norham 

 Road, Oxford; or G. E. Dartnell, Esq., Abbottsfield, Strafford 

 lioad, Salisbury.
