Contributions towards a CAiltshive Glossary. 
By G. HE. Darrnent and the Rev. E. H. Gopparp. 
(Continued from vol. xxvi., p. 169.) 
N our preface to the Word-list which appeared in the last 
e number of this Maguzine, pp. 84—169, we mentioned that 
we should be very glad to receive. any additions or suggestions from 
those interested in the subject. The result of this appeal has been 
very gratifying, not only with regard to the actual amount of new

pronunciation. To Sir C. Hobhouse we are indebted for some 
interesting words, amongst which the survival of the Anglo-Saxon

owner, Mr. W. Cunnington, and is here frequently referred to as 
Cunnington MS. This valuable relic was at one time in the pos- 
session of Mr. Britton, as is proved by the notes in his early 
handwriting on the outer leaves, and was evidently the source from
