By G. E. Dartneli and the Rev. E. H. Goddard. 295 
deal of information as to our agricultural terms may be found, 
gathered together from the surveys and similar sources. Lastly, 
EE ———————— 
the Glossary of Hampshire Words and Phrases, by the Rev. Sir W. 
H. Cope, is well worth collating with our Wiltshire glossaries, as 
it often throws light on doubtful points. 
From the very considerable amount of material thus brought to- 
gether, supplemented by our own more recent gleanings, we have 
selected as much as the limited space now at our disposal will permit 
‘us to use. In making this selection the preference has been given to 
‘whatever would serve to illustrate or amplify that portion of the list 
which has already been published, but it will be found that the present 
instalment contains in addition a large proportion of absolutely new 
‘matter. Words with which we are not personally acquainted are 
distinguished by an asterisk (*), as before, and the chief abbrevia- 
tions used are:—(A.) Akerman, (B.) Britton, (D.) Davis, (H.) 
Halliwell, (Wr.) Wright, and (N. & S.W.) North and South Wilts. 
We take this opportunity of acknowledging gratefully the assist- 
ance which we have throughout the compilation of this Word-list 
received from H. N. Goddard, Esq., of Clyffe Pypard, to whose 
wide knowledge and long experience of Wiltshire words and ways 
we owe many valuable suggestions. Our thanks are also due to 
Mr. W. Gale, gardener at Clyffe Pypard Vicarage, for the interest 
_ he has taken in verifying and reporting words. 
In conclusion, we would only repeat that any additions and 
corrections will at all times be very welcome, however brief they 
may be. The longest contributions are not necessarily those of most 
value, and it has more than once happened that words and phrases 
of the greatest interest have been contained in a list whose brevity 
was its only fault.
