90 NOTES. 



P. 11, 1. I. Apiago, beo wyrt. The gloss seems 

 merely a translation of apis, as part of Apiago. Cf 

 p. I. 



1. 8. Lahrusca, wingerd. ' Labrusca, vitis agrestis.' 

 Glos. Amplon. 



P. 12, 1. I. For hran we must read hvun. The 

 Durham Glossary has ' Vaccinium, Brun wyrt.' 



1. 8. Astula regia, wuderofe. This Woodruff is baf- 

 fling. Some tantalizing disappointments await the 

 enquirer. One of the things that seemed to me most 

 certain before I entered into this enquiry, was that 

 Astula regia, wudurofe, must be Asperula odorata, 

 because that is the plant called Woodi-uff now, and 

 in German it is popularly called Walcl-Mcistcr, a 

 name which corresponds in sense to Wudu rof, if rof 

 here is the well-known adjective for lordly, famous. 

 But although Wald-Meister occurs in Loidcer, it turns 

 out to be related to 3Kcuf(^ and Swedish Myslia, Mys- 

 kegrds, all which come from moscJius, and refer to the 

 sweet scent ; as also its Spanish name moscatella, a 

 derivative from which has furnished a badge to Adoxa 

 moschatellina, for no other connection, but its musky 

 smell (Grassmann). The Brev. Bart, has this : 

 ' Herba muscata .i. hastula regia, Woderoue ; ' which 

 seems to point to Asperula odorata. 



P. 13, 1. I. Cinoglossa. Confusion for Arniglossa, 

 p. I and 48. 



P. 14, 1. 1. Gerohotana, vel verbena, i.e. Hiero- 

 botana. Pliny xxv. 9 : ' Nulla tamen Eomanae nobili- 

 tatis plus habet quam Hierabotane, aliqui Peristereon, 

 nostri verbenacam vocant.' Cf. p. 5 for Peristereon. 



1. 20. Scirpus, se-risc. This I suppose means Water- 

 rush. In Glos. Amplon, 'Papirum eorisc' 



1. 22. Ulva, grtede. In Baxter's British Flowering 

 Plants the Lemna or Duckweed is called Greeds. 



P. 15, 1. 2. Briitannica, cusloppe. Perhaps for Be-
