CHRONOLOGICAL MEMORANDA. 313 
effected by the discovery of an Ogham inscription on the angle of the 
Dobunni monument from Buckland Monachorum, now preserved at Tavistock. 
' The leading characters of the name Knabarri of the Latin text (Dobunni 
fabri fili Enabarri) are still legible in the Ogham nabarr ; and the Oghamic 
representative of B is thus ascertained without resorting to external proof. 
External corroboration, however, is found abundantly in the substantial 
agreement of the results with those derived from the Irish Ogham, many of . 
which ‘‘ echo” formulas found in Latin incriptions, and in one Ogham legend 
in South Britain. 
December 17. Cornish Telegraph records that, during a few previous 
days, a large shoal of strange fish had been driven ashore at St. Martin’s, 
Scilly. They were supposed to be the Wandering Chetodon, a Ceylon fish; 
but Mr. T. Cornish, of Penzance, in a letter to the C. T., says: 
“T have had an opportunity of examining three specimens of the fish 
which were thrown on shore, and find that they are beyond all doubt 
the Boar Fish (Zeus aper)—a rare but by no means an unknown fish to 
our coasts, or even at Scilly, where one at least has been already taken. 
In shape the Boar Fish is not unlike the Wandering Chetodon; but the 
two fish belong to totally distinct families; and your correct statement 
that the Wandering Cheetodon is an inhabitant of the Ceylon seas pretty 
well disposes of the possibility of its appearance in shoals at Scilly. No 
doubt West Indian shells are, and possibly West Indian fish might be, 
found in our seas; but the case is very different when Hast Indian fish 
are talked of.” 
December 20. Cornwall Gazette publishes a letter from Mr. Christopher 
Cooke, London, on ‘‘ Cornish Minerals.”
