Eteg-ister of the Committee of Sequestration for 



Wilts, temp. Commonwealth, in Wilts Arch. Mag., xxvi., 

 343—391, the late late Mr. J. Waylen i)rinted under the title, " The 

 Falstone Day Book," a copious series of transcriptions or abstracts of 

 Wiltshire Sequestrations, which he had copied many years before from 

 a MS. in " the possession of a professional gentleman at Salisbury 

 whose name I do not accurately remember." The Rev. R. E. H. Duke, 

 of Maltby Rectory, Lines., has recently identified the MS. from which 

 these transcriptions were made as " The Register of the Committee of 

 Sequestration for Wilts, additional MSS., No. 22,085," in the British 

 Museum. It was purchased from Messrs. Squarey & Whatman, of 

 Salisbury, on Uth July, 1857. Enquiries at Salisbury have failed to 

 elicit any further facts as to the ownership or history of this MS. which 

 was probably sold by auction by Messrs. Squarey in the way of business. 

 The transcription made by Mr. Waylen and printed in the Magazine is 

 by no means a full one. There are considerable omissions and the whole 

 is much shortened. Mr. Duke also calls the attention of enquirers into 

 the history of the Rising of 1654-5 to the fact that some of the In- 

 quisitions into the Royalists' estates, not all of them, are to be found 

 in the Index entitled " Special Commission and Depositions Exchequer, 

 Commonwealth, Wilts," in the legal room in the Record Office, and also 

 to the fact that the Letters to Prince Rupert, Additional MSS. 18, 981, 

 in the British Museum, contains correspondence from Wiltshire 

 Royalists.

ffanx Shearwater at Wootton Bassett. A Manx 



Shearwater {Puffinus Anglorum) was picked up in Mr. H. Bevir's field 

 at VV ootton Bassett, after the great storm on Monday morning (Aug. 

 29th, 1910), and identified by me. Smith's Jh'rds of Wiltshire only 

 gives two instances of its occurrence in the county, which is not strange 

 considering its inhmd situation and the bird's pelagic habits. The bird 

 lias been preserved and is in the possession of Mr. Bevir.
