read to you, read." Mr. A. S. Maskelyne, however, suggests that it is 

 more likely to be a punning legend, and that " lego " means not " I 

 read " but " 1 send " i.e., " What I send to you, read." This seems a 

 much more likely translation. Cf. W.A.M., xxxvii., 159. 



Cold Kitchen Hill. From the Komano-British settlement from 

 which so many objects are already in the Museum at Devizes (Wilts 

 Arch. Mag., xxvii., 279) four Roman coins procured many years ago 

 by Mr. T. H. Baker have lately been added to the Museum by 

 purchase. They are third brass of Vaiens, Crispus, Claudius Gothicus, 

 and a rare, probably inedited variety, of Carausius. 



The Buckingr Stool at Wootton Bassett. Mr. W Gough, 



of Wootton Bassett, points out a curious error in the account of 

 the Ducking Stool, in JVilts Arch. Mag., i., 68, where both in the 

 illustration and in the letterpress the date is given as 1668 whereas 

 the date carved on the chair back is really 1686. 



Charnage, near Mere. Mr. A. R. White, of this place, possesses 



two bronze fibuhu, the bowl of a spoon, and various coins, found 

 recently (1911) on his farm. See also note on " Bronze objects." 



Gold Ring found at GrittletOn. This ring, described on 

 ])age \iy2 of this volume of the Magazine, has been purchased from 

 Mr. Horstman, of Bath, by the British Museum for £10. 



The Hungerford Cartulary. A large volume of three hundred 

 and sixty parchment leaves containing copies of title deeds of the Hun- 

 gerford possessions and of the statutes of the charitable endowments of 

 members of the family. This work was compiled about 1460 for 

 Robert Lord Hungerford and Moleyns. His wife, Eleanor, daughter 

 and heiress of >Sir William de Moleyns, possessed a similar cartulary 

 of her lands drawn up about 1350 ; and the sight of this may have 

 suggested to her husband the advantage of having one for himself. 

 At the beginning of the book is an elaborate index of the different 

 manors referred to, and the pagination is entered in Arabic numerals 

 of very peculiar forms. The Wilts possessions are situated in Winter- 

 borne Stoke, Chippenham, Upton Escudamore, Rowden, Britford, 

 Bramshaw, Chelworthe, Myldenliall, Heightesliurye, Rustinhall, Durn- 

 ford, Teffont, Merston, Berton, Cricklade, Corston, Foresta de Selwoile, 

 Hungerford, Sandon and Charleton, Rowleigh, and Staunton. The 

 religious houses or chantries include Maiden Bradley, I vychurch, Cahie 

 Hospital of St. John, Wanliorough, Eston in Burbage, Edyndon, 

 Hungerford, Ini1)cr Cliai)el, 15ishoi)s Knoyle, Salisbury Cathedral 

 chantries of Robert and Waltci- Ilungrrford, cndownK'nt and statutes
