Accounts," by the Rev. E- P. Kimblcy ; and " Marriage Licenses of 

 Bath and Wells " are continued from former numbers. There is an 

 interesting note by Mr. E. Kite on the " Bulstrode tomb formerly in 

 Erlestoke Church." This was an altar tomb which stood in the chancel. 

 The chancel was re-built in 1778 by Peter Delme, with windows 

 copied from those of the stables of the house. The altar tomb was 

 then taken down and disappeared. The inscription as copied by 

 VV^illiam Aubrey, brother of the antiquary, gives " Thomas Bolstred 

 and Edith his wife. Lord of this Mannour " ; but no Bulstrode was 

 known as lord of the manor. Now, however, the mystery is solved 

 by the discovery of another copy of the inscription in the library of 

 the Society of Antiijuaries which shows that the words " Lord of this 

 Mannour " should be " Lord of Thy Mercy on them have Pity, Amen." 

 The will of William P)ulstrode is ])rinted in full. " Notes from the 

 Rolls of the Chancery of the Duchy of Lancaster, relating to 

 Wiltsliire" ; notes on the "Manor of Axford " from the De Banco 

 Rolls, by E, A. Fry ;" Release of the Church House, Little Somer- 

 ford"; are new articles in this number. There is a double- page 

 ilbistration of the aniiS of Robert Jason.
