Since revising the proof of this article the Editor has kindly- 

 sent me the following explanations of four of the ahove puzzles. 



p. 1. "Kebbers"= refuse sheep taken out of the flock (Halli- 



ivell's Dictionary). 

 p. 23. "Binding and helyng"; helyng=covering, heal or hele is 



still used in Wilts in the sense of cover, in sowing 



grain. 



p. 30. "Locke and jemose"; jemose is gimmace or gimmall=a 

 hinge. 



p. 30. The Rev. A. D. Hill writes : — " There are three things a 

 berclaw for the pex ' might be : (1) a canopy of silk or linen which 

 sometimes had ' knoppis of golde & tacellys ' ; (2) a pyx cloth, a 

 square napkin with a hole and weighted tassells at the corners 

 to keep it down over the pyx; (3) a 'purse ' or cloth for carrying 

 the pyx, which was sometimes the hanging pyx, when no other was 

 afforded. The tasselis seem to point to (2) ; but might not ' berclaw ' 

 be ' bearing cloth ' ? (See Micklethwaitc's ' Ornaments.') " 



p. 83. "A garnysch of vessell"=a set of vessels, usually twelve 

 (see HalliwelVs Dictionary).
