not to be found in Wiltshire now. Wiltshire Tithe Cases and Wiltshire 

 Wills are continued, as well as the records available for the History of 

 Cholderton. Then conies a continuation of the notes on the family of 

 Fawconer, of Salisbury, and various notes and queries, with a facsimile of 

 a curious rough sketch map of Warminster parish in 1588, and a plate from 

 a pen-and-ink sketch of a fine fireplace, with six heraldic coats on it, now in 

 Box House, but said to have been brought from Ashwick, in Marshfield, Co. 

 Gloucester. There is an interesting note, by Mr. Kite, on St. John a Gore 

 and Gore Cross, the "Gare" of Domesday, now a tithing of Market 

 Lavington, recording the opening up of the foundations of the ancient 

 "Chapel of Gore," in 1877, which was found to have consisted of a simple 

 nave and chancel of perhaps the thirteenth or fourteenth century. A note 

 by Mr. Parsons on certain riotous proceedings in Wootton Bassett early in 

 the century, and a few shorter notes, complete the number.

 continued. Then follow the beginning of a paper on Quakerism in Wilts,

 Forest — and an interesting note on Wiltshire PrisoDS, the number concluding 

 with queries on various subjects.
