size and style of type, it exactly corresponds, even to the extent of having 
the heading “ Hundred of Ongar ” continued on the top of each page. 
At the time I considered the copy to be unique, and probably the printer’s 
proof pull of the contemplated fourth part. In November last I observed 
in the catalogue of a book-seller in the South West of England a book 
entitled “ Lambourne Parish, Essex, illustrated by J. P. Neale.” In 
response to a telegram I was able to secure the copy, and upon examina¬ 
tion found it to be a duplicate of the so-called “ History of Lambourne ” in 
the West Ham Library, with two extra illustrations inserted. 
“ An examination of the contents proved that the publication is a 
continuation of Ogborne’s “ History of Essex ” and forms part of the 
contemplated fourth number. 
“ I have made considerable enquiry and research as regards the Lam¬ 
bourne section, but failed to find that any other copy is in existence.” 
Mr. Avery exhibited the fourth part, together with three copies of the 
original book, possessing some special features, from his own collection.

Mosses of Epping Forest.—Mrs. Percy Thompson presented to the

spring-floods, the lake-level rises, filling the sand with saturated solution
