Co Wo dl: 
FRENCH Bioop in America, by Lucian J. Fosdick, Boston 1906. 
This interesting volume of 448 pages contains numerous refer- 
ences to Staten Island. Beside the one indexed on p. 217, other 
references occur on p. 286, 373, 311 (Anthony [Duché] came to 
Staten Island at an early date and removed to Philadelphia a few 
years prior to 1700), 160 (“ Laurentius Van den Bosch, more 
properly Laurent du Bois, ...- was called to minister in. . 
Staten Island”), and perhaps elsewhere. Mr. Fosdick’s volume 
omits, however, many French names occurring on Staten 
Island. As a result of investigations conducted by Mrs. Marie 
Burt Tefft in preparing for the Huguenot-Walloon Tercentenary 
_ Celebration the following list was prepared: Androvette, Beau- 
mont, Bedell, Belleville, Billiou, Bodine, Bonney, Bonrepos, Bre- 
don, Britton, Butten, Campion, Cannon, Casier, Chappelle, Chat- 
teayne, Colon, Corne, Corssen, Cortelyou, Cresson, Crocheron,
