 APPENDIX IV.

Place-names contained in the first volume of the Register.

The spelling is that of the period. Variants are arranged in alphabetical order, except that the form now in use has, where it occurs, been taken as the head-word.

Parentheses enclosing a letter indicate that it is sometimes present and sometimes absent. Words so enclosed summarize information given in the Register.

In names composed of two words, a dash under the space between them, as in — "Lye greene," indicates that they are sometimes found as one word.

In some cases of material difference between the old names and those of the present day, the latter have been added in brackets.
