Old Ingleborough Pamphlets, No. I., by Herbert M. White

(Elliot Stock, 1904), is also a "popular" archaeological

brochure, reprinted from the Lancaster Guardian, and

prettily illustrated.

The Capital of the Yorkshire Wolds, a lecture delivered to the

Hull Literary Club by John Nicholson {Observer Office,

Driffield), contains, inter alia, the writer's note on " bonnin'

awd witch," in Folk-Lore, xiv., 92, and a few other items of

local folklore.

We have also received the first part of the Scottish Historical

Revieiv ; the current number of the Journal of the Royal Society

of Antiquaries of Ireland, now in its fifty-sixth year of issue (a

publication which ought to be searched by collectors of Irish

folklore) ; and the first number of the Celtic Revieiv (Edinburgh,

Norman Macleod), containing an article by Mr. Nutt on the

Critical Study of Gaelic Literature, in which he lays stress on

the correspondence between the " runs " in Irish and Scottish

folktales, orally collected, as evidence of the superior age of the

oral versions to those contained in the Irish MSS., where a

dififerent set of formulas prevails.
