" WHARF." The editors of the ' N.E.D.' will be glad, I think, of the following note.

The sole reference which Stratmann gives to prove the existence of the word wharf in Middle English is to Robert of Brunne's translation of Langtoft, ed. Hearne, p. 310. The passage contains a reference to ' 'Brother- ton on wherfe." I take it to be obvious that the reference is really to " Brotherton on the river Wharf e " in Yorkshire. As a fact, Brotherton is not on the Wharf e, but it is only some nine miles south of it, so that the indication of locality is practically sufficient.

This being so, away goes the sole reference, as indicated above. I beg leave to substitute for it the following instances. Three occur in the ' Liber Custumarum ' : at p. 62, " La rue de Thamise, ne le Wherf " ; at p. 150, " en Famise a Wodewharfe "; at p. 447, "Seint Botulph Wharf e" And at least two in the ' Liber Albus ' : at p. 690, " Fysshwharfe " : and at p. 730, " Wol- wharfe." WALTER W. SKEAT.

HUBERT A. HOLDEN : HENRY HOLDEN. In the life of Hubert Ashton Holden pub- lished in the ' D.N.B.' Supplement C. E. H. states that he published in collaboration with R. D. Archer - Hind the ' Sabrinse Corolla,' " 1850 ; 4th ed. 1890." Without following up all the errors packed into this statement, it is sufficient to point out that it was H. A, Holden's cousin, Henry Holden of Durham, an old Salopian, who edited the ' Sabrinse Corolla.' T. NICKLIN.
