NOTES AND QUERIES. [io s. x. OCT. 17, im

himself had the secret chamber built. If ] do not misinterpret Earl Patrick, and if the chamber is so late, it is not clear why he built it. Most of these chambers were " priests' holes," rendered necessary by Protestant persecution under Elizabeth anc James VI. and I.

The Castle of Glamis has attracted legends from other sources into its own cycle oi traditions. Perhaps some one can suggesl the original meaning of the name of the parish of Glamis. Is it Celtic ? or is it Scandinavian, as in the name of Glam, the vampire thrall of the ' Grettis Saga ' ? anc is " Glam's sight " connected with our " glamour " ? I hope to recover my authority for the Vale Royal origin of the legend of the heir and the haunted chamber, an interesting example of the " bilocated " legend. I heard the Glamis myth about 1862, but the "monster " variant did not reach me till many years later, though OUTIS encoun- tered it about 1848, apparently.

'CHILDE HAROLD' (10 S. viii. 430, 495 ix. 10 ; x. 275). You are quite right : the MS. leaves no doubt that Byron wrote "Thy waters washed them power."

When the controversy to which MB. N. W. HILL refers was going on in The Times in 1873, Mr. Gladstone wrote to my father :

"I refer you to Sterne's 'Sentimental Journey, section headed 'The Gloves, Paris': 'It [the counter] was narrow, and there was just room for the parcel to lay between us.' I cite this as a twin

error, not as an authority Byron seems to me to

have used the language al\vays as a master, some- times as a tyrant.

ANNA, A PLACE-NAME (10 S. x. 268). There is a place called Anna near Andover, Hants, but I do not know any early spelling, or the nature of the locality. Annat is not uncommon in Scotland, Annabich being the name of one of the Hebrides. Jamieson in his ' Etymological Diet, of the Scottish Language ' describes Ana, Anay, as a river island, a holm. In Ireland it is very common and in combination still more so. Accord- ing to Joyce's ' Irish Names of Places,' p. 461 (4th ed.), eanach pronounced " anngh "- signifies literally a watery place, and is derived from ean, water, thus being cognate with the Scottish form. AYEAHR.

CRABBLE, A PLACE-NAME (10 S. x. 269). Here we have no early spelling to help us, and guesses are worse than misleading. There is a place about a mile north of Chester called Blacon-cum-Crabwall, the latter name

also appearing as Crabhall, either of which might become Grabble. In Ormerod's ' Cheshire,' ii. 575-7, there is a manorial history of the place, but nothing to guide us as to the etymology. AYEAHR.

REGIMENTAL MARCHES (10 S. x. 167). Here is a list supplementary to that given by MR. P. LUCAS, but still far from complete. It is to be remembered that each cavalry regiment has its " special " march for walk, trot, and canter ; while infantry regiments have their particular " slow " and " quick " marches. Moreover, in the latter it is some- times the case that the march music differs in the two battalions. (Unless otherwise speci- fied below, the 1st Battalion is alluded to.) 1st Life Guards. (a.) ' Milanollo.' (b) A slow march
