NOTES AND QUERIES. [io* s. n. JULY 23, im.

direct adoption of the Spanish name pice which also entered French a,spic(and first of a also in " Pic de Te'nerife ") in Furetiere, 1690 and was sanctioned only in 1740 by th French Academic, who cite its use in " pic d Teneriffe, pic d'Adam, pic du Midi." From the pico of Teneriffe, and probably also Pic< in the Azores, " pike " was extended as th common name of a pointed summit ; bu already in 1687 it began to be superseded 03 " peak," and in 1759 even the Pike of Tene riffe had changed to the "Peak." Bu although the history of "pike" in these foreign names is perfectly clear, it does no seem to me at all likely that the native pike: of England were named after the Pike o Teneriffe ; and they show the native vitality of their name by remaining "pikes" when the Pike of Teneriffe and all the foreign pikes, even the " twin pikes of Parnassus, 5 nave become "peaks." And, of course, deri vation from the Spanish pico is quite im- possible for the Middle English "pike" oi the * Wars of Alexander.'

But early mention of the English pikes, to fill up the space between 1400 and 1800, is greatly needed ; and a real service to the difficult history oipike and peak will be done by every one who will send me information on the points asked above.

May I ask that no one will confuse the matter by information about the Peak of Derbyshire? Etymologists now know that that name can have no connexion with pik or peak, a sharp point ; and, in any case, it has no bearing whatever upon my inquiry ; so I hope it will be left out of the question.

On a future occasion I will, with the help of the information received, communicate my conclusions as to the origin of j)ike t and the relation in which the much later word peak stands to it. J. A. H. MURRAY.
