'Col. Taylor, of Ballymat, co. Limerick. His daughter Angel married Col. Digby Foulke, son of Col. Francis Foulke by Anne Gifford, of Whiteladies. His daughter Catherine married Barry Denny, M.P., 1697.

William Maynard died $2>- His aunt Angel Maynard, above named, who married Col. Digby Foulke, had two daughters :

DIGNITIES HEREDITARY CREATED, NOT MADE. (See 8 th S. iii. 246.) The same petti- fogging attempt to draw a distinction between the creation of peerages and baronetcies, called attention to in 1893, has been again revived in the account given to

the papers of the presentations at the recent levee, every new peer being described as "made"! It seems needless to repeat that such a distinction has no foundation in the patents creating the two classes of dignities, as all questions relating to the dignity of a baronet are, under their letters patent, to be determined as if they related to one of the other dignities hereditary. Court function- aries might be expected to know their business sufficiently well to give correct information to the public press.

DEVON AND CORNISH SPEECH : "DIMPSY": "TEENING TIME." In Devonshire twilight is universally known as "dimpsy" and "dimmits." In Mrs. Hewett's 'Peasant Speech of Devon ' (1892) the use of these words is illustrated thus : "'Ees sure ! I'll be 'ome avore tha dimmits." *' Dawntee bide out late come in 'ouze avor 'tez dimpsy."

When I was a boy in London in the forties, the half hour prior to lighting the candles was always called blind man's holiday, and was generally accepted as a period devoted to chat. In Cornwall it is generally known as "Teening time, 3 ' as in Mrs. F. Morris's * Cornish Whiddles for Teen- ing Time' (1891), a charming little fairy-tale book for children. HARRY HEMS.

How TO DEAL WITH DIFFICULT QUESTIONS OF PEDIGREE. (See 9 th S. ix. 245.) May I be allowed to add one suggestion to the above note ? It is that inquirers should never omit to send a query for insertion in these columns, pointing out any difficulty with which they may be confronted. If at the same time they offer as a quid pro quo to supply any one interested with a list of all the documents known to them relating to the family in- quired for, that would undoubtedly act as a great stimulus in drawing replies.

1 have reprinted the note under the above title, and will gladly send a copy to any one who cares to write to me direct.

ADELPHI NAMES. The Evening News of 10 February informed its readers that "James Street, William Street, and Durham Street, Adelphi, are to be incorporated under the name of Durham House Street." No authority is given for this statement, and I have not seen any confirmation by other journals. Except to reduce the local dupli- cation of street-names, the change is un- necessary and to be regretted. Surely, if for
