well represented by the men in his picture entitled 'Derby Day' at the Tate Gallery.

The national collections are miserably de- ficient of work by artists such as Williams. There are only some twelve entries under Williams's name in the Catalogue of the National Library all cross-references ex- cept one, l 'The Boy's Treasury, 1844," which ought also to be a cross-reference (see 'Swim- ming,' p. 263). In the Print Room he is also poorly represented. The same may be said of Sir John Gilbert's work in books (see 8^ S. viii. 306), though through himself and his brother George his painting is well repre- sented in our public galleries. Of all Sir John Gilbert's work the early water-colour sketches at the Guildhall Gallery appeal to me most. RALPH THOMAS.

LITHUANIAN ETYMOLOGICAL DICTIONARY (10 th S. y. 248). See 'Die Slavischen Fremd- worter im Litauischen,' by A. L. Bruckner (pp. 222), Weimar, 1877, as well as Aug. Tick's ' Vergleichendes Worterbuch cler Indoger- manischen Sprachen,' Gottingen, 1873 - 6 (especially vol. iv., containing the 'Lithuanian Indices'). These two works are certainly to be found in the British Museum.

DUKE OF GUELDERLAND: DUKE OF LOR- RAINE (10 th S. v. 249). Was there a Duke of Guelderland in 1644? Duke Charles, who died in 1538, is usually regarded as the last. He made William, Duke of Cleves, his heir, who, in 1543, had to cede Guelders to Charles V.

The pedigree of Charles, Duke (1624-75) of Lorraine, is in Anderson's ' Royal Genea- logies ' (1736), and might be checked by 'L'Art de Verifier/ C. S. WARD.

An account of Charles, Duke of Lorraine, will be found in the 'Nouvelle Biographie Generale' (Hoefer), 1860, vol. xxxi., where are several articles on other members of this family. E. J. H.

A pedigree of the Dukes of Lorraine will be found in Lesage's 'Atlas Historique, Gencalogique,' &c, Carte xxii. My copy has no date, but the genealogies came down to about 1840. If LOBUC cannot see this, I will copy it out for him, but it is rather long. E. A. FRY.

The Lorraine pedigree is given by Mr. H. B. George in his 'Genealogical tables illustrative of Modern History ' (1904).

OSCAR WILDE BIBLIOGRAPHY (10 th S. iv. 266; v. 12, 133, 176, 238). ' Sonnets of this Century,' edited by William Sharp, contains Wilde's sonnet ' On the Sale by Auction of Keats' Love Letters.' This is found, how- ever, only in the first edition of 1886, which was announced to appear as the February number of the "Canterbury Poets Series." The large-paper 4to edition of November, 1886, and all subsequent editions omit this sonnet. Can any reader give the reason of this?

In the notes the editor says that this sonnet "is printed here for the first time"; but I have The Dramatic Review for 23 Jan- uary, 1886, which contains it, with the title 'Sonnet on the Recent Sale by Auction of Keats' Love Letters.' The two versions differ only in the use of certain capital letters and punctuation marks. STUART MASON.

KNIGHTLEY FAMILY (10 th S. v. 250). In Miscellanea Genealogica et Jferaldica, vol. i. p. 131, it is stated that Elizabeth, a daughter of Richard Knightley by his first wife, married Cecil Tufton, of Twickenham, Middlesex. The pedigree should, I think, be referred to by H. D.

REGINALD STEWART BODDINGTON.

Debrett's 'Baronetage,' 1824, gives the marriages of Richard Knightley 's seven sisters, and of two of his grandchildren, so presumably his two daughters Elizabeth and Deborah were not married.

AFRICAN SLOTHS (10 th S. v. 230). There is little doubt that the Central American "sloths" have a prescriptive right to this popular name, though Purchas, apparently by a typographical error, gives it to the "Antre," or tapirs. But, like most terms of this description, especially when used with a distinctive qualification, the name "sloth" is applied by travellers and writers of popular natural histories to various other animals, amongst which must be reckoned these African ones. Lydekker, in his 'Mostly Mammals,' 1903, p. 314, observes that the African galagos are called " sloths," as well as the slow lemurs of India and the Malay Peninsula. Besides these, an Australian marsupial, the koolah, has gained the appellation ; and an Indian bear (Melursus labiatus) was formerly described as the ursine sloth. Yet another application of the name to the wolverine, or glutton
