tismal names occurring therein. Florence is found conforming to the Irish custom by appearing as a male name ; and we find boys burdened at their baptism with un-English forms such as Vulcan and Aristotle.

WE have received through Mr. E. S. Dodgson a reprint of the Christiftdu Doctrinea of Padre Agustin Cardaberaz, printed in 1762, and now re- issued from Bayonne.

DR. RICHARD GARNETT. In common with all literary undertakings, we have to bewail in the death of Dr. Richard Garnett the loss of a loyal, valuable, and trustworthy friend. A better English scholar, and one more helpful to all those engaged in kindred pursuits, the deceased gentleman does not leave behind. In his hands the management of the Reading-Room became almost ideal. No chill formalism depressed the applicant ; the request was granted with a graciousness that enhanced its value. In regard to Dr. Garnett's services to letters it is needless to speak. Eminently a man of his age, he was an active participant in its most strenuous undertakings, on the more important of which he stamped his own cachet.

P. J. F. GANTILLON. (Sea ante, p. 240.) The following obituary notice appeared in The Guardian of 14 March : " The Rev. P. J. F. Gantillon has just died at his residence in Cheltenham. The deceased graduated from St. John's College, Cambridge, of which he was a scholar, and was placed in the Second Class of the Classical Tripos, 1851. In 1852 he became second master of Leicester Collegiate School, holding also, after his ordination in 1856, a curacy at St. John's, Leicester, until 1861, when he was appointed classical master at Cheltenham Col- lege. The latter office he successfully filled until 1885. In the following year he was appointed chaplain of the General Hospital at Cheltenham, and held this post till his death." Mr. Gantillon's first communication to ' N. & Q.' was at 1 st S. iii. 75.
