ST. PANCRAS CHURCH : ENGRAVING (11 S. i. 408). The engraver, William Fellows, is unknown to biographical dictionaries. So, too, is Robert Williamson, the publisher. But is not " Williamson " a misprint for Wilkinson " ? There was a Robert Wil- kinson who issued publications between 1808 and 1825. Among these was Londinia Illustrata in 36 parts, with 207 copper -plates. He was probably the publisher of the engrav- ing by Fellows. The work of the latter will therefore fall sometime between the two dates above mentioned. Another hint may be of service to the inquirer. St. Pancras new church dates from the year 1821. In Leigh's 'New Picture of London,'- 1823, two illustrations of St. Pancras old and new churches are given, facing pp. 193 and 201. If A. C. H. will take the trouble to compare his engraving with the two illustrations in Leigh's book (a copy of which will doubtless be found in the British Museum), he will readily ascertain which of the two churches is represented in the engraving by Fellows. The year 1821 will thus become a guide for the purpose of ascertaining the engraver's date. W. S. S.

BULGARIAN RIVER TRADITION : WHITE SEA (11 S. i. 246). In 1908-9 there was a discussion, s.v. ' Mediterranean,' concerning the identity of the sea called by the Greeks (Modern) "Ao-7rp?7 OdXaa-a-a. (see 10 S. x. 308, 351, 376, 456, 495 ; xi. 10).

It is perhaps worth noting that, in the Bulgarian legend told by MR. MARCHANT, the yEgaean, or rather the Eastern part of the Mediterranean (see last reference) goes by the name of " The White Sea.'*

Thus we have the Bulgarians added to the Turks and the Greeks as using the name "White Sea."' As to the legend it is riot quite clear why the girl (personifying the river Maritza) determined to go eastward, seeing that such a course would have taken her to the Black Sea, whereas she wanted to go, and did go to the White Sea. The Maritza certainly flows eastward for a long distance, but for the last fifty or sixty miles the course is S.S.W. Probably "towards the sun "' means "towards the south," " towards the sun at noon."

The discussion concerning the White Sea was occasioned by a misprint in Smith's ' Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geo- graphy.' A friend has shown me that dcrwpt (misprint) and aa-irpr) in written Greek may be almost identical excepting as to the accent. I should like to point out that in the Index of 10 S. x. p. " 495 " should be added to one of the references, s.v. " White Sea," and that to make the Index of vol. xi. a good continuation, " White Sea, 10 "' should be inserted, especially as the reply beginning on that page is the most important one of all.

CANDLE AUCTIONS (11 S. i. 404). See also 4 S. xi. 276, 371 ; 5 S. vi. 288, 435, 523 ; ix. 306 ; xii. 446 ; 8 S. ii. 363 ; 9 S. xi. 188, 353 ; 10 S. ix. 388.

I have notes of similar sales having taken place at Broadway, Dorset, January, 1903 ; Warton, Warwickshire, October, 1904 ; Chard, Somerset, April, 1910 ; and Raunds, Northamptonshire, on 2 November, 1889. JOHN T. PAGE.

"CLOB" (11 S. i. 426). As we say Kleiberwand for " cob wall,"' and the older English form was " clobbe wall," OLD SARUM'S supposition that the modern one is corrupted from the latter may claim to be regarded as a certainty. Clob is, then, connected with cleave, O. E. clifian, cleofian; German Kleben and KleibenKleben and Klcben machen. G. KRUEGER.
