In Fifeshire a variant upon the summer rime in Chambers's ' Book of Days ' runs -as follows :

A misty May and a leaky June Brings the corn to the spoon.

CHAINED BOOKS (11 S. vi. 69, 136). An interesting account of ' The Chained Library at Grantham,' by W. Alexander
 * Smith. will be found in The Bookworm,

vol. ii. (1891), pp. 109-10. From this it appears that the books, not much above 300 in number, are mostly 'folios in wooden boards, some covered with stamped calf, bearing the Tudor rose and crown. They are placed on the shelves with their backs* to the wall, the titles being written across the -fore-edges. Most, if not all, have originally been chained to their places, and about one hundred are still so secured.

HANWELL: BREWERNE ABBEY (11 S. vi. 110). I cannot trace any abbey or place named Brewerne in Oxfordshire. But the parish of Brewood is also called Briwerne or Briwirne. According to Dugdale this parish was in two counties : the E. bit, in Stafford- shire, had a small house of Black Ladies, granted in 30 Henry VIII. to Thomas Gyfford or Giffard (Dugdale, new edition, 1846, iv. 499) ; the W. bit was in Shropshire, and had a small house of White Ladies, granted in 31 Henry VIII. to William Whor- vvood (ibid., v. 730).

H.M. BARQUE ENDEAVOUR (11 S. vi. 131). Although I am unable to reply to X. Y. Z.'s query, he may be interested to hear that four very carefully executed paintings on canvas, evidently depicting scenes on Capt. Cook's third voyage, are in my possession, the frames bearing the following inscriptions : " Morea, one of the Friendly Islands,' " Charlotte Sound, New Zealand,' ' Huahiene, one of the Society Islands,' ' Owhyhee, one -of the Sandwich Islands.' The last repre- sents a white man, clearly intended for Capt. Cook himself, standing on the water's edge, attacked by a crowd of savages, whilst other whites, pursued by savages, are pushing oft and escaping in boats towards their ships. I do not know the painter's name, but that of John Clevely < 1745-86) has been suggested to me. The size of my pictures is 23 in. X 16 \ in., the medium apparently water-colours. H.

BRODRIBB OF SOMERSET (11 S. v. 71, 251, 450; vi. 30, 97, 111). This article completes the Brodribb entries from the registers of Glutton, and gives copies of the memorials found in the neighbour- ing parish of High Littleton. It pro- vides as well copies of the entries in the registers of Mapperton and Netherbury , with some miscellaneous notes upon church and churchyard monuments, wills, &c., relating to the Dorsetshire branch of the family.
