but latterly for short coasting voyages. Etymologically the word is, I suppose, the same as " trough " ; and as " trug," meaning a trough-shaped garden basket. The term " ketch," on the other hand, has for at least 100 years past applied exclusively to the rig of a vessel, and not at all to its form of hull. It is not to the point here that the term " ketch " is applied now to a rig entirely different from that which was denoted by it in the eighteenth century. An article by Mr. R. Morton Nance in The Mariner's Mirror for July, 1912, describes and illustrates " trows " rigged as cutters, sloops, ketches, schooners, and in other fashions as well. But the ketch-rig has been increasing in favour for some years past on all parts of the coast, and perhaps nowhere more so than in the Bristol Channel, to which the " trows " belong.

HERALDIC : BEARER OF COAT SOUGHT (11 S. vi.410, 475). The nearest coat to this in Papworfch's ' Ordinary ' is : Or, on a bend engrailed az. a plate in chief (Clarke, Baron of the Exchequer, on the authority of Withie's additions to Glover's ' Ordinary,' Harl. MS. 1459).

CHRISTIE OF BABERTON (11 S. vi. 488). I have the Chippendale book-plate of " John Christie Esquire of Baberton " (No. 5825 in the Franks Catalogue). The arms are : Or, a saltire engd. sa. between four mullets arg. (The mullets should be sable, I think, as in all the Christie coats given in Burke's is bad.) Motto : " Sic viresco."

RECORDS OF NAVIGATION IN INDIA (11 S. vii. 9). MR. KNOTT might consult ' Indian Shipping : a History of the Sea-Borne Trade and Maritime Activity of the Indians from the Earliest Times,' by Radhakumud Mookerji, M.A., Professor of Indian History in the National Council of Education, Bengal, 4to (Longmans, 1912).

TOKEN -MONEY (11 S. vr. ' 248). May I place on record that a reply to this query appeared in The Guardian of 29 Nov., 1912, referring to the token - books of St. Saviour's, Southwark, in use in 1559, and to the trial. in 1634, of John Richardson, who farmed the tithes and oblations of " The Chapelrie of St. Margaret's, Durham," recorded in the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, 1906-7, pp. 454-5 ?

ANTHONY WOOD'S ' ATHENJE OXONIENSES ' 1 (11 S. vi. 381, 404, 474). There is little doubt about the identity of Anthony Ettrick suggested by W. B. H. The par- ticulars of his career are given in the recently published Middle Temple Bench Book by Mr. A. R. Ingpen, K.C., and show that, like Aubrey, who was also a member of the Middle Temple, he was at Trinity College, Oxford. To the reference given by Mr. Ingpen to Burke's ' Commoners.' iii. 16, may be added Hutchins's ' Dorset,' iii. 218, 245. C. E. A. BEDWELL.

" EMPLOYEE " (11 S. vi. 146, 411). I think the use of this form is official, though not found in the Insurance Act itself. I have two letters before me : one dated 3 July, 1912, from the Commissioners themselves :

" In practice, when, under the regulations, an employer requires from an employee the current con- tribution card for production to an inspector, the employee will produce with it any emergency cards that may have been used in respect of him during the period."

Another, dated 22 July, 1912,' from a local Excise officer :

" The rate payable by the employer is governed by the rate of remuneration in cases where the employee is over 21 years of age."

CHAINED BOOKS (11 S. vi. 69, 136, 177, 215, 274, 373, 473 ). John Angier, pastor of the Church of God at Denton, Manchester, by his will, dated 27 Aug., 1677 (P.C.C. 112 Hale), bequeaths to Den ton Chapel Mr. Hildersham's ' Lectures upon the One and Fiftieth Psalm ' and Bishop Jewell's ' Works against Harding ' " as a remaining testimony of my love, to be chained up in a convenient place at the charge of the Chapelry," and hopes that others will make additions.

LONDON'S "TERRITORIALS" IN 1588 : LAMBARDE MSS. (11 S. vi. 323, 364, 457).- Yes, the manuscript of William Lambarde's ' Perambulation of Kent ' is at Bradbourne Hall, Sevenoaks. One page is missing. But I cannot trace his own copy of the 1576 edition, from which the second edition was published in 1596. F. L.

REGIMENTAL SOBRIQUETS (11 S. iv. 446, 515 ; v. 136 ; vi. 496). To be quite correct, the title of the 97th a regiment that formed one of the ten original foreign battalions in our Peninsular army was " Queen's Own Germans." HAROLD MALET, Col.
