Com., London (Essex and Herts) ; Arch., Essex ; Arch., Middlesex ; Arch., Colchester ; Peculiar of the Arches, London ; Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's. It is believed that he died unmarried, or at least left no children, but proof is wanted.

I have the references to him in the London Chronicle, the ' D.N.B.,' and Webb's * Fells of Swart hmoor Hall.' Any information will be gratefully received, and may be sent direct to (Miss) E. C. ABRAHAM.

KENDRICK OF READING. In The Genea- logist, New Series, vol. xxvii. part iii., January, 1911, under heading 'Marriage Licences of Salisbury,' is the following :

" 1629. Kendricke, Thomas, of St. Giles in Read- ing, clothier, 22, and Mary Finnamore, of North Inkshe, co. Berks, sp., 20. 28 Ap."

In the same publication, Old Series, vol. v. p. 282, there is the pedigree entered at the Visitation, showing Thomas Kenrick of Reading, ob. 1664, married to Martha, dau. to Sir Henry Davy ; their eldest son William, ast. 32, ,11 March, 1664, afterwards created a baronet. This is confirmed by Coates in his 'History of Reading,' p. 384: extracts from the Registers of St. Giles's, Reading :

" Marriage, 1630, Feb. 14. Mr. Thomas Kendricke and Mrs. Martha Davye.

" Baptism, 1631, Dec. 26. William Kenricke, the sonne of Thomas."

The question is, Did the marriage of Kendrick and Finnamore take place ? if so, when did the first wife die, and was William her child ? It is significant that William is described as son of Thomas, whereas subsequent entries (1637 and 1641) say " son of Thomas and Martha." It is just possible that the first wife died in child- bed, and the baptism of William was delayed until after the second marriage.

"North Inkshe" is no doubt North Hinksey, near Oxford, where a family of Fynmores then lived.

R. J. FYNMORE. Sandgate.

" BURGANES." What are the meaning and derivation of this word ? It occurs in North-Country charters of the twelfth cen- tury as a description of tilled land having some special physical characteristic. Is it related to the Irish term boreen or bohereen, a fenced or walled lane, possibly also a " headland " in the arable fields ? It occurs in the forms borrance, barras, and burwains. The last form is frequently found as the name of a messuage. Is the word related

to borran, burian, burrent (a mound, a heap of stones, a fox-earth) ?

Borains, Borganes, and Borganessat occur in the chartulary of Wetherhal Priory.

AN OPERA PASS. A Canadian gentleman whose home is on the banks of the St. Lawrence recently unearthed an ivory disk which had evidently been underground for very many years. Its thickness is about an eighth of an inch, and its diameter one and a half inches, whilst its finish is first class. On one side is well engraved in black letters : " Lady Lucv Eleanor Lowther, Box 44, .2." On the reverse : " Opera 1836."

What were the use and object of this disk ? and, incidentally, was Lady Lucy Eleanor Lowther in any way connected with Canada, either in her maidenhood or after marriage ? L. EDYE, Lieut.-Col.

" KEMENDYNE." A house I know has this name. Can any reader tell me if it is taken from any book, place, &c., or is purely fanciful ? NABOOM SPRUIT.

UNCOLLECTED KIPLING ITEMS.

(11 S. viii. 441, 464, 485, 515; ix. 34, 93, 134.)

I CAN add a few details of other items not mentioned by MR. YOUNG.

For ' My Personal Experiences with a Tiger ' read ' My Personal Experiences with a Lion.' It appeared, as stated, in The Ladies' Home Journal, and begins " Now this is a really, truly tale, Best Beloved." It is illustrated with photographs by the author.

' The Sin of Witchcraft ' appeared also in Harper's Weekly (America) for 17 March, 1900. It contained a portrait of the author, tw T o decorations, and a photograph of Parliament House, Cape Town. It was marred by many misprints.

Among the stories of the Boer War which appeared in The Daily Express in 1900 were two not given by MR. YOUNG : ' With Number Three ' (four issues of the paper) and ' Surgical and Medical ' (two issues).

As regards verse, ' The Dove of Dacca ' is included in ' Collected Verse of Rudyard Kipling,' published by Hodder Stoughton. ' The Last of the Light Brigade ' appeared
