I conclude this paper with such notes as I have been able to gather respecting the whereabouts of Gray MSS. These notes make no pretence to completeness.

Pembroke College possesses Gray's Com- monplace Books, including a ISIS, of the ' Elegy ' (cf. Bradshaw's introduction, 1891, and Gosse's ed., i. 225-32). Eton has another MS. (the Fraser MS.) of the ' Elegy ' and the original MS. of the Eton Ode. A third copy of the ' Elegy ' and many letters are in MS. Egerton 2400 of the British Museum. The following Add. MSS. at the Museum also contain Gray matter : 5821, 5833, 5842, 15000, 19918, 24503, 26889, 27637, 32329, 32561-2 (Mitford's valuable collection), 36270, 36359, 36817-8, 37683. Stowe 865 contains Robert s's Latin version of the ' Elegy.' Gray's nine volumes of MS. music are now owned by Mr. Henry E. Krehbiel, 152 West 105th Street, Xew York. The late John Morris of 13 Park Street, Grosvenor Square, London, possessed a valuable collection of Graiana, described
