article on Erasmus as a naturalist is based on the following works:— 'The Colloquies,' Bailey's Translation, 1725. 'Enchiridion Militis Christiani' (1515). Nisard's 'Etudes sur la Renaissance' (1855). Seebohm's 'Oxford Reformers' (1869). 'Life and Letters of Erasmus' (Longmans & Co.), for the loan of a copy of which I have to thank a distinguished brother naturalist. By Sir Thomas More: 'Utopia' (English version, 1556). 'History of King Richard III.' (1513). 'Life of Sir Thomas More,' by his Son-in-law, William Roper (Singer's rare edition, 1817). Stapleton's 'Tres Thomæ' (Douai, 1588), and 'The Life and Writings of Sir Thomas More,' by the Rev. T.E. Bridget, S.J., (London: Burns & Oates, 1891).
 * 'In Praise of Folly,' Reeves and Turner's edition, 1876.
