nop
To answer your edit summary question: When the separate Pages are transcluded in the mainspace, the software will not respect a paragraph break which occurs if one paragraph finishes on one page, but the following one starts exactly on the next page. Adding nop at the bottom of the first page and at the top of the second page fixes that problem. Maxim (talk) 23:57, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * When I was shown nop, it was used twice, as I had mentioned above. I've tested it, and it seems that the template must be on the first page, but it seems that it isn't necessary for the second. So it means you're right -- the second nops are useless but harmless. Maxim (talk) 00:31, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I've been leaving any I found in place but eliminating the following newline, so there is no whitespace between the nop and the following text. This avoids having an empty paragraph appear in the page view. Isaacl (talk) 00:34, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I think I've undid a few of those fixes, because I didn't release why they were like that. I'll try to go and find all of those instances and re-fix it. Incidentally, I can't validate any more pages, so they're all yours. Maxim (talk) 00:50, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks!!
As seen from the Index page, the work on the book has all been finished. Without your commitment to the proofreading, especially your attention to detail as seen by the multiple threads on my talkpage, the book would not have been validated. Thank you so much for you help. I'm going to be leaving a comment at WT:HOCKEY at Wikipedia regarding what other possibilities regarding hockey and Wikisource exist.

 It is a Commandment to Knead Matzo on the Day Preceding Passover'''

מצוה ללוש המצה בערב פסח

Paragraph 1 - The practice is not to knead the matzo used for the mitzvah on the day before Passover until after the sixth hour, which is the time of the Paschal sacrifice. When the 14th [of Nissan] falls on Saturday, we knead on Friday after the sixth hour.

סעיף א - נוהגים שלא ללוש מצת מצוה בערב פסח עד אחר שש שעות, שהוא זמן הקרבת קרבן פסח. ובארבעה עשר שחל להיות בשבת, לשין בערב שבת אחר שש שעות.

 insistency was as to the reality of mind and the validity of concepts mentally visualised, and tested, if not formed, by an argumentation which might be destructive or constructive, severe, stupendous, whimsical, but captivating usually, and always carried forward by a resistlessly creative imagination. What other man ever had such joy in the work and play of his mind as Plato! Here was his real absorption, his real deliverance — that which veritably made his spiritual freedom and his peace. It satisfied him, and he trusted it. His was a great faith. His confidence was absolute in the convictions of his mind, as well as in the certainty of the realisation of its imperative demands. Magnificent as was his dialectic, strenuous as might be its arguments, Plato's faith was pinned to none of them. While willing to follow whither the living and breathing argument might lead, he may be no more serious in his reliance on its procedure or conclusion, than he is upon the truth of the illustrative tales he knows so well to weave. For, as the precursor of all that after him might be named Platonic or Neo-platonic, he is always conscious that no argument can compass the whole truth — of which the processes of dialectic mirror the broken rays. Throughout the Dialogues his parables, whether parables of the poetic imagination or the less obvious parables of dialectic, change and pass; and while he may have been earnest with them at the time,

They went riding their horses home, and the cooper w^ent first and crossed the stream, but the horse of his neighbour, who was following him, shied when he was crossing and threw him, and broke his neck. It was said that the fairies were angry with him, because he would not take the food they offered him,

, Cootehill, co. Cavan.

I have referred to the power of the fairies to change themselves into any form they please. The following story of the "Fairy Midwife" type was told me to illustrate this:

Nurse Tinder was out one day with girls tying oats, when there came a big yellow frog in her way. She gave the frog a tip of her toe, and said: "That you mayn't be delivered of your burden till I'm at the delivery of you." Afterwards in a while, as she was going to bed, there came a knock at the door; and there was a fine horseman on a great steed, as she thought, a red-haired man. He told her to come away with him quick, for his mistress was in her confinement and wanted her. She said: "Where are you bringing me to?" and he said it made no matter, but to come on quick. So she got up behind him on the beast; and she says: "Will you leave me back again, for I won't know where to go?" "Oh yes," says he "you'll be let back." So with that, as they were going on near the castle, as she thought, the red-haired man says to her: "Neither eat nor drink anything when you go in here, nor take anything. She'll offer you money, but do not take it; but ask her to cure your daughter that's a cripple at home. And do not," says he, "mention God's name, for if vou do you will have further to go with the castle."

When the baby was born, it was a man-child; and they were overjoyed, the father and mother; and he came in

Rh like a lord dressed with gold buttons and all things fittingfor a lord; and they brought in eating and drinking, and returned her many thanks. She thanked them, and said she was only after her supper, and couldn't eat or drink anything. "Well," says the mistress, "how much money will recompense you for your trouble when you'll neither eat nor drink." "None, at all, I'll take neither money or any payment; but I have a poor lame daughter at home; and if you can cure her I'll be for ever obliged to you."

The lady went in a great maze and paused for a while. "Nevertheless," then said she, "when you won't take money I'll do what you ask me. When you go home, look in your daughter's hough, behind, and you'll get a big needle stuck in it. One night I was airing my baby's clothes to the fire, and she annoyed me very much, for she blew the dust off the fire and destroyed my baby's clothes, and for that reason I did it to her. Little you thought," says she, "the day you gave the frog the tip of your toe, and wished it not to be delivered till you were there, that I was that frog; and that's the reason you were brought here to-night."

It was well for her poor daughter; for she'd never have got better, only her mother went that journey. She was left back home then, and took the needle out of her daughter's hough; and the girl was supple and happy for ever after.

For the reason above given frogs should never be ill-treated. One does not know who or what may be in that shape.

174 wife opening it she saw a little lad outside, who asked her for the loan of a hatchet and auger. She gave them to the lad, and shut the door. Some time after her husband asked her, did she know who the boy was? "I do not," says she, "but I think he was one of the neighbours' boys." "I hope they'll return the hatchet," says Frank. A fortnight went by, and nothing was heard of the hatchet and auger, and Frank began to be impatient. One night he wanted the hatchet for something and swore aloud that he'd never lend his things to anybody again. As he was speaking there came a tap at the door, and when they opened it there lay the hatchet and auger on the ground, but not a soul was to be seen. Next day Frank's eldest child slipped, in lifting the kettle off the fire, and fell down, and was so badly burnt that she died. He was then fully persuaded that the things were borrowed by the good people from the fort near the house to make the child's coffin, and "Dear knows," said he, "if I hadn't sworn at them, may be they'd have used them for something else." He did not live very long himself afterwards either.

In addition I have noted the following:—

No mention should be made of fairies on Mondays or Thursdays. If you do mention them on those days you should say: "My back to them and my face from them."

If an oat-cake be baked and left for the next day it should have a piece broken out of it, and should not remain whole, because if the fairies came in the night and saw a whole cake they would surely take it, but they would not touch a broken one, "or take your leavings." This has now come to be applied to all cakes. Many of the old people used to leave potatoes ready cooked and

 Rh pieces of bread for them of a night. In the morning these were given to the fowls and never eaten by the people of the house, because since it is, as it were, the spiritual part of the food that is taken, it would not be known whether the fairies had touched it.

If milk be spilt no annoyance should be expressed, but you should say: "There's a dry heart waiting for it," since the Good People may have been Avanting it, and caused it to be spilt.

Should one come out of a house at night whilst eating, a portion should be thrown on the ground for the fairies.

I have referred above to the belief of the peasantry that the fairies are also inhabitants of the water as well as of the land. There are several local legends connected with Lough Allen which represent it as peopled by beings of a fairy nature. The following is one of these: —

Legend of Lough Allen.

There was a gentleman one time fishing on Lough Allen, himself and his boy. The lake was pure calm, but about the middle of the day he looked out before him, and he saw a great wave rising. As the wave was getting near them it was getting bigger and bigger; and they were greatly alarmed, and he did not know what to do. The gentleman in his trouble and fear took a dart he had in the boat and flung it with might and main at the giant wave. No sooner nor he did the lake became as calm as a bog-hole. The gentleman found himself greatly fatigued, and struck for the shore, and as he landed on the shore he found he was hardly able to walk; so when he came to his own house that was over the lake on the hill, his mother asked him was he ill? and he said not, but that he was very fatigued, and that he'd go to bed for a while; "and if anybody comes in enquiring for me, tell them I'm out;" for he wanted to rest.

176 He wasn't very long in bed when a young woman who wasn't known in the neighbourhood, came in, and asked the woman of the house where was her son; and she said he was out. "Oh, no," says she, "for he's in his bed." "He is not," says the mother. "Indeed he is," says the young woman; and she says, "if you please tell him to get up, for that I want him, for I cannot go back without him." So the old woman went up and wakened her son, and he came down and asked the young woman what did she want.

She says: "Weren't you out fishing to-day on the lake? Do you remember the dart you flung at the big wave?"

"I do," says he.

"That's in my mistress's forehead," says she, "and nobody can take it out but your two hands; and if you do not come she will die before the sun sets, for nothing can take it out of her head but you; and if you come I promise to see you all right, safe and sound, back to your own home. I promise that on my knees," says she.

So the gentleman set off; and he travelled on, and he never saw a lake till he came back again, but he went on a beautiful road the whole way till he came to a palace at the bottom of the lake. His mother never left from the door till she saw them descend to the bottom of the lake.

As he entered the great hall he saw the queen sitting on her throne, and the dart in her forehead; and she welcomed him beneath the lake. She says: "You remember you were fishing to-day? You remember the giant wave that came to wreck your small boat?"' "I do," says the gentleman. "Well, that wave was me," says she, "for I fell in love with you and thought I would have you in this happy home with me, and be my prince and lover for ever and a day; and when you saw the wave coming you were so frightened that you flung the dart with rage and might at it, and that dart sank in my forehead as you plainly see; and nothing can take it out but your own two hands, but be sure

 Rh to bring it at the first pluck, for you will not get the second, for I will die before the sun sets if you don’t bring it at the first pluck.”

So he grasped the dart tightly, and swept it at the first pluck from her forehead.

“Now,” she says, “leave your hand on the wound, and it shall not bleed, and never shall there be a mark on it;” and he did so.

“What is your request?” says she.

“Nothing,” says he.

“You must have some request,” says she. “Do you require gold?” “No,” he says.

“Well, you must have some request and name it.”

“All the request I’ll ask of you is that anybody of my name, if they sailed across the lake in a washing tub, would not be drowned.” So it was granted, and the queen reached him her jewelled hand, and bid him adieu, and told the woman to leave him high and dry at his own home; and so she did.

Ever since, while the name of him was to be had, he could sail in a pigin, and that was less nor a washing tub, and be safe.

Another story told of this lake is of Taylor McAniff, who was one day taking potatoes across in a boat, when a woman put up her head and told him not to go that way anymore with his potatoes, for that they were dirtying the clothes she had on her lines; and if he didn’t take another route he’d mind it; and you may be sure he did.

Bewitched Butter.

I have already given (Folk-Lore, vol. iv., p. 180, and vol. v., p. 184) several tales relative to the superstition that persons by aid of witchcraft can take the butter from

 178 their neighbours' milk. I have obtained the following additional notes under this head from John Ford of Kilclare townland, Kiltubbrid parish:—

One day a woman came to a house where churning was going on, and asked for a drink of water. It was given her; and as she was leaving she took a handful of salt from a plate on the table, where it stood ready to salt the butter, and went away on her knees from the door, dropping a pinch of salt in each cow-track, and uttering a cry as she went. The people of the house lost their butter during that year. To get it back they asked a man of the place who had a charm, to come. He put a wooden trencher on a stone in the dairy, and began to churn. No butter came. He did this three times, and on the third time none came, but when he entered the dairy, there were three small rolls (jf butter about one inch long on the trencher. These he put in the churn, and went on churning; and from that out the butter was returned to the house.

It is usual to refuse a light, even for a pipe, or even to give away anything out of a house, where churning is going on.

Should a man wish to take away butter from a neighbour, let him borrow his churn on May Day, throw a silver piece into the bottom of the churn, and churn. Then, on returning the churn, its owner will get no butter from it that year; but his butter will go to him who borrowed the churn.

St. Martins Day, 11th November.

It is an almost universal custom in the district on St. Martin's Day to kill some animal in his honour.

The actual practice varies slightly. In one case, a hen is killed, and the blood allowed to drip in the four corners of the kitchen. In another, it is sprinkled round the room, while out Drumkeeran-way the blood is simply spilt

 180 A child, as soon as possible after birth, is turned three times over, "In the Name, &c."

A woman cannot be delivered if there is anything in the room, such as a press, which is locked.

If the umbilical cord, when it dries on a child, fall to the ground, the child will suffer from incontinence of urine. This may be cured by boiling a shrew-mouse in milk and giving the milk to the child to drink.

(The foregoing were communicated to me by a nurse who had noticed them in the course of her work amongst the people in the parish of Kiltoghert.)

The following are contributed by Mary Carty of Drumkeeran:—

If a woman about to become a mother sees a hare, the child will have a hare-lip, unless the woman immediately tear her petticoat. If she be accompanied by a man, and he can catch the hare and cut off its "scutty" (tail) all will be well.

A cradle must be borrowed for the first child after marriage.

Marriage.

After marriage the bride seldom goes home with her husband the same day, but often remains in her father's house for a week or more. Then the groomsman goes for her, and brings her to her new home; and once there she may not return to her father's house for a whole month, or she will have bad luck.

The bride is given away by the groomsman, and not by her father; and the parents seldom go to the church or chapel.

The fortune a man gets with his wife goes to form a wedding dower for his sister (if he has one), and is not considered to be necessarily the property of the newly-married couple.

 Rh and covered up with turf-mould, or any other available dust. The beast killed may be of any species, fowl, duck, goose, or even a kid; very rarely more valuable animals have been slain. A story is current of a man who, having nothing else, killed his only cow in honour of the saint, who rewarded him by increasing his riches in the following year, so that when St. Martin's Day came round again, he was the possessor of many beasts. Then in his plenty, he grudged even a fowl, and by the following nth November was as poor as ever he was.

In killing the victim they take it in their hands and slay it, saying: "I kill this [hen] in honour of St. Martin." The animal or bird so killed is always eaten by the family.

In this same connection it may be noted that when a family take possession of a house for the first time, a feast is given, and a hen (or something) is killed, and the blood sprinkled about for luck.

It would be interesting to know whether this honouring of St. Martin is an ancient practice, or whether it is a late explanation of a Samhain custom—kept on old All Souls' Day.

Birth.

The first water in which a child is washed should be burnt, or any water used by the nurse.

A man is not allowed to take fire from a house where a woman is sick.

It is considered lucky for the woman to have something on belonging to the husband, as a necktie, &c.

Some women wear a cord, called St. Francis' Cord, round the waist, since no one would die in childbed who wore one.

A little bottle of holywater is hung up on the bed; the water is to be thrown over the room either by the husband or some woman whose last birth was a boy.

 Rh Death.

When a corpse is in a house, the clocks should be stopped and looking-glasses turned. If a cat or dog cross a corpse when it is laid out, the animal must be killed.

The water, towel, soap, etc., used for washing a dead body are always thrown at the foot of some bush, and pushed in beneath it, so that they may rot away and not be used.

It is considered unlucky for a person to die on feathers. When, therefore, one is dying, he is lifted off on to a small straw bed. This after death used to be taken up to the top of a hill and set on fire (apparently at night); and the neighbours would then know that a death had taken place. A funeral is always taken by the longest possible road to the graveyard.

Cures &c.

For a pain in the back.—Take the butt of a candle used at a wake, light it, and pass it three times round you.

For epilepsy.—Take a crooked sixpence, a harrow-pin, a shirt (or shift), a hank of yarn; cut a little from the top of each finger and thumb, and the tops of the hair, and bury the whole under the spot where the sufferer fell; and he will never be afflicted again.

For ringworm.—Immediately a child is born, if a worm be placed in its hand it will have the power to cure ringworm. (This applies to any child; it is only the seventh son who can cure evil). In the cure for ringworm, a cake is made, unknown to the person afflicted, and given him to eat in three bites. A plaster is also made of hen's excrement, the bark of ash (?) and tobacco; and the cure must be done on Monday or Thursday.

To prevent fever from spreading.—All the fires on the townland, and the two adjoining (one on each side), would be put out. Then the men of the three townlands would come to one house, and get two large blocks of wood.

This would prevent the fever from spreading.

of Kiklare, whose informant was an old woman.

Against witchcraft on May morning.—The first smoke from a chimney on May morning is apt to be used by witches for bringing bad luck on a house. This may be guarded against in the following way:—On May eve, get a bunch of rowan leaves, and tie it up the chimney to dry, then on May morn, light this, and let that be the first smoke to go out of the chimney; for the witches can do nothing with it.

Miscellanea.

Second marriage.—If a widower remarries, the second wife may not be brought, on entering her new home for the first time, through the doorway by which the first was carried out; for if the door be opened then, the spirit of the first wife must go out, and will meet the second wife and do her some harm. She must therefore be brought in through the other door of the house, or through the window. The dead woman's spirit will then continue in the house, and do no harm to the new comer.

Hair cuttings.—The Drumkeeran folk say that all cuttings from one's hair should be carefully burnt, as, if the fairies get hold of them, they can work one harm. The same applies to nail-cuttings. Also, if hair-cuttings are thrown away, the owner will be required after death to travel everywhere in search of them.

A different version is given at Kiltubbrid. There it is said that one should carefully keep every bit of hair cut

 Rh because on the Day of Judgement one "will be weighed against the sins committed in the flesh, and one's very hair cuttings even may be required to turn the scale.

Washing hands.—Some people will not wash their hands in water that another has used, unless they first spit in it; otherwise the two would surely quarrel.

.

Crowing hen.—The crowing of a hen is said to be very unlucky, and one so crowing would be killed at once — either in the ordinary way, or by smothering or burning. "The worse way, the better."

Flax, hens' eggs or salt borrowed, and not repaid, will cause the borrower to wander after death, until he, or she, repay them.

Luck.—If a spark from a fire burn a hole in the front of your dress, your luck is said to be before you; but if at the back, your luck is behind you, and you will have none in the time to come.

A house should never be swept out on the door, but up to the hearth; otherwise the luck will be swept out of the house.

REVIEWS.

's edition of this famous voyage of Bran to "Enme of many shapes, which the dear sea encircles," the Land of Women, is welcome, as is every fresh addition to the list of Irish tales saved from the risk of manuscript and made accessible to the reader. This particular tale was, as its editor concludes, "originally written down in the seventh century." From this original a copy was made in the tenth century, by one who left the poetry almost intact, but partially modified the prose, most especially the verbal forms. From this copy of the tenth century all existing MSS. of the tale are derived. Mr. Nutt would make the lost original to have belonged to the eighth rather than the seventh century; and as the foreign words belong to the verse, which certainly seems, though imperfect, part of the original tale, we should rather incline to the later date.

Besides the voyage of Bran, Dr. Meyer has given critical text and translations of a number of short tales and references touching Mongán, who reigned and died in the first quarter of the seventh century, according to the annalists, and is made to come from the Land of Behest to meet Colum-Cille by the author of an early poem, Mura of Fahan, who died about 650, as it has been calculated. Mongán was prophecied of by Manannan, the son of Lear, the god, who begat him by a trick (such as Uther and Zeus played) on the wife of Fiachna, king of Ulster and ally of Aidan, king of Scots, who fought the Saxons, or rather the English, "æt Egesan-stane," as the O.E. Chronicle testifies, s.a.

 GHOST LIGHTS OF THE WEST HIGHLANDS.

BY R. C. MACLAGAN, M.D.

The belief in portents of death is deeply seated in the mind of the Highlander. These "Manaidhean" are not the peculiar gift of the "Taibhsdear," the seer of spectres, the "Second Sighted," as they say in the Lowlands. There are apparently very few who have not had a manadh of some sort during their life. The rattle of a bridle hung against a wall, which bridle becomes the needful gear of a messenger of evil tidings, the fall of a tray from the "dresser," which tray will become the bearer of the refreshments at a funeral, the rumble of an invisible cart, which is reproduced in the procession to the grave of the funeral suggested, are manaidhean warnings, occurring every day.

Among such warnings one naturally expects that when the light of life is going to leave its possessor here, it might not improbably be, as it were, seen in the act, and so be an intimation of the fatal result. "Each man has a star in heaven, the brighter or darker light of which betokens his greater or lesser good fortune. The fall of a star each time betokens the death of a man. If one sees a star fall, he calls out three times 'Not mine.'" That is a Jewish belief, but astrology is confined to no nationality. Distinctions, however, are made in certain places according to the phenomena observed. In some parts of Hungary if a star moves without falling down, as it were, they say a soul is loosed from purgatory, and the person who sees it should offer a prayer; but if it passes away so as to become invisible, a human being is said to die.

PREFACE

While the senior author of this work was engaged in the preparation of the monograph of the American Devonic Crustacea which constituted volume 7 of the Palaeontology of New York [1888], the forms of the Eurypterida there presented for consideration, led to the impression that it would be a service to paleontology to restate in detail the structure of this unique group of extinct creatures. The Siluric rocks of New York had proven so profuse in these remains that the material was not wanting for such analysis; the late Professor James Hall, who in 1859 had given the most intimate account of the eurypterids developed up to that time, concurred in the belief that the 30 years which had then passed would, with the aid of accumulated data and in the light of the contributions made by other writers, afford new facts worth recording. Not long after this Gerhard Holm published his very remarkable analysis of the structure of Eurypterus based on specimens from the Baltic Siluric and on the appearance of this exhaustive memoir it seemed that the anatomy of the group could hardly be supplemented except by the estimation 5

 THE BINDING OF A GOD:

.

BY WILLIAM CROOKE, B.A.

(Read at Meeting of 29th June, 1897.)

one like myself, who has spent a large part of his life among an idol-worshipping people, there is something extremely fascinating in attempting to discover some of the leading principles which underlie this class of beliefs. Though my subject this evening is more immediately concerned with savage ritual, it is I venture to think, as most discussions on ritual can hardly fail to be, closely connected with some of those folk-beliefs which it is the special province of this Society to investigate.

Since the publication of Dr. Robertson Smith's epoch-making book. The Religion of the Semites, the steps by which the development of the idol from the rudest beginnings up to the stage at which it attains its highest artistic beauty, as we find it in Greek art, have passed almost beyond the range of controversy.

The process begins with a theophany—the appearance of the god to some favoured worshipper at some special spot. To this place the constant presence or occasional visits of the deity to bless and protect his votaries can be secured only by fitting suit and service. Here accordingly they slay and eat the sacred totem animal of the tribe, and secure communion with the divinity by pouring the blood on a pile of rude stones, the most primitive altar, which is later on replaced by a pillar marking more distinctly the holiness of the spot. This primitive unhewn monolith, as the progress to a more anthropomorphic conception of the godhead develops, comes to be carved in the semblance of the deity, and we thus reach the stage of the rude wooden idol or ξόανον, which Pausanias saw in so many of the

 of specific and generic differences, and the study of the habitudes of these animals. Notwithstanding, as early as 1895, I began the assemblage of materials looking specially to a revision of the New York and American eurypterid faunas. The collections of the State Museum were already pretty well supplied with representatives from the well known localities at Buffalo and in Herkimer county and now these collections have been vastly amplified, first by repeated acquisitions from the Herkimer county localities during the past 15 years, again by the close study of all outcrops of the Eurypterus beds along the line between Herkimer county and Buffalo which has progressed in connection with the field work in areal geology, then by the courtesy of the trustees of the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences who in 1898, by special vote, placed at my disposal the extraordinary assemblage of specimens from the Buffalo cement quarries which is known, from the name of its principal contributor, as the Lewis J. Bennett Collection. Soon thereafter followed the discovery of the Eurypterus-bearing black shales at Pittsford, Monroe co., which were brought to light by the work of enlargement of the Erie canal in 1895, the species of which were described in our reports by Mr Clifton J. Sarle from material now in possession of the State Museum. To this notable addition to our knowledge has been added in years still more recent the new fauna in the dark shales of the Shawangunk grit at Otisville, Orange co., an assemblage of eurypterids remarkable for its profusion of immature growth stages; this fauna lying far to the east of all previously known occurrences of these creatures, was described in a preliminary way by the writer. Still more recently, indeed since the preparation of this book was believed to be completed, the field investigations of Dr Ruedemann have brought to light a large and new fauna in the Lower Siluric (Frankfort) shale rather widely disseminated in the lower Mohawk valley and this constitutes the very earliest assemblage of these merostomes in conditions which indicate that they formed a colony of long local duration.

The collections which have thus been brought together from the productive localities mentioned for the preparation of the present treatise have been

 Rh Green, at the club feast on Whit-Monday. Most of these details come from Mrs. Hannah Wells of Bampton, aged 80, who made the "mace" now in my possession in 1894, the old one being mislaid. (This has since been found, and I have both). They were supplemented by Charles Tanner, farm-labourer, of Weald, near Bampton, aged nearly 80, and now blind. He was "Lord of the garland" in his boyhood, and afterwards head morris-dancer.

Whitsuntide.

The following ceremonies are still kept up at Bampton on Whit-Monday, and are now associated with the club feast. A procession goes round the town, which comprises:

1. A fiddler to provide music for the dancers. This fiddler is a modern substitute for the "whittle-and-dub" man, who played the pipe and tabour; these instruments were used within living memory (pls. ii., iii.).

2. Eight morris-dancers, dressed in finely pleated white shirts, white moleskin trousers, and top-hats, decorated with red, white and blue ribbons. Attached to their knees they wear numerous small latten bells, some treble, others tenor, which jingle as they dance (pls. ii., iii.).

3. A clown, called the "Squire," dressed in whatever motley is available, who carries a staff with a calf's tail at one end and a bladder at the other, with which he belabours the bystanders (pls. ii., iii.). He also carries a money-box, known as the "Treasury (pl. iv., No. 8)."

4. A "sword-bearer," who carries a cake in a round tin, impaled on a sword-blade (pl. iv., No 1). The cake is a rich pound-cake, and is provided by some lady in the town. Both cake and sword are decorated with ribbons. At various intervals the procession stops and dancing begins.

While the dancing goes on, slices of the cake are distributed to the bystanders, who are expected to make a

 really great; indeed they represent some thousands of specimens and it is quite within reason to say that no series of the Eurypterida of equal size and variety has ever before been assembled. It is quite as true that no equal area in the world has proved as fruitful in the quantity and diversity of these organisms as the State of New York. And through the courtesy of many correspondents and museums much material from outside of New York has been placed at the demands of this work: the species of the Kokomo waterlimes of Indiana; of the Cambric Strabops of Missouri; the Siluric Megalograptus of Ohio and the Carbonic Hastimima of Brazil and New Brunswick; in all, I believe, an unexampled array of these extinct arachnids.

The work of elaborating these earlier studies and expanding them into this fuller form has very largely depended on the aid of Dr Rudolf Ruedemann who has brought to the work keen analytical powers, a broad grasp of its problems and an enthusiastic assiduity. I fully realize and gladly express my obligation to this assistance and desire that the interested reader accord to my coworker adequate acknowledgment of his efficient part in this work.

The treatise itself seems to carry its own justification; aside from the close analysis of structural details, there are chapters on ontogeny, phylogeny, on life habits and conditions as well as on organization which, though probably not beyond criticism, are at least informing and constitute an advance of knowledge.

To the following individuals and institutions the authors have been indebted for aid:

 * The Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences, through its board of trustees and its superintendent, Mr Henry R. Howland
 * The American Museum of Natural History, through Dr E. O. Hovey and the late Prof. R. P. Whitfield
 * The United States National Museum, through Drs R. S. Bassler, E. O. Ulrich and David White
 * The Smithsonian Institution, through Secretary Charles D. Walcott

 310 turn to the "Squire's treasury." What remains of the cake at night is divided among the dancers. A slice of cake is reckoned to carry good luck with it, and many people keep pieces of it stored in a box during the ensuing twelve months, in order to ensure their good luck abiding with them.

The account of these ceremonies comes mainly from Mrs. Hannah Wells (mentioned under May Day) whose father, Thomas Radbone, played the pipe and tabour; he was the owner of the "Treasury" exhibited. The words of the songs were dictated to me by Chas. Tanner, also before mentioned, in 1894. He was head morris-dancer in his earlier years. The melodies were sung by Tanner and transcribed for me by Mr. C. Taphouse of Oxford, to whom I must acknowledge my indebtedness. From Henry Wells (aged 50, labourer) of Bampton, now head morris-dancer, were got the costumes, cake-tin, fool's bladder, etc. A short account supplied by me of these two Bampton feasts, from which this paper is expanded, will be found, with the songs and melodies, in the Rev. P. H. Ditchfield's "Old English Customs" pp. 99, 124-7, 327-31.

The "Whit Hunt."

Up to the year 1862 a large extent of country lying between the Rivers Evenlode and Windrush was still forest-land, being a piece of the much larger Forest of Wychwood, which covered at one time a great part of the western border of Oxfordshire. Many of the adjoining towns and villages had and exercised the right of hunting the deer in this forest-land; and in one instance, at Burford, these rights were explicitly recognised by the Crown. The invariable season for these hunting expeditions seem to have been Whitsuntide. I have

Rh selected the village of Ducklington, about two miles south of Witney, as typical of the surrounding district. At the hour of midnight on Whit-Sunday, the villagers were roused from their sleep, by the blowing of "peeling-horns," and the loud shouts of their bearers, to prepare for the coming festivities. These "peeling horns" (pl. vi.) were made of green willow-bark, peeled in a long spiral strip from a bough previously well soaked and beaten, in order to loosen the bark. This strip was then rolled up in a long funnel shape, about 11 in. long, and 2½ in. in diameter at the larger end. To the smaller end was fitted a reed, about 2 in. long, made of willow bark stripped from a twig without any incision being made in it. This reed was called the "trumpet." The edges of the reed, which entered the mouth of the player, were pinched closely together to produce the sound. The whole horn was pinned together with the long thorns of the blackthorn.

At daybreak on the Monday, all the men of the village who could beg or borrow a horse, rode off to the village of Hailey on the edge of the Forest, where they were joined by a crowd of hunters from the surrounding towns and villages of Witney, Bampton, Brize Norton, Crawley, Leafield, Charlbury, Finstock, etc. The crowd then moved off in a body, and proceeded to chase and kill three deer, one of which was claimed by Hailey, one by Crawley, and one by Witney, the first-named having always the prior claim. The man who was first in at the death of the deer claimed the head and antlers as his trophy, and the antlers seem to have been kept for years after as a mark of distinction. The carcase of the deer was then carried in triumph to an inn, where it was skinned. The skin was cut up into pieces, and distributed, and happy was the maiden whose lover could sport a piece

The illustrations in the work are from drawings skilfully rendered by George S. Barkentin, many of them, especially the restorations and stages of immature growth, based on Dr Ruedemann's sketches and camera drawings.

The eurypterid colonies of the New York Siluric are very distinctly localized and of them we know two at the bottom of the Salina series or beneath the salt beds and two at the top of the series. These colonies were doubtless in part breeding pools in brackish waters, partly more open basins, restricted in extent by the limitations of favorable physical conditions.

Colony O, or the Otisville basin lying far eastward of the rest and on the borders of the Appalachian region, is embedded in an almost unlimited repetition of thin black shale between layers of heavy sandstone of the Shawangunk formation (Salina stage). In the construction of railroad improvements the rock wall here was broken down for ballast and while this work was in progress the eurypterid remains were detected by Dr Ruedemann. From this time on until the completion of the construction work referred to, Mr H. C. Wardell was almost continuously

Rh to bring good luck to the buyer, who often kept a piece of it throughout the year. Any cakes not sold at the end of the feast were divided among the "Lamb Ale Boys."

The lamb was carried in procession on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, when it—or usually a less valuable lamb, the original being returned to the fold unhurt—was killed, and made into pies. Into one pie, called the "head pie," was put the head with the wool on it. The other pies were then cut up and distributed to all who wanted a piece, but the "head pie" could only be bought for a shilling.

The remaining days of the feast were spent in drinking at the "Bowery," whither the morris-dancers returned every night from visits to neighbouring villages to collect money. At the end of each day, the money collected was given to the head morris-dancer, who was responsible for the safe keeping of the apparatus used. The "maces" and "treasury" were last held by Thomas Hawkes of Kirtlington, now dead, and from his brother, John Hawkes, they were bought for me in June, 1894. The account of the feast is from R. Pearman, of Kirtlington, and his wife.

For comparison with this body of customs, I quote the following passage from T. Blount's Ancient Tenures, ed. 1679, p. 149:—

 200 beautiful regions and cities, inhabited by beings of the fairy race, and occasionally made accessible to mortals, who, after staying for a time amid splendid sights and entertainments, were allowed to return to upper air. In Ireland and Wales there are many lakes of which such stories are told, and various forms of allied beliefs are found in classical and mediaeval traditions. In India nothing corresponding to the poetical fairy mythology of Europe is known, and all popular superstitions are forms of devil-worship and belief in beings always evil and malevolent, personified diseases, and spiteful goblins. Once, however, I was surprised by meeting with an account much resembling the legends of under-water countries in Europe. It appeared in an Indian newspaper, from which this is taken verbatim:

This bears a remarkable resemblance to the well-known tale of Elidurus, related by Giraldus Cambrensis, and is, I think, worth preserving as a modern instance of the belief on which that legend is founded. For even if we suppose the boy to have been a conscious romancer, his tale seems to have been implicitly believed by the people of his neighbourhood.

Rh name, which probably still goes on. A feeling very like this is described in an interesting article in a recent number of Folk-Lore on "Executed Criminals and Folk-Medicine," by Mabel Peacock, in which it is related that in Sicily there is a kind of criminal worship of the most notorious felons and cut-throats, the belief being that men who had slain many victims carried into the other world an evil power which they had won by blood, and that murderers are even regarded as sainted, and miracles wrought by them! In the case of the Indian brigand, hanged long years before, I was told that in Bhûta-form he was believed still to haunt the villages in which his worst crimes had been committed, and on certain nights, particularly the anniversary of his execution, he might be seen striding about in dark giant-shape and trampling over the tops of houses, making the tiles clatter, and crashing-in the thatched roofs of cocoa-tree leaves. This was recalled to memory when lately reading the Icelandic legend of "Grettir the Outlaw," in which the huge grim thrall Glam, killed in an unearthly struggle with a demon, is described as coming by night from his burial-mound, bestriding the house and making it shake, tearing open doors and windows, and breaking the backs of some of the inmates; in short, a frightful Bhûta. This shows the same idea prevailing in frozen Iceland as in torrid India. Indeed, a variant of it appears in the old barbarous custom of burying suicides at cross-roads, with a stake driven through their breasts and a heavy stone on their faces to prevent them "walking." Nearly allied too is the superstition about Vampires still prevalent in Greece and the Levant; they seem a species of Bhûta, and stories about them are, as Lord Byron remarked, sometimes "most incredibly attested."

A popular belief has long and widely prevailed in European folklore that under certain lakes and rivers there exist '

 198 Many years ago, when in charge of the Trichinopoly district in Southern India, whilst encamped near a large village on the furthermost border, I was struck by the extraordinary prevalence of one and the same name amongst the villagers. The males, young and middle-aged, appeared to bear the same name to an extent confusing and inconvenient in conducting business matters. On asking the reason of this, I was told that some thirty years back there had been a notorious much-dreaded robber of that name, the leader of a gang infamous for "torch-light robberies," that is when the house of some well-to-do man was surrounded at dead of night by a score or more desperadoes, who at a signal lighting torches, with shouts and threats forced their way in and compelled the inmates, too often with violence and cruel tortures, to give up money, jewels, &c., and after outrages, and sometimes murder, would depart, not unfrequently leaving the house in flames. After a long course of such crimes the leader, named Periya Vérappa, was at last caught and executed. Now in that part of India, when a man noted for cruel and violent temper dies, he very often becomes a Bhûta; that is, he reappears as a malignant goblin, working all kinds of spiteful and mischievous tricks and injuries, especially to children and cattle. Even a person of good life and repute who happens to die an unnatural or violent death, by accident or otherwise, is liable to become a Bhûta, and work out spiteful and evil deeds in his old neighbourhood. Much more then would a pre-eminently wicked character like the robber-chief.

Periya Vérappa became a Bhuta of especial power and malignancy; and so, though hanged for his crimes thirty years or more previously, he was held in dread as the most powerful and evil Bhûta in all that country-side; and it was believed that giving his name to any new-born male child would cause him to regard the child and the house that held it with some favour and turn any evil intent aside. Hence the extraordinary multiplication of his

Rh magic castle or cavern, unapproachable by vulgar steps, till awakened at a predestined signal at some season of extreme need. King Arthur in Avalon, the Emperor Barbarossa in the Kyffhäuser Cave, Holger the Dane under Kronenburg Castle, are familiar instances. In a cavern over the Lake of Lucerne the three Tells lie slumbering till called forth by Switzerland's greatest danger. In later classical times Achilles still dwelt in the White Island in the Pontic Sea, which, like Mona, none could find unless supernaturally guided. Passing mariners sometimes caught a glimpse of him with his flowing yellow hair and golden armour, and even heard him sing. Once a young sailor, coming upon the mystic islet unawares and landing, fell asleep, when he was aroused by Achilles himself, who led him to a splendid tent and set him to a feast, at which Patroclus poured out wine and Achilles sang to a harp. The youth soon slumbered, and on awaking all had disappeared. This is quite in accordance with many mediæval stories. Very similar legends have arisen even in our own day. In that most beautiful and luxuriant part of the lovely Lake of Como, known as the Tremezzina, where the mountains, retreating backward from the lake, leave a wide level space of extreme fertility, there is a cave some 600 or 700 feet above on the mountain-side, very visible from below. The ascent to it is precipitous, and the country people relate that in the time of the Austrian occupation a band of insurgents, obnoxious to the authorities, had fled to the mountains, and being closely pursued entered the cave, followed by the Austrian soldiers; but none have ever since come out. They are believed to be there still, whether laid in trance and expected ever to reappear I could not clearly ascertain. Anyway, it seemed to me an instance of a legend originating in modern days akin to many mediæval beliefs.
