god 'pocket' with W. cod 'sack' comes from OE. codd. kroumm 'crooked' with W. crwm, Jr. cromb from OE. crumb. krubul 'stomach' seems a derivative like W. cromil of a loan from OE. cropp.

barged 'buzzard' is conjectured to be a compound of bar 'branche' and cud a loan from OE. cyta.

telt 'tente' from OE. (ge)teld.

falaouéta (for faoul-aéta) 'to take birds from their nests' is derived from faoul, a loan from OE. fugol.

ridel 'sieve' from OE. hriddel, etc.

About forty Breton terms are thus traced back to OE. sources. Curious is the alleged OE. scyfen, of the same family as OE. sceoppa whence Engl. shop,' which on p. 241 is quoted as the original of Breton skiber wagon-shed.' What is meant is evidently OE. scypen 'stall.' Not among the loans from OE. appears Breton kirin 'pot à crème pour le beurre.' It is designated as a 'Scandinavian loan word' (from Olcel. kirna 'churn' whence also English churn is said to have been borrowed). But there is every likelihood that Breton kirin owes its origin rather to a well authenticated OE. cirin (cyrin; cf. WW. 280, 32') sinum cyrin with C. G. L. V 610, 32 sinum uas in quo butirum conficitur. Also Corpus Glossary (ed. Hessels) S 356 sinnum cirm may stand for sinum cirin. At any rate, English 'churn' is now commonly considered as native and appears as such in Murray's NED. I will conclude with a personal remark. In my article, 'Some Celtic Traces in the Glosses,' I had occasion to compare Ir. cló 'wind' with Breton glao 'rain,' but I see from Henry's book that such a comparison is out of the question, glað standing for *gw-law (Celtic wo-law-o-) from low as in Greek λov-w, Lat. lav-o.

'E. Zupitza, Die germ. Gutturale, p. 193, errs in quoting this gloss from WW. 290, 31 and giving ceren as form of the OE. interpretation. Hence it cannot be placed with Goth. kas vessel.' The mistake is due to Lye, as pointed out by Murray s. v. churn in the NED.

Pp. 1-28. Italische Volksjustiz. H. Usener. On defamatory attacks such as were forbidden by the Twelve Tables: "si quis occentauisset siue carmen condidisset quod infamiam faceret flagitiumue alteri." Festus explains the early word occentare as meaning conuicium facere and the Liber Glossarum defines it as infame carmen cum certo nomine dicere. Compare the expression occentare ostium, Plautus, Persa 569, Merc. 408. In Plautus the word flagitium often means "shame" or "exposure to ridicule," and a still earlier meaning was the reproaching or defaming of a man publicly-for example, by uttering or chanting uncomplimentary words before his door. This earlier meaning may be seen in the early use of the verb flagitare, which was connected by popular etymology with flagitium. Both words were connected with flagrum, flagellum. After the analogy of agere, agitare, the verb flagitare meant "to beat soundly," "to drub," and flagitium meant "the beating." For the original meaning of flagitare, compare Festus Pauli, p. 110, 23: "inter cutem flagitatos dicebant antiqui mares qui stuprum passi essent." In the passage already quoted from the Twelve Tables, infamiam was probably inserted by Cicero, and afterwards wrongly regarded as synonymous with flagitium. Further, carmen quod cannot be the grammatical subject of flagitium faceret. The quod of the law was ablative, not nominative, and the passage presumably ran: "si quis occentassit quod (for quo) flagitium alteri faciat." Catullus evidently had in his mind the flagitatio of popular justice when he wrote his forty-second poem. The synonymous expressions occentatio, pipulus, uagulatio, are also discussed in

this article.

C., and in anticipation of the blessings which were to flow from the Peace of Brundisium. The resemblance between the imagery of this Eclogue and that of the Sibylline verses is only superficial.

II, 1892. They are intended to illustrate the meaning of several passages of the Meteorologica. Some (3) of them are reproduced from photographs, the rest (13) from drawings made by Graux.

2. Pp. 19-30. L. Malavialle gives a learned critical discussion of some passages in the Chorographia of Pomponius Mela, especially Ed. Frick. III, 67; p. 71, lines 3-7. Here we are to read Oras tenent a Tamo... Ab Colide ad Indum...
