This number, which completes Vol. VIII., appeared more than a year late. It contains the index to the volume printed in a much more condensed form than in previous volumes, and with nothing given beyond the name of person or place, but within these limits, imposed doubtless by present costs of printing, every name mentioned in the

volume seems to be duly given. Mr. Kite has a note on Joan Sumner, of Seend; "William Stumpe, of Malmesbury, his descendants and relatives," is continued; the will of John Stone, Vicar of Aldbourne, is printed; "Wiltshire Wills in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury" is continued. A Terrier of Box Vicarage in 1677, and a list of admissions of Freemen to the Drapers' Guild of Devizes, 1614-1730, are the other principal items in the number.
