NOTES AND FRAGMENTS.
SOME CORRECTIONS.-In the notes to the Reminiscences of Sion
R. Bostick in THE QUARTERLY for October, 1901, the name of Joel

he has missed nothing; but the work of reading and indexing,
which must follow, is vast. It is much increased by the multitudes
of puzzles arising from the bad Spanish and bad chirography of
many of the documents, and it will probably require considerable
time to put them in anything like good condition for reference.
