Mr. Van Noorden and I have discovered the identity of many more of these portraits; and of the 286 male personages whose pictures are given in the magazine, only 26 remain unnamed.

HORACE BLEACKLEY. Fox Oak, Walton-on-Thames. "DOVETAILING": “CHIGAGO.” — Sixty years ago, in what were the frontier settlements of the U.S., it was customary in stagecoaches for the passengers to make room by putting their knees between those of their opposites: and this was called" dovetailing." It is recorded that once a Lake captain sat opposite a fat old lady, and, finding the accommodation scanty, said: "I guess, marm, it's got to be done anyhow, sooner or later, so you and I must jist dovetail." She replied: "Must what, sir-r?" "Dovetail, marm; you and I have got to dovetail, and no two ways about it." "Dovetail me, you inhuman savage!" she roared out, shaking her fist : "dovetail a lone woman in a Christian country! If there's law on airth, sir-r, and in the State of Illinoy, I'll Vol. IV.

I have had the opportunity of comparing my catalogue with one drawn up by Mr. C. Van Noorden, of 5, Essex Court, Temple. After discussing the subject with Mr. Van Noorden, who has devoted a great deal of research to these interesting problems, I have come to the conclusion that many of my identifications are wrong. Below I give a list of my mistakes: ham. Vol. XIII. (1781).-P. 625. The Patriotic Senator-Sir George Savile. Vol. XV. (1783).-P. 401. The Careful Commander-Robert Monkton. Vol. XVI. (1784).-P. 513.

The Consular Artist and Venus de Medici-Sir William and Lady Hamilton (?). These twelve names, I believe, are incorrect, and those who are interested in the subject will do well to cross them off the list. In the cases also of The Temple Toast,' IV. 569, and The Vauxhall Syren,' VIII. 401, I am inclined to doubt the accuracy of my identification.

JOHN WILLCOCK. Lerwick. BIRCH-SAP WINE: ITS MANUFACTURE. (See 9 S. xi. 467; xii. 50, 296; 10 S. i. 18, 98.)-On p. 109 of A Treatise on Dry Rot,' by Ambrose Bowden (London, 1815), there is the following allusion to this subject :— Early in the Spring, when little or no sap had as yet entered the plant, Dr. Hope made a number of incisions of different altitudes into the root and stem of a birch tree. As the sap rose, it first flowed from the superior margin of the lowest incision, and then in regular succession, from the upper margins of the other incisions, until, at last, it reached the highest. It will be very apparent that these juices are not merely the succus communis, but that they also consist of succus proprius; for the Spring is chosen as the bleeding season, not only because the juices are obtained, as they rise in great abundance; but because they then contain their peculiar qualities in greater energy; and whether the sap of the fir be required, for the manufacture of turpentine; that of the maple, for sugar; or that of the birch, for wine; the time most proper for obtaining this sap is when they [sic] ascend fresh from the roots." A foot-note on p. 109, referring to what immediately precedes, says : - "It is asserted that the juices which are caught in the bleeding season from the birch, exceed the weight of the whole tree, including branches and every other part." 46 66 The name of the birch in Baskish is urki, which apparently means water-stock,” water-producer," from ur water, and refers to its sappiness. A connexion with Latin urceus, urceum, orca, Greek upya= a water vessel, is not quite out of the question. EDWARD S. DODGSON. KENNETT ARMS.-Kennett of Sellendge, in Kent, and of Coxhoe, co. Pal.
