of the cairns and cromlechs which exist there, with a view of collecting some specimens of ancient weapons of warfare. These weapons will be placed in the London Museum. "The golden IItee, made of solid gold, ornamented with rubies, and presented to the Shoay Dagon Pagoda by the King of Burma, was expected shortly to reach Rangoon from Mandalay. A high Burmese official, a hundred soldiers, and several phoongees, were to accompany the Htee as an escort. The Rangoon Gazette says that there is an old Burmese prophecy to the effect that when the King of Burma crowns the Shoay Dagon Pagoda, he will recover possession of Pegu within a year from that date." Mr. William Dodd of Newcastle announces that he is preparing for publication, in one volume (8vo), Bibliotheca Northumbriensis et Dunelmensis, a biographical account of books, pamphlets, prints, maps, etc., printed on the history, topography, antiquities, family history, biography, etc., of the counties of Northumberland and Durham. This work, which has been many years in preparation, will be put to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers is obtained to guarantee the publisher from any loss. Intending subscribers are invited to send in their names as early as convenient. The first two Parts of the Ephemeris Epigraphica, a new journal devoted to Latin inscriptions, and published by the Roman Archæological Institute, have been issued. They are full of valuable and interesting matter. Our Hon. Palæographer, Mr. W. de Gray Birch, has announced for immediate publication his Fasti Monastici Evi Saxonici, or an Alphabetical List of the Heads of Religious Houses in England previous to the Norman Conquest; to which is prefixed a Chronological Catalogue of Contemporary Foundations. The title sufficiently indicates the scope of the work and its value to all those who are interested in early monastic institutions. The price of the volume is 5s., and Mr. Birch will be glad to receive the names of intending subscribers as soon as possible. Members are informed that it is in contemplation to commence a new volume of the Collectanea Archæologica, Part I of which will contain, among other papers, the first Part of a Dictionary of British Costume, Civil and Military, from the Earliest Period to the Close of the Eighteenth Century, with illustrations, by J. R. Planché, Esq., Somerset Herald. Each Part will be issued to members at 10s., and to the public at 15s. 417 A. INDEX.
