MINOR CORRESPONDENCE. MR. URBAN,-I am obliged to your correspondent, Mr. Still, for correcting a slip of my pen, in his interesting communication on the "Roman Roads near Londesborough," p. 269 of your September number. Warter, and not Huggate, certainly ought to have been the name of the village specified in my communication, which you were so good as to admit into your August number. But I can scarcely regret this inadvertence, since it has led Mr. Still to place on record, in the pages of your valuable Magazine, an accurate account of his painstaking research in the neighbourhood of Warter. Had he named nothing else, "the great packhorse way" may be of some importance in any future investiE. W. S. gation. In our memoir of Mrs. Florence Smyth in our last Magazine, we inadvertently termed Sir John Smyth her nephew, and also in the foot-note Sir Hugh Smyth. They were her brothers: as we think would be sufficiently clear from the context, which we believe to be otherwise correct.
