The October Number was unavoidably delayed, and the Editor, in apologizing for it, states that the next Number will be a double one, embracing November and December. We see that the Editor of "Ex Libris" has quoted from our "Miscellanea" the whole of the description of Lord Raymond's plate, for to his originality is due the idea of giving so many plates for identification in the Journal from time to time. Those plates now number 441, and 9 are given in this October Number, besides the introductory plate of Dr. G. C. Peachey, and that of Mrs. Anne Hunter, the wife of the celebrated Surgeon. As Messrs. Black have not heard of the appearance of the forthcoming November-December Number, we are afraid that the worthy Editor is short of material or assistance in issuing it. Are we premature in suggesting to him and his compeers the advisability of making "Ex Libris" for the coming century a quarterly periodical ? 66 Fenland Notes and Queries. October 1900. Peterborough: George C. Caster, Market Place. THE present Part is the completion of Vol. IV., and contains an interesting account of Wisbech Castle, with a plan as a separate plate. There is also an article on Delinquents around Peterborough," giving their names and the fines they paid for bearing armes agt the Parliament." It would be interesting to know if the "Delinquents" were afterwards the King's partisans. Altogether it is a good Number. 66 LITERARY ANNOUNCEMENTS.

COKAYNE, Clarenceux King of Arms. Cokayne Pedigree. Facsimiles are added of the signature of Sir Aston Cokayne and (of the beautiful one) of his mother to their respective wills, both proved at Lichfield. The will of the latter, therein described as "Anne Cokayne of Ashbourne in the county of Derby, widowe, one of the daughters of Sir John Stanhope, Knight, deceased" (mentioning her "great yeares, being 77 years of age"), is dated 13 Aug. 1664, and proved 5 Sep. following. That of the former, therein described as "Aston Cokine [sic] of Derbie, Barronett," and as having been "Sealed, signed, and published by the said Sir Aston Cockine" [sic], is dated 6 Feb. 1683 [i.e., 1683/4], 36 Car. II.; the date of the "Inventory of the goods and chattels of Sr Aston Cokaine [sic] of Pooley in the county of Warwick, Barronet, deceased," being 27 Feb. 1683. date of the proof, however (by Isabella Turvill, daughter and sole executrix), is, as given at the bottom of the will, 24 April [sic] 1683. This is evidently a mistake for 24 March 1683 [i.e., 1683/4], which last is the date endorsed at the back. The letter "s" in the word "Aston seems omitted in Sir Aston's signature.
