_Mounting Photographs_ (Vol. ix., p. 282.).--J. L. S. will find the
"Indian-rubber glue," which is sold in tin cases, the simplest and cleanest
substance for mounting positives; it also possesses the advantage of being
free from the attacks of insects.

_Books on Bells_ (Vol. ix., p. 240.).--Add to MR. ELLACOMBE'S curious list
of books on bells the following:
"Duo Vota consultiva, unum de Campanis, alterum de Coemeteriis. In
quibus de utriusque antiquitate, {311} consecratione, usu et effectibus
plene agitur, pluraque scitu dignissima ad propositi casus, aliorumque

_Medal in Honour of Chevalier St. George_ (Vol. ix., p. 105).--A. S.
inquires about a medal supposed to have been struck in honour of Prince
James (Chevalier St. George); but his account of it is so vague, that I am

_Dean Swift's Suspension_ (Vol. ix., p. 244).--I am surprised that ABHBA
should express a belief that the circumstances of Swift's college
punishment have not been noticed by _any of his biographers_, when every
