_Lærig_ (No. 19. p. 292.).--The able elucidation given by Mr.

Singer of the meaning of this word, renders, perhaps, any futher

communication on the point unnecessary. Still I send the following

notes in case they should be deemed worthy of notice.

"Ler, leer--vacuus. Berini Fabulæ, v. 1219. A.-S. ge-lær."

_Junii Etymol. Anglicanum._

"Lar, lær--vacuus."

_Schilteri Glossarium Teutonicum._

Respecting "Lind," I find in the version by Thorkelin of _De Danorum

Rebus Gestis Poema Danicum Dialecto Anglo-Saxonica_ (Havniæ, 1815),

that "Lind hæbbendra" is rendered "Vesilla habens;" but then, on the

other hand, in Biorn Haldorsen's _Islandske Lexicon_ (Havniæ, 1814),

"Lind" (v. ii. p. 33) is translated "Scutum tiligneum."
