For poor ignorant people like myself pray insert the following, as perhaps some of your heraldic correspondents may afford some information for the benefit of your very humble servant, F.E.

The singular error which Messrs. Lye and Thorpe have fallen in the passage pointed out by Mr. Hampson in Aelfric's very interesting _Colloquy_, is the more remarkable as Aelfric himself afforded a complete illustration of the passage, in his _Glossary_, where we have "BULGA, _hýdig-faet_." It is possible, therefore, that _higdifatu_ is a mere error of the scribe. Now Du Cange, v. _Bulga_, cites this very passage from Aelfric's _Glossary_, and adds, "i.e. _vas ex corio confectum_," but his whole article is worth consulting. That the Latin word in the _Colloquy_ should be _Cassidilia_ is quite clear. Thus in an old MS. English Gloss on the Bible (penes me), the passage in Tobit, viii. 2., "Protulit de _Cassidili_ suo," is rendered, "brouzt forth of his _Scrippe_." Coverdale has it, "take out of his _bagge_," and Luther, "langte aus seinem _Sücklein_," which word is exchanged for _büdel_ in the Saxon version. In two old Teutonic Glosses on the Bible published by Graff (_Diutiska, ii. 178.), we have the following variations:--
