_Charles Dodd_ (Vol. ii., p. 496.).--TYRO will find an account of this writer in _Biographical Illustrations of Worcestershire_: by John Chambers, Esq.: Worcester, 1820, 8vo., p. 591., from which we learn that his true name was Hugh Toot_el_, a Lancashire man born in 1672, in the neighbourhood of Preston. The name of Hugh Toot_le_ is recognised in the prospectus or announcement of Mr. Tierney's new edition of Dodd's _Church History of England_, of which the first and second volumes appeared so long ago as 1839: but I regret to say that the work is yet far from being completed. F. R. A. "_Prenzie_" (Vol. iii., p. 522.).--We seem now to have got to the true reading, "primzie." The termination _zie_ suits a Scotch word perhaps. I only wish to mention, that the form "prin" is connected with the verb "to preen," which we use of birds. Yet that again seems connected with _prune_. Etymology is always in a circle. C. B. "_In Print_" (Vol. iii., p. 500.).--In confirmation of the statement made as to the expression "in print" meaning "with exactness," &c., I perfectly remember an old Somersetshire servant of our's, who used to say, when he saw me romping after I was dressed: "Take care, Sir, you'll put your hair _out of print_." C. W. B. _Introduction of Reptiles into Ireland_ (Vol. iii., p. 491.).--The snakes introduced into the county of Down in 1831, alluded to by EIRIONNACH, were the very harmless and easily tamed species, _Coluber natrix_ of Linnæus, _Natrix torquata_ of Ray. They were purchased in Covent Garden Market; and, to the number of six, were turned out in the garden of Rath Gael House. One was killed at Milecross, three miles distant, about a week after its liberation; and three others were shortly afterwards killed in the same neighbourhood. The fate of the remaining two is unknown, but there can be little doubt that they were also killed, as the country-people offered a considerable reward for their destruction. The writer well remembers the consternation and exceedingly angry feelings caused by this _novel importation_. We may conclude, that though the snake is not indigenous to Ireland, yet there is nothing in either the soil or climate to prevent its naturalisation. It is highly probable that an insular position is unfavourable to the spread of the serpent tribe. Other islands--New Zealand, for instance--as well as Ireland, have no native _Ophidia_. It is generally, but erroneously, believed that there are no toads in Ireland. The Natter-jack (_Bufo calamita_), a closely allied species to the common toad, is found about Killarney. Can any reader inform me if there is any record of its introduction? W. PINKERTON.
