‘Extremae sub casum hiemis’ might possibly suit the Italian April, but certainly not the Italian May. May 1 is the earliest date we have for an agri lustratio, i. e. in Campania (_C. I. L._ x. 3792). ‘Tunc mollissima vina’ may contain a reference to the Vinalia of April 23, when the new wine was first drunk; and if that were so, the general reference might be to the Cerialia or its rustic equivalent. Footnote 498: _R. R._ 141. Cp. Siculus Flaccus in _Gromatici Veteres_, p. 164. The lustratio should be celebrated before even the earliest crops (e. g. beans) were cut. Footnote 499: Henzen, _Acta Fr. Arv._ xlviii. Footnote 500: Cato, _R. R._ 141. I have availed myself of the Italian translation and commentary of Prof. De Marchi in his work on the domestic religion of the Romans, p. 128 foll. Footnote 501: Bücheler, _Umbrica_; Bréal, _Les Tables Eugubines_. Footnote 502: Brand, _Popular Antiquities_, p. 292. Footnote 503: I am informed that it visited one hamlet, Horton, which is not at present in the parish of Charlton; of this there should be some topographical explanation. Footnote 504: The cross is very commonly carried about on the continent, and in Holland the week is called cross-week for this reason. But at Charlton there seems to have been a confusion between this cross and the May-queen or May-doll; for on May-day, 1898, the old woman who decked it called it ‘my lady,’ and spoke of ‘her waist,’ &c. I am indebted to the Rev. C. E. Prior, the present incumbent, for information about this interesting survival. MENSIS IUNIUS. KAL. IUN. (JUNE 1). N. IUNONI MONETAE (VEN.)
