Episcopal Registers, Exeter, Brantyngham, Pt. 2, p. 593, 10.11.1385. Bishop to Dean of Plympton re individual chaplains celebrating Divina in the Deanery. Really it is not lawful to all, without the authority of the Apostolic See or Local Diocesans, and certainly not the laity, to appoint Festivals to be kept or venerated. Nevertheless certain parishioners of Plympton St. Mary's Chapel, within the cemetery of the Mother Church (as we have heard on reliable testimony and common report), have rashly presumed to proclaim and appoint a dedication festival for the aforesaid chapel, in which such a festival had never been customary, excepting in the Mother Church, as well as against the wishes of the Religious Men of the Prior and council of Plympton canonically holding the same chapel, its rights and privileges; and under the pretence of a Dedication Festival of the same chapel have unjustly caused to be affixed to the bell tower of the same chapel a certain flag with a bell attached to it, bringing contempt and manifest injury to our jurisdiction and Pontifical Authority, and to the prejudice and offence of the Religious men themselves. Wishing therefore our episcopal laws and those of our subordinates whomsoever to be carefully observed, we command you, the first, second, third time, and peremptorily, the parishioners of the aforesaid chapel, all and several, that they absolutely cease and desist from the proclamation and celebration of a Dedication Festival of this kind, as well as from their other presumptions above written, rashly attempted by them; as well as totally abstain from such attempts in future, unless it has been made sufficiently plain to you that the aforesaid Feast has been and is lawfully proclaimed and canonically celebrated, under pain of the Greater Excommunication, fulminated not undeservedly against transgressors. But if they do not in effect obey your monitions, you must studiously promulgate in lawful manner sentence of the Greater Excommunication against all and several on their part contumacious and rebellious; their fault, delay, and offence being laid before them in the aforesaid Canonical Monition; for which premisses to be carried out by you in general and particular, we give our full authority and canonical powers of compulsion. And what you do in these matters you are to certify us or our official principal, Mr. Wm. Bide or Mr. Jno. Lugard, deputed to punish, etc. APPENDIX IX. Charities. There is a rent charge of twenty-four shillings yearly for ever out of a Tenement and Garden in Plympton, enjoyed by John Martyn, Gentn., and on 20 May, 1573, in the 15th year of Queen Elizabeth, Christopher Martyn, Gentn., for a consideration obliged by Deed not only the Premisses, but all his lands in Brixton, Plympton St. Mary and Plympton Morris, for the payment thereof. On 1 October, 1800, the Heirs of Martyn deposited £40 in the £3 per cent Consolidated Annuities for the payment of the above, in the names of John Harris, Esq., William Hare, Esq., and Mr. Joseph Perry. Sir Warwick Hele, of South Wembury House, Knight, erected an Almes House in this parish, 1682, for ten poor people, and endowed it with thirty pounds yearly for ever, payable out of the Sheaf of Holberton, twenty-four pounds, fifteen shillings, and nine pence, and five pounds, four shillings, and three pence out of Masse-Marshs and Revelstock. Sir John Hele, his nephew and Heir Male, gave twelve pence a week in bread to the poor of this parish for ever, payable out of his demeasness of Clifton, in Dorsetshire, and to be distributed every Sunday by the churchwardens. He likewise gave by will out of his said demeasness of Clifton six pounds thirteen shillings and fourpence yearly to the Minister of this Parish. In 1722 Josias Calmady, Esq., of this parish, gave by his will twelve pence a week in Second Bread to the poor of this parish for ever, payable out of his rents in Colbrook (now Lord Boringdon's), and to be distributed every Sunday by the churchwardens. He likewise hath given and ordered by his said will five hundred pounds to be raised out of the Sheaf of this Parish to purchase lands for the good of the said parish, and the income thereof to go according to the direction of his said will, which is laid out in the purchase of an estate called Higher Edgecomb and Rams Down in the parish of Milton Abbot, in the County of Devon. NOTES ON THE CRYSTALLIZING TEMPERATURE OF CASSITERITE. BY ARTHUR R. HUNT. (Read at Launceston, 28th July, 1909.) IN a paper read at Newton Abbot last year on Tests of Granitic Temperatures," I mentioned, somewhat incidentally, that Professor Daubrée had crystallized cassiterite at a temperature under 300° C. by means of the mixed vapours of chloride of tin and water, and that chlorine was pretty well ubiquitous in the western granites, i.e. under the form of chlorides. After reading the paper it occurred to me that it would be interesting to examine some specimens of tinstone in quartz. On 11 August I had the opportunity of examining a specimen from the West Kitty Mine, Cornwall, kindly lent me by Dr. Teall, F.R.S. I found the liquid inclusions in the quartz to be extremely minute and unusually abundant. Chlorides were rare, but I was able to sketch, in the same field of the one-sixteenth-inch objective, three very diverse inclusions, viz. one with very small bubble, one almost entirely filled with gas, and a third with a very active bubble. These three inclusions would suffice to indicate that the quartz enclosing them crystallized out of liquid, and therefore under the critical temperature of water, both from their variability and from the presence of a chloride in one of them; but sections that require the use of the one-sixteenth objective are not desirable for demonstration purposes, as the objects are often difficult to find again when wanted. On 25 December I received from Mr. Worth an excellent slide of a vein-quartz from the Gobbet Mine, Dartmoor, having granules of tinstone scattered through it, there being five granules in the slide itself. This specimen abounds in inclusions, both of plain liquid and of liquid with chloride crystals, some of the latter being quite visible even under a half-inch objective. If we could be sure that the granules of tinstone and the enveloping quartz were contemporaneous, the evidence in favour of M. Delesse's low temperature of crystallization would in this case be very strong. TINSTONE VEIN QUARTZ 1/8 OBJECTIVE GRANULE of TINSTONE Tinstone in Vein-quartz from Gobbet Mine, Dartmoor. Dr. Flett has, however, emphasized the fact that in certain cases fissures may be opened and filled with quartzose vein-stuff, and then crushed by the movement of the walls, and that these processes may have been repeated three or four times in some of the great lodes.
