NOTES AND QUERIES. 112 s.vi. MAY 29.10*1.
Fortescue, it is now generally called the
Ashmolean Museum. Dr. Randolph's
memory is preserved in the name of the
Randolph Hotel which faces the Taylorian
building on the other side of Beaumont
Street. JOHN R. MAGRATH.
THE REV. JOHN GUTCH, ANTIQUARY AND DIVINE (12 S. vi. 170, 213, 232). T am sure that the Provost of Queen's College will be glad that an inaccuracy in his Gutch pedigree should be corrected.
Anna Goff was the aunt not w,other of the above. On Mar. 1, 1743/4 she married at Wimborne Minster the antiquary's uncle, the Rev. Robert Gutch, second son of Robert Gutch and Jane (Prickman), his wife, who was born at Wells. Dec. 5, 1712; B.A., Christ Church, Oxford, 1735; usher, 1738; headmaster, 1757, of the Free Grammar School at Wimborne ; died Rector of Bryanston and Dunveston, Oct. 19, 1797 (Will P.C.C. 548 Major).
The second edition of Hutchin's ' Dorset ' contains some inaccuracies about this man. but not having a copy before me I cannot now give details ; I think amongst other things it incorrectly states that the Rev. R. Gutch married Anne Gifford, and also gives a wrong date for his death.

I am sorry that G. F. R. B. should even for a short time have been through my care- lessness misinformed as to the antiquary's mother. On referring again to the pedigree, which I owe to the kindness of MR. WILFRID GUTCH, I find that Anne Goff was the aunt, not the mother of the antiquary, being the wife of the Rev. R. Gutch, Headmaster of Wimborne School, brother of John Gutch. the antiquary's father. " Shaston " is better known as Shaftesburj-.

PRINCIPAL LONDON COFFEE-HOUSES (12 S.. vi. 213). I should value the references or authorities for the three taverns kindly named by TV*. B. H. At the dates stated these taverns could hardly be said to have stood in Shug Lane. That lane is men- tioned in the ' New View of London,' 1708, but it had disappeared by 1745 ; see Roeque's- ' Survey,' where Davies Street, Berkeley Square, is marked as David Street.

L'NCOLLECTED KIPLING ITEMS : ' WITH NUMBER THREE ' : ' SURGICAL AND MEDICAL ' (11 S. ix. 309; vi. 38, 178). I should like to express my regret that when stating at the first reference that these two stories appeared in The Daily Express I failed to verify my references. Both stories are in my collection of Kipling items, but I have not recorded the name of the paper in which they first appeared, and I rashly jumped to the conclusion that they, as well as the- other uncollected stories of the Boer War
