NOTES AND NEWS.




Among the articles in the forthcoming June number of Folk-Lore will be Mr. Ordish's paper on the English Folk-Drama, a continuation of Mr. Dames' Balochi Tales, and a series of articles on Miss Roalfe Cox's variants of Cinderella. Mr. Alfred Nutt will open the series at the March Meeting of the Folk-lore Society with one entitled "Cinderella and Britain".


The Transactions of the Folk-lore Congress of 1891 have been issued to subscribers, and will shortly be published. As there will be a large deficit on the Congress, which can only be covered by the sale of this volume, it is to be hoped that members of the Congress or of the Folklore Society who have not yet subscribed to it will do so at once. The price to such members is half-a-guinea.


Mrs. Gomme's work on British Games is now passing through the press, and may be expected shortly. It will be arranged alphabetically under the names of the games and will contain much unpublished material.


Miss Roalfe Cox's volume on Cinderella has been issued to members of the Society as the volume for 1892. It is introduced by an essay by Mr. Andrew Lang, defending his views on Folk-tales against recent criticisms by M. Cosquin and Mr. Joseph Jacobs.


Among immediately forthcoming works of interest to folk-lorists may be noted:—Rev. James Macdonald, Myth and Religion in S. Africa. G. B. Grinnell, Pawnee Hero
