But, thanks to Professor Goetz, we can now descry the main highways, and soon, if volunteer research is available, the whole region will be ours and each part of it minutely surveyed. When that time comes, the apographs in Goetz's Corpus Glossariorum Latinorum (C.G.L.) will be replaced by editions of the glossaries, and Goetz's Thesaurus Glossarum will become the mere apparatus criticus of a small Dictionary of Glosses, a dictionary which will be owned and freely used by every teacher of Latin. Yielding to the pleasure of anticipation, I venture here to offer a specimen of this (ideal) dictionary and, in order to get the cooperation of Professor D'Arcy Thompson, choose the glosses with bird-names for my rash and premature attempt. The evidence for each detail will be found in the Thesaurus Glossarum and my article in the July number of the Classical Quarterly of this year (with the other articles there mentioned). There are three great storehouses from which most Latin glossaries took most of their items: I. (PHILOX.) the Philoxenus Glossary. Not the mangled epitome printed in C.G.L. II, but the full Latin-Greek glossary compiled by some monastery-teacher in Italy. Its bird-names would come from (1) Festus' epitome of Verrius Flaccus (who used augural manuals, etc.); (2) Charisius' lists of nouns, e.g. (Idiomata Generis), [CLASSICAL PHILOLOGY XIII, January, 1918] 1 nouns whose gender differs in Latin and Greek, such as (Gram. Lat. I. 552, 11) luscinius: andúv, et luscinia ut Horatius (Sat. ii. 3. 245) dicit. . . . mergus: aïlvia.... turtur:тpvywv, turdus: Kixλa. (Possibly similar lists in other grammarians were used too; but our text of Charisius is very imperfect, depending on a single MS written at Bobbio about the year 700); (3) marginal notes in the monasterylibrary MSS of Virgil, the Satirists (including Sulpicia? including Martial?), the Bible (Itala, i.e. pre-Vulgate, version). II. (ABOL.) the Abolita Glossary, compiled by some monasteryteacher in Spain at the end(?) of the seventh century. It contained fuller and more numerous items than those printed (within square brackets) in C.G.L. IV 4-198. Its bird-names would come from (1) Festus, (2) brief and worthless marginal notes in the monastery MS of Virgil, etc. III. (ABSTR.) the Abstrusa Glossary, perhaps better called Abstrusa Major to distinguish it from the reduced version printed in C.G.L. IV 3-197. The compiler, a seventh-century monasteryteacher in France, got his materials from (1) variorum Virgil Scholia (of Donatus, etc.), (2) brief marginal notes in a MS of the Bible (Itala). The following list mentions only the archetype gloss and ignores the derivatives. It omits the items in the Liber Glossarum culled from Isidore's Etymologies; the items of the Nonius Glossary (C.G.L. V 637-51); the items found only in late MSS of the 'omnium gatherum' type, such as Cass. 90 (C.G.L. V 559-83), Vat. 1468 (C.G.L. V 490-519); and, of course, Scaliger's heterogeneous and 'doctored' collection (C.G.L. V 589-614). acalanthis cardellus, alibi carduelis, avis vepribus adsueta (V 161, 26-27) ABSTR.
