There is perhaps no complete list of Somerset Brasses which is easily accessible (if one exists I hope the reference will be published). E.V. will, however, get a good deal of information—and discover at least the location of over 70 brasses —if he will pool the details to be obtained from the following sources:—

1. Proceedings of the Somerset Archaeological Society, Vol. 52 (for 1906) contains an index of over 30 Somerset brasses described or referred to in the first 52 volumes of the Proceedings.
2. Macklin's Brasses of England (County index end of book).
3. Suffling's English Church Brasses (County index).
4. Rambles about Bath (Tunstall-Peach).

All the books mentioned may borrowed from the Bath Municipal Lending Library. J.F.B., Bath.
