_Gourders of Rain_ (No. 21. p. 335., No. 22. p. 357.).--Has the word
"Gourders" any connection with _Gourtes_, a stream, or pool? See
Cotgrave's _Dict._, and Kelham's _Dict. of the Norman Language_.

_Geotere_ is the A.-S. word for "melter;" but may not the term be
applied to the pourer out of anything? Gourd is used by Chaucer in the
sense of a vessel. (See _Prol. to the Manciple's Tale_.)

_Urbanus Regius_ (No. 23. p. 367.).--The "delightful old lady" is
informed that "Urbanus Regius" (or Urban le Roi) was one of the
reformers, a native of Langenargen, in Germany. His works were published
under the title of _Vitet et Opera Urbani Regii, &c._, Norib. 1562. His
theological works have been translated into English, as the lady is
aware.
