_Bive and Chute Lambs_ (No. 6. p. 93.).--I do not know whether my
answer to your correspondent's inquiry about _bive_ and chute lambs
will be satisfactory, inasmuch as the price he gives of "_bive_" lambs
"apeece" is larger than the price of the "chute." Twin lambs are still
called _bive_ lambs on the borders of Sussex and Kent; and chute lambs
are fat lambs.

_Chuet_ is an old word signifying a fat greasy pudding. It is rightly
applied to Falstaff:--

"Peace, _chewet_, peace."

_Latin Names of Towns_.--"M." (No. 25. p. 402.) wishes for some guide
with reference to the Latin names of towns. A great deal of assistance
may be obtained from an octavo volume, published anonymously, and
bearing the title "Dictionnaire Interprète-manuel des Noms Latins
de la Géographie ancienne et moderne; pour servir à l'Intelligence
des Auteurs Latins, principalement des Auteurs Classiques; avec les
Désignations principales des Lieux. Ouvrage utile à ceux qui lisent
les Poëtes, les Historiens, les Martyrologes, les Chartes, les vieux
Actes," &c. &c. A Paris, 1777.
