CATHOLIC BAPTISMS AT CARSHALTON, SURREY, BY FR. JOHN AMBROSE WOODS , O.P. , 1798-1799. These well -written certificates or registers of baptisms, separately described , were sent me by Fr. Joseph Mandy, O.P. , from the Dominican archives at Hinckley, Leicestershire , and transcribed by me. So far, no other registers of Carshalton have been brought to notice; so it seems well to preserve the contents by printing at once. HANSOM .

* Thereare earlier entries of the Dearlove family in the registers of Cheam, Surrey (C.R.S. ii ) . The name was deemed by M. A. Lower to be derived from deer, and low a hill, or the German Deorlaf . But the Wakefield Court Rolls (Yorks. Archæol . Records) give a family of " Dernelof " in 1275, which in a few years becomes Dernelove " or Derneluve." The neighbouring river Dearn passes by Darton (old Dertun) and Darfield (old Derefeld); and it may. be conjectured that there was a lof, low, or hill called from the river Dearn Without knowledge of the families, it is impossible to say whether the actual family names are as in clarendon type.
