_Plague Stones_ (Vol. v., p. 308.).--The three following places, where these stones of exchange were erected, have just occurred to me, and I forward them to add to the desired list:--

At Derby the stone was known by the name of the Headless Cross; and it has within the last few years been removed for preservation to the Arboretum in that town.

A stone of a similar name existed at Shrewsbury.

At East Retford, in Nottinghamshire, was also one, called the Broad Stone.
