of " howlers " given in • your article on the subject in your issue of April 18th reminded me of an expression used by an English-educated Persian gentleman in a letter that I recently received from him. He inquired after the health of all my " male and female de- pendants and kips and cats." No doubt he had seen the expression "kith and kin," and "kith" had been associated in his mind with " kittens."—I am, Sir, Sze., F. H. TYRRELL, Lieut.-GeneraL
