VALENCIA OR VALENTIA.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,-In your notice last week of Mr. Kipling's "Songs from Books" the writer says, "Surely he meant Valentia in Ireland, not Valencia in Spain," but the correct spelling of Valencia (Island) in Ireland is with a c, not with a t.—I am, Sir, &c., The Well House, Banstead, Surrey. AILEEN ARTHUR. [The gazetteers give an option; the Viscounty is of Valentia and the Post Office Guide gives Valencia.—ED. Spectator.]
