A new editor makes his appearance in the January part

of the Oxford New English Dictionary. This is Mr. 0. T. Onions, who has undertaken the latter part of " S," and now issues the section " Su—Subterraneous" (Clarendon Press, 25. 6d.), in the ninth volume of this monumental work. Tojudge from the learned article on the prefix " sub-", which alone occupies six pages, Mr. Onions will worthily preserve the high standard of comprehensive accuracy set by his colleagues.
