Notes from the Diocesan Registers.

It is proposed, from time to time, to publish m the " Gazette," any matters of interest which may be discovered during the process of classifying and arranging the Diocesan Records. This is done for a two-fold purpose : First, m order to place such information within reach of the Parishes and Church people, and secondly, to invite corrections, if such be necessary and to ask any who possess information with regard to the early days of the Church m this Diocese to kindly communicate such information to the Diocesan Secretary. . As a beginning, a list of the European Churches m the Diocese, with the name of Dedication, and date of Consecration, is published this month. In almost every case the dates given m this list have been verified from the actual Deed of Consecration.
