OLD LONDON LODGES . No . V . No . 55 and 5 6 of 1738 , seem to be wanting in 1763 , while No . 51 in 1738 , seems to be No . 59 in 176 S . No . 5 8 in 1736 is 51 in 1763 , while No . 59 in 173 S is out in 17 ( 13 . No . 60 in 1738 isclearly 52 in 1763 . Nos . 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , seem all to be missing in 1763 , while No . 05 in 1738 ,

appears to be No . 53 of 17133 . No . . 67 , 69 , of i 73 Sare wanting in 1763 , thus the 70 of 173 8 appears to be No . 5 8 of j 763 , and the 71 of 1738 the 60 of 1763 . Either 72 , or 73 , of 1738 , is the 6 3 of 1763 , while the 68 of 173 S , is clearly the 68 of 1763 , curiously enough . This mystery of numbers is hard to explain . No 74 and 7 r in 1738 , seem

to be missing in 1763 , while No . 76 of 173 8 is No . 61 ) of 1763 . No . 77 of 173 8 is No . 70 of 1763 , though Nos . 78 , 79 , and 80 , are out in 1763 . No . 81 of 1738 is No . 79 of 1763 , and No . 82 of 173 81 s No . 82 of 1763 . No . 83 of 1738 appears to have become 84 in 1763 . No . 85 and 86 in I 758 are respectively 8 i ; and 86 in 1763 , though

No . 87 in 173 8 is out in 1763 . No . 88 , 89 , and 90 , in 1738 are all missing in 1763 , but No . 91 of 173 8 is No . 89 of 1763 . No . 92 and 93 in 1738 are wanting in 1763 , though No . e > 4 of 1738 is No . 90 of 1763 . No . 95 in . 1738 is No . 91 of 176 3 and No . 9 6 of 1738 is No . 92 of 1763 . Nos . 97 , 08 , and 99 in 1738 seems to be out in 1763 , and

it may be said that Nos . too , 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 , 10 ; , 106 , in 173 8 are difficult to trace in 1763 . No . 9 6 in that year , conseciated May , 3 , 1738 , and No . 100 consecrated Jan , 27 th , 1738 , anil mentioned also in 1763 , as existing arc probably represented by two of the lodges of 1730 , though all but impossible seemingly to identify . The next

London lodge enumerated in 1738 is No . 108 Playhouse yard , Blackfriars , consecrated August 24 , 1739 . A question has occurrcd ' to me during these studies , how far the dates of consecration of lodges given by Anderson and Cole are correct . 1 doubt their absolute correctness for various reasons , though probably they are approximately right . I hope to conclude these notes in the next Freemason . MASONIC STUDENT .

QUERY FOR BRO . D . MURRAY LYON . I do not know whether my eUcemed friend , Bro . D . Murray Lyon , is too busy to attend to archaelogical matters , but I would fain ask him a question , which , perhaps , he best can reply to of any . Does he know ol any historical evidence for the alleged meeting of the 'Templar

Order ; it Ilolyrood Palace , in 1 745 , ( September 24 th ) , " ut dicitur , " when Charles Edward Stuart was admitted and elected Grand Master of the Order ? Do any minutes exist of such an event ? Is it true that he retained the Grand Mastership of Scottish Templarism until his death ? Like Bro . D . Murray Lyon , I am , 1 confess , very doubtful of a Scottish Jacobite use of Masonry at any rate . MASONIC STUDENT .

STATIONERS' MASONIC CALENDAR . Many thanks to Bro . Gould , for bis information . MASONIC STUDENT .

OLD LONDON LODGES . Could ' Bro . Hughan give me a list in the Christmas Number of the Masonic Magazine of the 106 London Lodges of 1738 , and how far they are represented by existing lodges in 1878 . How many are still extant , if under different names , how many are absorbed in either lodges , how many are defunct . If he could , it would be a very valuable contribution to our lodge life-history . MASONIC STUDENT .
