Sedgefield, on methods of place‑name study; Eilert Ekwall, on the Celtic element in English place‑names and on the Scandinavian element; F. M. Stenton, on the English element and on personal names occurring in place‑names; R. E. Zachrisson, on the French element; O. G. S. Crawford, on place‑names and archaeology; H. C.
