NOTES AND FRAGMENTS.

A Correction.—In an article entitled Landmarks Preserved by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, in the January Quarterly, the chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution at San Antonio is credited with having contributed twenty-five dollars for the preservation of the old Spanish mission San Josė. The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Texas were the first to respond to the appeal made by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas for aid in the preservation of these ancient buildings, and it was they instead of the Daughters of the American Revolution who made the contribution mentioned. It is encouraging that these organizations have all expressed a desire to assist in the preservation of the only landmarks in Texas coeval with the period of history whose memory these societies were organized to perpetuate. We hope for liberal assistance from them.
