** "A Case of Identity", the second Lord Darcy story, shares a title with the third Sherlock Holmes short story, although the mysteries in the two stories are widely different.
** In "Matter of Gravity", the local policeman suggests that the victim was attacked by a demon or fire elemental; Master Sean soon disproves the hypothesis, and it seems to have been thrown in largely as an excuse to have somebody say "Elemental, my dear Doctor".
** ''Too Many Magicians'' has this exchange, which is nearly identical to the "dog in the night-time" one from "Silver Blaze":
