ftpmail
in response to a specially formatted email request. It was an alternative to
getting the file directly from the FTP server. It was useful to the many people
who didn't have true Internet access - just email. It was also good if access to
the file you wanted was rather poor - you got the ftpmail server to do all the
waiting for you.

Influenza,influenza
after the 1918 & 1957-8 pandemics. The peak around 1935 may reflect
development of the first vacines.

Long Lartin
suggests that rather than the name being taken from an existing geographical
place, it was invented for the prison. The peak just after 1995 may reflect
upgrading as a result of the Woodcock/Learmont reports.

Nigel Jones
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Jones,_Baron_Jones_of_Cheltenham was
the first Liberal Democrat MP for Cheltenham. He got elected in 1992 and
served until 2005. The decline in wring about him after 2005 may be because
of his retirement from politics but also because he's now "The Lord Jones of
Cheltenham".
Another possibility is a systemic issue with the Ngram engine - the curve for
many subjects takes a dip after around 2005.

Australia
in a despatch to Lord Bathurst of 4 April 1817 in which Governor Lachlan
Macquarie acknowledges the receipt of Capt. Flinders' charts of Australia. On
12 December 1817, Macquarie recommended to the Colonial Office that it be
formally adopted. In 1824, the Admiralty agreed that the continent should be
known officially as Australia.
