Replace the syntax List$Name with List[["Name"]] and see if things work better.
'[[' does not do the partial matching that '$' does. E.g., x <- list(AB=10, BC=20, CD=30) x$A # returns 10 because "A" is the initial part of exactly one name in x, "AB" x[["A"]] # returns NULL However, if you have y <- list(AB=1, AC=2, AD=3) then y$A will return NULL because there is not a unique partial match to "A" among the names of y.
