_Rev. Philip Morant._--I shall be obliged by any information respecting the lineage of the Rev. Philip Morant, who wrote a _History of the County of Essex_; and whether he was an ancestor of the Morants of Brockenhurst Park, Hants. He was born at St. Saviour's, in the Isle of Jersey, Oct. 6, 1700; entered, 1717, Pembroke College, Oxford. He was presented to {35} the following benefices in the county of Essex, viz. Shallow, Bowells, Bromfield, Chicknal, Imeley, St. Mary's, Colchester, Wickham Bishops, and to Oldham in 1745. He died Nov. 25, 1770; and his only daughter married Thomas Astle, Esq., F.R.S. and F.A.S. He was son of Stephen Morant. If any of the sons or daughters of that eminent antiquary Thomas Astle will give me any information relative to the pedigree of Philip Morant, M.A., they will greatly oblige me. H. H. M. Malta. _The Position of Suffragan Bishops in Convocation._--In Chamberlayne's _Magnæ Britanniæ Notitia, or The Present State of Great Britain_, 1729, p. 73., it is said: "All suffragan bishops and deans, archdeacons, prebendaries, rectors, and vicars, have privileges, some by themselves, others by proxy or by representatives, to sit and vote in the lower house of convocation." Is there authority for this statement as regards suffragan bishops? There is no writ or mandate that I have seen for their appearance. W. FRASER. Tor-Mohun. _Cambridge Mathematical Questions._--Can any of your readers inform me whether the University of Cambridge puts forth, by authority, a collection of all the questions proposed to candidates for the B.A. degree? If not, how can one obtain access to the questions which have been asked during the last forty or fifty years?
