Tomus i. S. anno 1675, 1679. Has any one of these three copies a separate leaf, entitled _Ad Bibliopegos?_ If so, which of them? Has the copy with the date 1679 _Testimonia_ at the end? If so, how many pages do they consist of? Have they a separate title and a separate sheet of _errata?_ Is there a duplicate copy of this separate title at the end of the Preface? Tomus ii. 1689 How many pages of _Testimonia_ are there at the end of the Preface? Is there, in any one of these volumes, the name of any former owner, any book number, or any other mark by which they can be recognised (for instance, that of the Duke de la Valliere)? Should there be any other copy of any one of these tomes in the British Museum, these questions will extend to that volume also. G.J.R. GORDON. Stockholm, Dec. 17. 1850 * * * * * REPLIES TO MINOR QUERIES. _Fossil Deer (not Elk) of Ireland, C. Megaceros_ (Vol. ii., p. 494.).--Your correspondent W.R.C. will find in Mr. Hart's description of a skeleton of this animal (Dublin, 1825), in a pamphlet, published by W. Richardson (Dublin, 1846, M'Glashan), in Professor Owen's _British Fossil Mammalia_, and in the _Zoologist_ (Van Voorst) for 1847 and for 1848, p. 2064., all that is known and much that has been imagined on the subject of his inquiry. The rib which he mentions is well known, and is in fact one of the principal bones of contention between the opposing theorists. I never before heard the story of the specimen shot in 1533, although several years ago I devoted some time to the subject. I am inclined to suspect that it must have been found in some Irish manuscript which has been discovered, since (in the year 1847) some bones of the fossil deer were found in a certain {27} lake in the west of Ireland in company with those of a turkey. (See _Zoologist_, ub. sup.) W.R.F. Lincoln's Inn, Dec. 21. 1850. "_Away, let nought to Love displeasing_" (Vol. ii., p. 519.).--This song, usually entitled "_Winifreda_," has been attributed to Sir John Suckling, but with what justice I am unable to say. It has also acquired additional interest from having been set to music by the first Earl of Mornington, the father of the Duke of Wellington. The author should certainly be known; and perhaps some of your correspondents can furnish a clue by which he may be discovered. BRAYBROOKE. _Red Sindon_ (Vol. ii., pp. 393. 495.).--I have only just seen your correspondent, B.W.'s Query respecting the "red sindon," and refer him to Du Cange, where he will find-- "Sindon pro specie panni [Byssus tenuis], etc." It was a manufacture that was used for dresses as well as hangings, and is constantly mentioned in inventories and descriptions of the middle ages.
