It is hardly so impossible to identify the animals mentioned by your correspondent J. B. as he supposes. _Glead_ is the A.-S. _glida_ or _kite_, though, in our version of Deut. xiv. 13., both _glede_ and _kite_ are mentioned. _Ringteal_ or _ringtail_ is the female of the _Circus cyaneus_ or hen-harrier, another species of falcon. _Greas' head_ and _baggar_ refer to the same animal (the badger), for there is no wonder that a scribe who writes _greas' head_ for _gray's head_ should write also _baggar_ for _badger_. This latter animal has a variety of names by which he is known in one and the same district, e.g. _gray_ or _graye_, _bawson_ or _bowson_, _brock_ and _badger_, and in _our_ churchwardens' accounts these names occur indiscriminately. I hope some one will be able to point out the origin of paying for the destruction of these animals out of the parochial funds; I have frequently searched without success such authorities as I have access to. The earliest entry of the kind in the books of this parish (which date from 1520) is in 1583. I subjoin a few extracts, which afford a curious instance of the respective prices put upon the heads of these animals at a time when such entries occur; as, "1587 for ij dyverse p'achers for iij sermones iijs iiijd. 1583 It[=m] for iiij fox heads xvjd 1586 -- ij fox heads ijs 1589 -- catte heades iiijd 1590 -- xij bulspyncke (bulfinch) heades. vjd " -- vj crowe heades jd " -- an urchen (hedghog) heade ijd 1596 -- a grayes head vjd 1620 -- a bawson head xijd 1621 -- tow fox cub heads xijd " -- vij hedghoge heads xiiijd 1626 -- a wylde catt head ijd 1736 -- an otter head xijd 1741 -- a fulmart's head iiijd " -- a ffoomard's head iiijd 1744 -- 3 marts heads is"
