317. _Sir Henry Tichborne's Journal._--I should be obliged to any of
your numerous correspondents or readers for any information given
respecting a diurnal written by Sir Henry Tichborne, third baronet of
Tichborne, co. Hants, of his _Travells into France, Italy, Loretto,
Rome, and other places, in the years 1675, 1676, and 1678_.
Is the original in existence, or where might this MS. be found? Has any
of your readers seen or heard of it?
I may here remark it is not in the possession of the family, neither
have they yet been able to trace it.

318. _Round Towers at Bhaugulpore._--Lord Valentia (_Travels to India,
&c._) gives views of these towers, and the following description of
them:--
"They much resemble those buildings in Ireland, which have
hitherto puzzled the antiquaries of the sister kingdoms, excepting
that they are more ornamented. It is singular that there is no
tradition concerning them, nor are they held in any respect by the
Hindoos of this country. The Rajah of Jyenagur considers them as
holy, and has erected a small building to shelter the great number
of his subjects, who annually come to worship here."
This is but a meagre account of them; and if any of your readers can
give further information respecting them, and especially on the religion
of those who go to worship at them, they will confer a great favour on
your querist. Bhaugulpore seems to be about half-way between Calcutta
and Patna, at some distance off the great road; and Jyenagur must be
some 800 miles distant. The dominant race in the latter are Rajpoots,
but there appear to be inferior races; which are the worshippers? What
is the meaning of Bhaugulpore? has it any relation to Baal? Jeypoor is
another name for Jyenagur.
DE CAMERA.
319. _Johannes Trithemius._--In my possession is a book entitled _Liber
de Scriptoribus Ecclesiasticis_, by the above author; the date of its
publication 1494. Can any one inform me who Trithemius was, and whether
the book, in point of accuracy, is to be relied on?
A. W. H.
320. _Races in which Children are named after the Mothers._--Will some
correspondent favour me with a list of the races in which the children
are named, or take their titles, or inherit property after their
mothers, and not after their fathers; and where descent in any form is
reckoned on the mother's side? I have a list of some, but I fear a very
imperfect one; and all additions to it, with a memorandum of the
authority on which the statement is made, will be very valuable to me. I
wish the instances to be fetched as well from ancient as from modern
nations.
THEOPHYLACT.
321. _Foreign Ambassadors, Ministers, Envoys, and Residents from Foreign
Courts._--Will any of your readers inform me where there may be found
the best, or any list of personages filling these diplomatic posts,
between the 1st of King Henry VIII. and the end of the reign of King
James II.?
