GAMECOCK. _John Lord Berkeley_ (Vol. v., p. 275.) never was Bishop of Ely. John Lord Berkeley of Stratton, the second son of John Berkeley, was a British admiral; he died on the 27th of July, 1696-7, not more than thirty-four years of age, during eight of which he had filled the office of admiral. See Rose's _Biographical Dictionary_. TYRO. Dublin. _History of Commerce_ (Vol. v., p. 276.).--C. I. P. will, I think, find much of the information required in David Macpherson's _Annals of Commerce_, London, 1805, 4 vols. 4to. particularly in vols. iii. and iv.; also in _The History of European Commerce with India_, by the same author, London 1812, 4to. Neither of them is entered in the Bodleian Catalogue. C. I. R. _Game of Curling_ (Vol. v., p. 13.).--The third volume of Tytler's _Lives of Scottish Worthies_ (No. 37. of the _Family Library_) contains a series of antiquarian illustrations, of which the last is devoted to "Ancient Scottish Games and Amusements." The author refers particularly to the MS. accounts of the Lord High Treasurer during the reign of King James IV. (1488-1513), in which, however, there appears to be no notice of the "roaring game." The origin of this favourite amusement is certainly involved in mystery, and I have repeatedly failed in my endeavours to ascertain the meaning of the name by which the game is known. On consulting the abridgment of Jamieson's _Dictionary_ for the derivation, I find the following:-- "Perhaps from Teut. _krollen_, _krull-en_, sinuare, flectere, whence E. _curl_; as the great art of the game is to make the stones bend or curve in towards the mark, when it is so blocked up that they cannot be directed in a straight line." E. N. _Ancient Trees_ (Vol. iv., pp. 401. &c.).--Notwithstanding the assertion of Dr. Johnson, many fine specimens of timber have long existed to the north of the Tweed. At p. 20. of the _Edinburgh Antiquarian Magazine_ (Edin. 1848) will be found a "List of Scottish Trees, of remarkable magnitude, as they existed in 1812," including numerous examples of the oak, larch, ash, elm, beech, silver fir, Scots fir, sycamore, chesnut, black poplar, and yew. One of the largest in the catalogue is the great yew at Fortingal, in Perthshire, measured by the Hon. Judge Barrington in 1768, when its circumference was no less than fifty-two feet. E.
