It would seem that M. has confounded with the Canons of 1603 an older form, which was prescribed by Archbishop Whitgift in 1584 (Cardwell, _Docum. Annals_, i. 414.). The words of that form agree with your correspondent's quotation; and it has also a bearing on his assumption that the 36th canon was originally presented for subscription in Latin, and that the English version has been wrongfully substituted. Not only is there (as I believe) no proof of this assumption; but we have the fact that a set of _English_ articles, substantially the same with those of the 36th canon of 1603 (or rather 1604), was subscribed for twenty years before the body of the canons existed. J. C. R. _Few Descents through a long Period._--The pedigree of the noble family of Dartmouth, given by Edmondson in his _Baronagium Genealogicum_, No. 197., contains an extraordinary instance of few descents through a long period of time. The stock of descent is Thomas Legge, Sheriff of London in 1343, and Lord Mayor in 1346. He had a son, Simon, whose son, Thomas, had issue, William, who had issue an only son, Edward. This Edward had thirteen children, one of whom, John, is stated to have died in 1702, aged 109. Supposing Thomas Legge to have been 46 years old at his Mayoralty (_i.e._ born in 1300) these six lives would extend over more than 400 years. This is so extraordinary that I append a Query. Is Edmondson's _Genealogy_ correct, or are there any intermediate descents omitted? The ages at death of four only of Edward's children are given, and they, too, are remarkable: the before-mentioned John, aged 109 years; Elizabeth (unmarried), 105 years; Margaret (married ---- Fitzgerald, Esq.), 105 years; and Anne (married ---- Anthony, Esq.), 112 years. Can any of your correspondents inform me the years when any of these died, or where they are buried? to enable me to verify these facts by certificates. C. H. B. 30. Clarence Street, Islington. _Tandem D. O. M._ (Vol. iii, p. 62.).--Looking over some of the back numbers, I see under this heading a very tantalising announcement of a rich store of venerable literature in an ancient mansion in a distant part of Cornwall. It would be very desirable to know the _habitat_ of such an unique collection of books. Will FABER MARINUS gratify the readers of "N. & Q." by allowing it to be known? S. S. _Land Holland_ (Vol. ii., p. 267.).--Has not your querist J. B. C. mistaken the initial letter here,--read _H_ for _M_? I have often met in Court Rolls with Land _Molland_, viz., held by _mill_ service. G. A. C. _Arc de Arbouin_ (Vol. v., p. 249.).--In East Anglia the Hornbeam (_Carpinus betulus_) is called _Harber_ or _Arber_ wood. G. A. C. _Derivation of "Martinique"_ (Vol. v., p. 11.).--M. de Magnard, in the opening chapter of his novel of _Outre-mer_, says the name of "Martinique" is derived from that which the island had received from the Caribs:
