representative of the bigot and the persecutor, we need but turn to the older editions of Fox's _Book of Martyrs_, where the Pagan persecutors of the early Christians are usually arrayed in the armour of Spanish soldiers, and sometimes graced with tremendous 'bigotes.'" 2nd edit. 80-82. Mr. Trench's derivation of _bigot_ is, I think, very preferable to those you cite. C. H. COOPER. _Davies Queries_ (Vol. iv., p. 256.).--LLAW GYFFES asks for a correct description of the monument erected to Sir John Davys, Davis, or Davies, in St. Martin's church. Perhaps the following will answer his purpose: it is extracted from one of a series of MS. volumes in my possession, in the autograph of John Le Neve:-- "On the 3rd pillar, on the south range, a plain white marble monument, in memory of Sir _John Davis_, Knight. Inscrip.: "D. O. M. S. Johannes Davys, Equestris Ordinis, quondam attornati Regii Generalis amplissima Provincia regno Hib. functus.

RIMBAULT. _Fawsley, Heraldic Atchievement_ (Vol. v., p. 297.).--See Baker's _Northamptonshire_, vol. i. p. 385-6., where the shield of the knightly quarterings is noticed in describing the Manor house. r. _Old Scots March_ (Vol. v., pp. 104. 235.).--Your correspondent E. N., after quoting a passage from Mr. Tytler's _Dissertation on Scottish Music_, says he has "never yet been able to meet with any of the _ports_ here referred to." I have the pleasure to inform him that several curious ancient _ports_ have been preserved, and may be found in the _Skene MS._, and in _Gordon of Straloch's Lute Book_.
