on, I
believe, upon his holding a _Peculiar_, and not as an archpriest.

_Dogs in Monumental Brasses_ (Vol. ix., p. 126.).--I have always understood
(but I cannot say on any authority) that the dogs at the feet of monumental
effigies of knights were symbolical of _fidelity_. That signification would
certainly be very appropriate in monuments of _crusaders_, where, I
believe, they are generally found. And I would suggest to MR. ALFORD, that
the idea might not have been confined to fidelity in keeping the vow of the
Cross, but might have been extended to other religious vows: in which case
the ladies undoubtedly might sometimes claim the canine appendage to their
effigies. The lion might perhaps symbolise _courage_, in which ladies are
not commonly supposed to excel.

_The Last of the Palaeologi_ (Vol. v., pp. 173. 280. 357.).--The following
scrap of information may be useful to L. L. L. and others, if too long a
time has not gone by since the subject was under discussion. In _The List
of the Army raised under the Command of his Excellency Robert Earle of
Essex_, &c.: London, printed for John Partridge, 1642, of which I have seen
a manuscript copy, the name of Theo. Palioligus occurs as Lieutenant in
"The Lord Saint John's Regiment."

_Long Names_ (Vol. viii., pp. 539. 651.).--Allow me to add the following

correspondents:--_Llanvairpwllgwyngyll_, a living in the diocese of Bangor,
became vacant in March, 1850, by the death of its incumbent, the Rev.
Richard Prichard, aet. {313} ninety-three. The labour of writing the name of
his benefice does not seem to have shortened his days.
The following are the names of two _employes_ in the finance department at
Madrid:--_Don Epifanio Mirurzururdundua y Zengotita_; _Don Juan Nepomuceno
de Burionagonatotorecagogeazcoecha_.
There was, until 1851, a major in the British army named _Teyoninhokarawen_

_Elizabeth Seymour_ (Vol. ix., p. 174.).--According to Collins,--
"Sir E. Seymour, first baronet, married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir
Arthur Champeirion, of Dartington, co. Devon, by whom he had, besides
other issue, a daughter Elizabeth, who married George Cary, of
Cockington, co. Devon. Sir Edward Seymour, third baronet, married Anne,
daughter of Sir William Portman, and left
