on, I believe, upon his holding a _Peculiar_, and not as an archpriest. H. T. ELLACOMBE. Clyst St. George. _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. M. H. R. _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.

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_ (one single name). G. L. S. _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.
