entry of the arms of Audley of S waff ham, viz., Gules, a fret or (these arms are also given in Blomefield's 'Norfolk,' vii. 506 ; as the arms of Audley), from which it may be assumed that Joan was of the family of Audley of Norfolk.

This family was descended from Nicholas, 1st Baron Audley of Heleigh, through James Touchet, 7th Lord Audley, whose eldest son (by his second wife, Eleanor, natural daughter of Edmond, Earl of Kent, by Con- stance, daughter of Edmund de Langley, Duke of York) Sir Humphry, slain at Tewkes- bury, " took the name of Audley, from whom the Audleys of Norfolk are de- scended " (Collins, 1741, vol. iv. p. 16).

I am most desirous of ascertaining where Joan Audley comes into the pedigree of the Audleys of Norfolk. There is a pedigree in Harl. Soc. xxxii. 10 (' Visitation of Nor- folk, 1563, 1589, and 1613') which shows that Sir Humphry had two daughters, but their names are not given ; both, how- ever, are entered as married, but neither to a Dethick. Was Joan one of these, and did she marry Philip Dethick as a first or second husband ?

Unfortunately I have no dates of birth, marriage, or death of Philip Dethick and Joan his wife. In some of the early Visita- tions and Peerages daughters were not in- variably inserted.

I shall be much beholden to any of your readers who can reply to the above inquiries, or refer me to any work containing a pedigree of the Audleys of Norfolk in which Joan Audley is included and her marriage to Philip Dethick recorded.

The favour of replies direct will be much appreciated. FRANCIS H. RELTON.

APPLES : THEIR OLD NAMES (10 S. viii. 429; ix. 297, 314, 495; x. 15). " Green- ing " is in England, it appears, the name both of an apple and of a pear which when ripe are of a greenish hue. In the United States the term is restricted to the former, of which there are several varieties, the Rhode Island product being held in most favour. N. W. HILL.

PETER QUIVEL, BISHOP OF EXETER (10 S. x. 30, 112). Thomas Staveley, 'History of Churches,' 1712, p. 202, quotes this bishop's name, from the acts of the Synod of Exeter in Spelman's ' Concilia,' as " Wivil." The form Quinel would represent the modern Wynell, which is a Cornish name. Wivell belongs to Devonshire, and Wyvill to York- shire. W. C. B.

STEERING-WHEEL (10 S. x. 48, 98). In Falconer's ' Universal Dictionary of the Marine,' 1769, s.v. ' Helm,' is the information that the wheel was used in large vessels, but was unnecessary in small ones. It would appear that theoarrel was horizontal ; but the description is not absolutely clear, and the engraved plate does not contain the particulars referred to in the article.

" BLOODING A WITCH " (10 S. ix. 328, 397). The power of witches can be undone by other means than shedding their blood. Their mischief can also be undone by shed- ding the blood of their victims. A popular story, well known throughout Europe, tells how a princess, betrothed to a king, is changed by her stepmother to a duck. The bird comes by night to visit her betrothed, and in human voice, which she still retains, laments her fate. Her betrothed sheds three drops of her blood, and restores her to her original form. E. YARDLEY.

Fairfax's ' Discourse ' was printed from a copy seen by William Grainge of Harro- gate in 1882. The extract given by MR. ELIOT HODGKIN is on pp. 88-9 of that edition. The book is, I believe, not scarce, for a copy was priced recently in the cata- logue of a Yorkshire bookseller at two shillings. S. L. PETTY.

AKBAR'S LIKENESS (10 S. ix. 211, 332). In the frontispiece and at p. 221 of Prof. Lane-Poole's ' Mediaeval India ' is a portrait of Akbar along with those of the Emperors Babar, Humayun, and Jahangir. The four are reproduced from British Museum MS. Add. 20,734. For Jahangir's description of his father's personal appearance see p. 246 of the above book.

I do not understand what the querist means by "Mohammedan" type. "Mohamme- dan " is not a race-name. Babar, the grand- father of Akbar, was half Turk, half Mongol or Moghul. " His descendants introduced a strong Rajput strain by their marriages with Hind a princesses." ALEX. RUSSELL. Stromness, Orkney.

LLECHYLCHED, ANGLESEY (10 S. x. 170). MR. ACKERLEY should consult * Mona Antiqua Restaurata,' pp. 154 (for Llach ^ynfarwy) and 379 (for Llechcynfarwy), explaining partly Llach (or Llech) in Llechylched. Cylched = culcita (Latin) : composition of word as in chwe' cheiniog '= sixpence). H. H. JOHNSON.
