Archdeacon Stubbs). It is, however, certai that the vintner was not a " descendant " o the author (see pedigree of the Kentish famil of Stubbs, beginning with John Stobbes o Eltham, will proved 1556, communicate by Mr. Henry Stubbs of Danby, Bally shannon, in Archceologia Cantiana, vol. xvii p. 209). Wood also says that " near o kin, if not brother or father, to this Phili was John Stubs of Lincoln's Inn. . . .autho of ' A Discovery of a Gaping Gulph ' ' but ' D.N.B.' observes that there is n mention of Philip in the wills of John Stubb and his father, John Stubbe, a country gentleman of Buxton, Norfolk. Wood says thirdly, that Philip Stubbs was a " brothe or near kinsman " of Justinian Stubbs M.A. 1577-8, B.C.L. 1589, of Glouceste Hall, Oxford. This statement, if it can b verified, probably gives the most hopefu clue, since Justinian is an uncommor Christian name. Rauffe Stubbes of St Mary's in Wygford, Lincoln, mentions a son Justinian in his will, proved P.C.C. (3 Chaynay) 1559. In the next century Josep] Stubbs of Stamford, who died about 163C called his eldest son Justinian. This Josep] Stubbs is described in two Visitation pedi grees (see Genealogist, vol. iii. p. 311 ; Har] Soc. vol. Iii. p. 933) as " descended out o Norfolk." G. O. BELLEWES.

EXTBAOBDINABY CONTEMPOBABY ANIMALS.

Will any one who possesses the April number of Je sais tout tell me what land of enormous animal M. Georges Dupuis describes in its pages ? I understand from a note in V Intermediare, of 10 Mai, that the marvellous beast was seen by him in Alaska.

The author of the note, who wishes to learn something positive on the subject of such monsters, says that in September, 1907, M. Del Santo, a painter, found himself in the presence of a creature rather like the Alaskan wonder, but only two metres in

size, in the ruins of the castle of Saint-George, near La Spezia, Italy. " He even made a sketch of this strange animal," but it appears t,~A no one interested himself scientifically

that

in this event."

JOHN PYM'S MOTHEB. Who was this lady ? The ' D. N. B.' gives her as Philippa Coles ; but the Rev. Douglas Macleane in his 'Pembroke College, Oxon ' (1900), p. 43, says she was Sir Richard Carew's daughter Philippa. After Alexander Pym's death she became the second wife of Sir Anthony Rous of East Anthony and Halton, Cornwall, and died in 1620-21.

" MAY JEMMY JOHNSON SQUEEZE ME." For many years I knew this as a very common saying, a kind of affirmation, thus : " Well, if I don't, may Jemmy Johnson squeeze me ! " It is also the last line of each verse of a street ballad called * The Birmingham Boy in London.' Was this proverbial Jemmy Johnson a man of note ? THOS. RATCLIFFE.

In the hot clasp of Victory ? I have made a pretty careful search in all the books of quotations to which I have access, but in vain. LEWIN HILL, C.B.
