map in the first volume does indeed give the whole route and the names of all his stations, with the dates of first arrival or return, and in some cases the bearings. But beyond these data all is unknown. Many of the names are tantalizing in their suggestion of interest : " Last Water Station," " First Camelopardalis Station," "Hot Station," "The Garden," "Puff-adder Halt," "Horse's Grave," "Storm's Grave," "Mountain Station," "Sylvan Sta- tion/' &c.

It is not unlikely that the means for com- pleting the African travels, and for the first time unfolding the story of the Brazilian travels, exist in some attic or lumber-room, where, too, may be found the means of writing an adequate life of this great man. Perhaps some member of his family may, unknowing, possess such materials. If these facts are brought before such a one, I would beg that the records may be permitted to rest in the Hope Department of Zoology in the Uni- versity of Oxford, where they will be avail- able for the use of the student, and whence they may be, at no distant date, issued to the world.

I may refer any who are interested in the question to recent publications upon W. J. Burchell and his collections at Oxford, in Annals and Magazine of Natural History, 1904, pp. 45-62, plates iii. and iv. ; pp. 89- 102 ; pp. 305-23 ; pp. 356-71, plate vi.

CHARLES GODWYN AND BASKOLOGY. The copy of Larramendi's very valuable, but not quite scientific 'Dictionary of the Basktsh Tongue' which is preserved in the Bodleian Library has a book-plate bearing the words 'E Legat. Caroli Godwyn. S.T.B. Coll. Ball. Soc. M.D.CCLXX." Will one of the learned readers of ' N. & Q.' inform us if there is any other evidence to show that Charles Godwyn, Fellow of Balliol College, studied Baskish, as Sir T. Browne, of Norwich, did a century before him ? EDWARD S. DODGSON.

'* To HAVE A MONTH'S MIND." This phrase, meaning to have an ardent desire, is found in Lockhart's 'Life of Sir Walter Scott,' where it is quoted from the novelist's diary. It also occurs in * Hudibras,'in ' Euphues and his England,' and in ' The Two Gentlemen of Verona ' Are any other instances known? GREVILLE WALPOLE, M.A., LL.D.

INGRAM AND LINGEN FAMILIES. Cicely, daughter of an Ingram of Wolford, Warwick- shire, married William Lingen, of Sutton and Stoke Edith, Herefordshire (probably some-

where about the year 1570). Was her father Richard, as stated in Burke's 'Commoners,' iv. 267, or Anthony, as stated in Burke's 'Landed Gentry' (1900), p. 222? She was the sister of John Ingram, who was executed 26 July, 1594, at Newcastle, for being a priest ordained abroad who had returned to Eng- land. JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT.

"SEE HOW THE GRAND OLD FOREST DIES."

Many years ago I read a beautiful poem, by some American author, descriptive of the fine tints in an American forest in autumn, and now cannot find it. The first line was

See how the grand old forest dies. Whence comes it ? JOHN PICKFORD, M. A.

UNRESTORED CHURCHES. There are very few of these left to us. The next trade boom will literally " decimate " most of the rem- nants. Is not this the time to record a list of what is left of them ?

I shall be glad to receive direct from your readers, by means of picture postcards or otherwise, any notices or indications of un- restored churches. Notes even of unrestored portions of churches will be welcome.

PATRICK BELL, LAIRD OF AUTERMONY. Can any reader of 'N. & Q.' give me in- formation about Patrick Bell, of Autermony, born about 1685, son of Alexander Bell, of Autermony ? He married Annabella Stirling, of Craigbarnet, and was some time minister of Port of Monteith. J. M. GRAHAM.

BISHOP OF MAN IMPRISONED, 1722. In a letter from Bath, dated 27 August, 1722, occurs this sentence, " The Imprisonment of the Bishop of Man makes a filthy noise." And again, 6 October, " I hear the Bishop of Man has paid his Fine and has got no Redress. He has the reputation of a very good man." I should be glad to know the name of this bishop, and particulars of the offence for which he suffered imprisonment and fine, and the amount of the latter.

BANKRUPTS IN 1708-9. By the Bankruptcy Act, 1883, sec. 93, the London Bankruptcy Court was united and consolidated with, and made to form a part of, the Supreme Court of Judicature, and the jurisdiction of the London Bankruptcy Court was transferred to the High Court of Justice, and by virtue of an order dated 1 January, 1884, made under sec. 94 of the Act 1883, was assigned to the Queen's Bench Division of the said High
