 NOTES AND QUERIES. [n s. x. D EC. 12, i9u.

Siterop stocking " ; " two pare of leather Yamosioes, and one of clothe."

Could any reader of ' N. & Q.' explain what is meant by Pteropus, Siterop, Yamo- sioes ? It is possible that the transcript in Pennant's ' Tours ' only gives the nearest approach to the form of the words in the original document ; but as the original is now lost, the words as given by Pennant are the only clue. I am under the impression that these words puzzled Pennant himself when he put them in the first edition of his 'Tours' (1783) in italics; and the fact that his son, David Pennant, in editing his deceased father's ' Tours ' in 1810, and Sir John Rhys in editing them in 1883, left them in italics and unexplained, suggests that they puzzled them also.

T. LLECHID JONES.

O'NEILL. Who is at present considered the representative of the historical family of O'Neill, through an uninterrupted male descent ? ZANONI.

THEOLOGICAL PARADOXES. Has any book been published on this subject in the style of De Morgan's ' Budget of Paradoxes ' (a most entertaining work) ? I. HUSTON.

MEDAL. I have a small gold medal which has on its face the figure of a youth holding a sword in one hand and a sheaf of corn in the other. The inscription on the face of the medal is, 1787 PAR. ORES. TRA: CON- CORDIA. RES ; that on the reverse being, MO: ORD: PROVLN: FOEDER: BELG. AD LEG. IMP.

What event does the medal commemo- rate ? Was it the temporary cessation of 'the Belgian revolution consequent on the revocation of the Emperor Joseph II. 's edicts ? R. VAUGHAN GOWER.

Ferndale Lodge, Tunbridge Wells.

GERMAN CRITICS ON INDIA. The late Prof. Cramb in his ' Germany and England, 1914 (London edition, p. 24; New York edition, p. 27), represents a school of German critics as saying this :

" India is not only the Italy of Asia ; it is not only the land of romance, of art and beauty. It is in religion earth's central shrine. India i.s

religion YOU, the conquerors, borrowers of

your own religion, have come to the most original race of this planet, and asked them to borrow from the borrowers ! "

In what German work can such language be found ? ALBERT J. EDMCJNDS.

Historical Society of Pennsylvania.
