NOTES AND QUERIES, in s. xi. JUNE 26, 1915.

years later a " second edition " was issued when the wording at the bottom of th cartouche was again altered as follows :

" London. Published by W. Faden, Geo grapher to the King, and H.B.H. the Prince o Wales. Charing Cross, Novr. 24. 1800. Seconr Edit."

As it has been shown that the interval which occurred between the issues of th six large maps indicate only three, five, six seven, and five years respectively, and n publication is recorded after the Gloucester shire map of 1777 was issued, althougl eleven years had passed away, we maj assume that that map concluded the life work of Isaac Taylor of Ross.

HERALDIC QUERY: BOTELER ARMS (11 S xi. 399). I think that in all probability your correspondent will find that the shield of arms about which he makes inquiries belongs to the family of Boteler.

It is strange, however, that that very useful encyclopaedia of armorial bearings, Edmondson's ' Complete Body of Heraldry (2 vols., 1780), whilst giving in the aug- mented edition of Glover's ' Ordinary of Arms ' to be found in vol. i. the first and fourth quarterings of the shield inquired about, Or, a chief indented azure, as belonging to the family of Boteler, and to no other, yet in its ' Alphabet of Arms ' (in vol. ii.), in which several families of that name are given as bearing variants of the second and third quarterings of the above shield (Gules, three covered cups or), assigns to none of them the coat given above from Glover's ' Ordinary.' In one isolated instance, however, it is attributed to the family of Butler, which is, of course, only a less archaic form of the same name.

I regret that I can make no suggestion as to the alliance indicated by the impaled coat. J. S. UDAL, F.S.A.

These arms are Butler impaling Kavanagh. P. M. gives no clue to date, but they might be those of Sir James Butler, Knt., of Polestown, co. Kilkenny, who married Sabh, daughter of Donel Reagh MacMorrogh Kavanagh, Lord of Ferns, co. Wexford, and died in 1467. (See Burke's ' Peerage,' sub ' Or- monde.') H. J. B. CLEMENTS.

The arms described are those of Butler, Earl of Ormond, impaling, apparently, those of Dillon. S. D. C.

" THE DEAN OF RIPON'S FAMOUS SIMILI- TUDE " (11 S. xi. 402). Arnold's own foot- note in later editions explains the reference :

" In a letter to The Times respecting Dr. Pusey and Dr. Temple, during the discussion caused by Dr. Temple's appointment to the See of Exeter, Dr. Temple was the total leper, so evidently a leper that all men would instinctively avoid him, and he ceased to be dangerous ; Dr. Pusey was the partial leper, less deeply tainted, but on that very account more dangerous, because less likely to terrify people from coming near him. A piece of polemical humour, racy, indeed, but hardly urbane, and still less Christian I " ' St. Paul and Protestantism,' third edition, 1876, p. ix.

ROCHDALE DIALECT WOBDS OF THE FIFTIES (US. xi. 295, 403). A few days ago a man was delivering oil here. I was standing by watching him. He had mislaid one of his utensils, and said to me, " I suppose, sir, you haven't a small tundish you could lend me ? " So the word is evidently not obsolete in this county.

In allusion to MB. RATCLIFFE'S reference
 * o the word clock = beetle, I may say that

n John Clare's time a familiar child's name for the ladybird was " clock-a-clay."

s fifty - first sonnet in ' The Village

instrel ' (vol. ii. p. 199) contains the ollowing :

And lady-cow, beneath its leafy shed, 3all'd when I mix'd with children "clock-a-clay,"

Pruning its red wings on its pleasing bed,
 * lad like myself to shun the heat of day.

CORPUS CHRISTI IN ENGLAND : POST- REFORMATION (11 S. xi. 430). A very nteresting paper by the Rev. D. Edmondes 3wen, Vicar of Llandovery, entitled ' Pre- leformation Survivals in Radnorshire,'

hich appeared in the Transactions of the Hon. Society of Cymmrodorion for 1910-11, ontains evidence of many striking survivals f pre-Reformation practices. It does not lention the observance of Corpus Christi ; ait so many are the survivals recorded that

should be surprised to find that no memory f Corpus Christi survives. Perhaps a uery addressed to the author direct would licit information. H. I. B.

SCHOOL FOLK-LORE (II S. xi. 277, 347, 09). MB. RATCLIFFE'S remarks at the last sference recall a memory of my own boy- ood. One of my teachers had very pro- ounced views on caning, and was a veritable nartinet. Determined to be even with im, I procured some rosin or borax
