p. 358, in that part called ' History of Fez and Morocco ' is the following :

" Their whole Xavy consists of three or four Ships, mounting sixteen or twenty small Guns, and a few Row-Boats ; accordingly about thirty Years ago. a single English small Frigate, with an active Commander, by taking some, and run- ning others ashore, struck such a Terror, that, as is related of other formidable Warriors, the Salle Women used to quiet their untoward Children by telling them Delgarno was coming for them."

This ' Compleat History,' published anony- mously, is, according to the late Sir Robert Lambert Playfair, a pirated translation of Laugier cle Tassy's ' Histoire des Etats Barbaresques,' 1725. Tassy was Commis- saire de la Marine for the King of Spain in Holland. See ' Handbook for Algeria and Tunis,' by Playfair, 3rd ed., 1887, p. 332, Bibliography.

In October, 1716, Capt. Arthur Delgarno, of the twenty-gun ship Hind, fell in with one of the largest ships of the Sallee Rovers, of twenty-four guns, which he engaged for two hours and a half, and compelled to strike. The vessel sank with all her crew immediately after surrendering. The Bridge- water destroyed another mounting eight guns. Vice-Admiral John Baker was then commander-in-chief in the Mediterranean, and cruising against the piratical states.

BAGENAL FAMILY (11 S. v. 328). I have no pedigree of this family, and should feel very grateful to MR. CROW for a copy of any information which he may be able to obtain on the matter. The name has changed from Bagnall to Bagenal, but I have no record of the branch of which I know most having ever spelt it Bagnell. The families of Bagenal, Beauchamp, Col- clough, and Hill have been very intimately connected, so that these names are used now as family Christian names, such as Beau- champ Bagenal Hill, John Colclough Hill, Henry Beauchamp Colclough, &c.

Sir Nicholas Bagnall was M.P. for co. Down in 1585. His second son, Dudley, was ancestor of the Bagenals of Dunleckney, co. Carlow. Either this Dudley or his son of the same name married a daughter of

Beauchamp of co. Carlow. Beauchamp Bagenal of Dunleckney, a son of this mar- riage, was M.P. for Enniscorthy (?), 1761-8; Enniscorthy and Carlow, 1769-76; and Carlow, 1 778-83. A Nicholas Bagenal of Dun- leckney married (I have no record of the date) Anne, a daughter of Sir Thomas Colclough of

Tintern Abbey, co. Wexford, by his wife 1 Martha, a daughter of Archbishop Loftus. A Katherine Colclough was married in. 1746 to Edward Hill of Barn Hill, co. Kildare. Jane, a daughter of Sir Henry Bagenal of Newry, co. Down, married c. 1590 Sir Dudley Loftus.

I feel certain that a good pedigree of the Bagenal family can easily be traced in Ireland, and I would suggest an application to the present occupants of Tintern Abbey, as I believe the late Col. Henry Beauchamp Colclough took a great interest in the genea- logy of his family.

LONDRES : LONDINITJM (11 S. v. 129, 191, 314, 456 ; vi. 32). My contention was that a phonological difficulty, but an historical one, and that while -nia became in French -gne so frequently as to constitute a rule, the conversion of -nium into -gne could not be so easily proved from examples. I gave the instance of dominium = domaine. MR. ANSCOMBE produces somnium ; but this did not become sogne, but songe, although in Italian and Spanish we have sogno and sueno. Nor, in my opinion, does the rule, as a rule, apply to the termination -iv#. Ardonius does not become Antogne, but Antoine. As for Dordogne from Duranius, that river in ancient times was also called Duranonia and Dornonia (De Felice, ' Les Noms de nos Rivieres,' pp. 103, 148), and it is probable that the modern name was derived from one of these. At any rate, the question has only an academic interest, as there is no evidence whatever that London was ever called Londigne in French, and there can scarcely be a doubt that the name Londres was derived directly from the Old- English Lunden.

MARY SEYMOTJR (11 S. vi. 110). Is not your correspondent confusing the bill of attainder framed against Thomas, Lord Seymour, with the Act of Parliament passed to disinherit Mary Seymour, or with the subsequent attainder of her uncle, the Marquis of Northampton, when Queen Mary ascended the throne ? Early in Elizabeth's reign he was restored to his titles, and to some of his lands, but not to Sudeley. In the same year that Mary Seymour was disinherited an Act was passed for the restitution of her patrimony, but, so far as I know, there is no evidence that it was carried out.
