NOTES AND QUERIES. [ii s. ix. MAY ie, 191*.

Crest : 'A wild man ppr., wreathed round his head and middle vert " (Horsfield, ' History of Sussex,' i. 581).

Another branch of the family was settled in the city of Oxford, and at Garsington, co. Oxon. LEONARD J. HODSON.

Robertsbridge, Sussex-

I noticed this name last summer over a tiny provision shop in Doveholes, Derby- shire. MARGARET LAVINGTON.

Persons of this name are still living at Matlock and Darley Dale, A number of marriages are recorded in the parish regis- ters of both places The earliest at Darley Dale is 1549 spelt " Wilgoose," which, I believe, is the designation adopted by the owners of the name of Wildgoose to-day. The spelling in the registers is varied in the same way. A. C.

HEART -BURIAL (11 S. viii. 289, 336, 352, 391, 432, 493 ; ix. 38, 92, 234, 275, 375). I saw what remains of the heart in the niche of one of the north-aisle pillars in Woodford Church, Northants (mentioned at the third reference), in September, 1907. I was then told that it was discovered in a box enclosed within the pillar at the restoration of the church in 1867. All that can now be seen is some brown coarse cloth in which the heart was wrapped. It is generally supposed to be the heart of a Trailli, also spelt Trayly or Trey Hi, killed in a Crusade. The Traillis were lords of the manor of Woodford, and patrons of the church.

In the same aisle are what are conjectured to be the effigies, in wood, of Sir Walter de Trailli, 1290, and his wife Alianora, 1316. CHAS. HALL CROUCH.

62, Nelson Road, Stroud Green, N.

In the Dome of the Invalides is buried the heart of " Frede"rique Catherine Sophie Dorothee, Princesse de Wiirtemberg, epouse de Jerome Napoleon, Hoi de Westphalia" She died 28 Nov., 1835.

Among the royal tombs in the Abbaye de Saint Denis is an urn containing the heart of Fran9ois I. This urn is a delicate piece of sculpture by the almost unknown Pierre Bontemps. E. M. F.

"BORE" (11 S. ix. 286, 358). Speaking of ' The Correspondence of Sir William Weller Pepys, 1758-1825,' The Times Lite- rary Supplement of 8 July, 1901, remarked:

" We note that he spells bore ' boar' in

1773." ST. SWITHIN.

THE ROLL OF THE BARONETS (US. ix. 347). In the late Joseph Foster's ' Baronetage r for 1883 (the only copy he ever published), he omitted sixty-five claimed baronetcies- from the body of the work, and consigned them into ' Chaos ' at the end thereof, giving his reasons for doing o in the following preface :

" Under this heading [' Chaos '], which is intended to express the state of doubt and con- fusion in which the matters hereafter referred to are involved, I have ventured to present, together with notes upon points which appear to require explanation or confirmation in some of the preceding pedigrees, all such information as I have been able to collect with respect to the families of persons claiming the dignity of Baronet, but regarding whose claims there doe* not appear to be accessible the prima facie evi- dence which would justify their inclusion among those whose title is unquestioned."

Here follow details of the above-mentioned. It is worthy of record that of these sixty- five baronetcies in * Chaos ' thirty-four now appear on the official ' Roll of Baronets,' published as supplement to The London Gazette for Friday, 20 Feb., 1914 ; whilst the remaining thirty-one claimants have either failed to satisfy the Committee appointed to investigate their claims, or have deceased during the thirty-one years that have elapsed since Foster's ' Baronetage ' was published. CROSS-CROSSLET.

It would come within the scope of interest if the cases questioned could be given in ' N. & Q.,' as they have not been noticed in any publication, and the legal position taken in each case.

There appears much confusion (outside Court etiquette) as to who is the senior Baronet, and the whole inquiry with regard to the titles has been done so privately that much scepticism exists. A. E. JONES.

WEBSTER AND THE ' N.E.D.' (11 S. ix. 302, 324, 343). "Fox lungs, some medicinal pre- paration," duly appears in the ' N.E.D/ under ' Fox, &.' The entry refers, not to the plant lungwort, but to the actual lungs of the fox, which were official in this country in Webster's time. The lungs, after being separated from the blood vessels, were washed in white wine in which scabious and hyssop had been infused, carefully dried, and, before use, powdered. In this form they entered into the Lohoch e Pulmone Vulpis of the London Pharmacopoeia, a pale reflection of which still survives in popular medicine under the name of syrup of foxes' lungs.

There are several lungworts in Lyte's and Gerard's herbals, but in neither nor, indeed 9
