TENNYSON AND GBINDROD. Shortly after the production of ' Becket,' Dr. Grindrod wrote a long letter to one of the papers (I believe The Standard), setting out many passages in juxtaposition with similar pas- sages from his own play of ' Henry II.' I cut out the letter, but cannot now find it. Can any one refer me to the paper where this letter was published ?

BALLENY ISLAND. Can any reader say who was the person after whom Balleny Island in the Antarctic was named, and give any biographical details of him ?

Music TO SONG OF CHRISTINA ROSSETTI. Among the poems of Christina Rossetti there is one of rare beauty named simply a ' Song,' commencing with the line :

When I am dead, my dearest. Some time ago the undersigned was in- formed, though he fears on but slender authority, that this poem had been set to music. He would therefore be grateful to any reader who could verify this statement, and also, if it be true, tell him the names of composer and publisher.

A. STANTON WHITFIELD. High Street, Walsall.

CLINTON MATTND OF MERTON COLLEGE. In the sixth edition (1724) of Guillim's ' Heraldry ' is given a drawing of the arms borne by

"Clinton Maund, M.A., and Fellow of Merton College, born in the county of Fermanagh in Ireland, the Son of a Lady, but descended of a gentile Family of his Name at Chesterton in the

County of Oxon. He died in his chambers at Merton College, the 4th of December, 1660, and was buried in Merton College Choir." Reference is given to " MS. of Ant. a Wood's Remarks de Com. Oxon. p. 99."

Any information regarding Clinton Maund will be welcomed. Is there any monumental inscription at Merton College ?

ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY BURIED AT HAUTERIVE, SWITZERLAND. The following is an extract from the Necrologium of the Abbey of Hauterive, canton Fribourg. The late Max de Diesbach, in an article in the Archives Heraldiques Suisses for 1893, con- sidered some columns, supposed to be re- mains of the monument in question, to date from the thirteenth century :

" Archiepiscopus Canthuariensis, in claustrp prope capitulum. Visebatur antiqitus ejus epi- taphium lapidi incisum, sed fernie deletum, una cum cruce archiepiscopali supersculpta. Nomen ignoratur. In persecutione anglicana exul, hie obiit."
