 12 s. vii. AUG. 14, 1920.] NOTES AND QUERIES. 133 or not, I am sure that in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries must be sought the first examples of the innovation. I have just- looked through the numerous illustrations in * II Crocifisso nell'Arte ' by Dr. Constan- tini, and the earliest example I can find among them in which the wound is on the left side is a Crucifixion at Dresden by Albrecht Diirer. RORY FLETCHER. F~1 ANGLO -OESAREUS (12 S. vii. 89). Anglo- Caesareus is modern Latin for " a Jerseyman." Csesarea, mentioned in The Maritime Itiner- ary as one of the islands off the north-west coast of France, has been identified with Jersey ; and "Anglo " distinguishes Andrew Durell from the natives of other places of the same name. Durell is a good old Jersey name. The most distinguished bearers of it were John ( 1 625-1 683) Dean of Windsor and Prebendary of Durham, author of the French translation of the Book of Common Prayer used in the Channel Islands: and David (1728-1775), Principal of Hertford College, Oxford, and Vice-Chancellor of the University JOHN R. MAGRATH. Andrew Durell is thus described as coming from the island of Jersey (Csesarea). In the ' Album Studiosorum ' of the University of Leyden Johannes van Brugh Tennent is entered (June 21, 1764) as "ex Prov. Nov. Csesariensi [New Jersey], Americanus," while Carolus de Beauvais appears (Nov. 27, 1615) as " Anglo-Garnesiensis," an adjec- tive which presumably means that he came from Guernsey (Garnsay), though Sarnia is the more correct Latin^name of that island. EDWARD BENSLY. Much Hadham, Herts. " STAGNTJM "AND " OFFOLDFALL" (12 S. vii., 48). " Stagnes " arep ools of standing water. A pool consists of water and land, and is therefore known by the name of Stag- num. I venture the suggestion that "Offoldfall" should be "of foldfall," a variation of the word " faldage " a privi- lege which several Lords anciently reserved to themselves of setting up folds for sheep in any fields within their manors, for the better manuring of the same ; and this was done not only with their own, but with their tenants' sheep, which they called Secta- faldse. This faldage is termed in some places a " fold course " or " faldagium." W. G. WILLIS WATSON. HURBECS (12 S. vi. 271, 341 ; vii. 17, 58). I have received from M. Grin-Voruz, an authority on vineyard pests especially, and recognized as a learned entomologist, further light upon this word. The names given to* this parasite exceed fifty, varying according: to districts urbec, hurbec, hurbeck, hurebec, &c-, the word is connected with the Latin. urere urbec, being in fact " bec-brulant." The ravages of this coleopteron have been chronicled for centuries, and in 1516 the- ecclesiastical authorities at Troyes solemnly banned it, as destructive of the vines in the- neighbourhood. M. Grin adds that in the East the vines are subject to the attacks of a- small grasshopper or " criquet " but the translators of the Psalms seem to have- adopted a word in common use to convey the idea of the " vine -destroyer." This- however, does not explain your correspon- dent's point, how a local name should have- been adopted by the Swiss translators of the- Bible. L. G. R. CAROLINE ROBERT HERBERT (12 S. vi. 250,. 282, 338). Here are a few more names, also- of army men. The Half -Pay List, 1730,. has Ensign Edward Louisa Man on half-pay of Harrison's 15th Foot. Amy Peter Piaget,, who was made Ensign in Richbell's newly- raised Regt. of Foot, May 27, 1742, was perhaps of French descent, and son of Ensign Peter Piaget (12 S. vi. 329). The- Army List, 1761, has Ann Gordon, Ensign 46th Foot from Feb. 2, 1757, and William Ann Skinner, Lieut. 35th Foot, July 27,. 1759, while in 1778 it mentions James Susanna Patton, Capt. 6th Foot, June 18,. 1776, and William Anne Villettes, Cornet 10th Dragoons, Dec. 19, 1775. Lord Anne- Hamilton, third son of James, 4th Duke of Hamilton, was so called after Queen Anne. However inconvenient to their owners these- freak names must have been, especially in their school-days, to genealogists they serve- a useful purpose as affording a possible clue- to their identity which once; ascertained cannot easily be forgotten or mistaken. W. R. WILLIAMS. ARMS OF JOAN OF ARC (12 S. vii. 70). Mrs. Bury Palliser is instructive on this subject. She says : " The arms which Jeanne d'Orleans, her brothers and their descendants took* were composed by Charles VII. himself and are azure, a sworcl argent in pale, crossed and pommelled or sup- name of Du Lis.
 * By command of the king they assumed the
