bungalow" of India. These bungalows are travellers' rests, without food or attendance, the wayfarer carrying his own bedding, firing, and provender with him. The huge domains of Russia are thus furnished. The Romans are known to have provided such accommoda- tion, but, as I fancy, generally termed post- ing houses. A. HALL. 13, Paternoster Row, E.C,

In giving at the earlier reference a summary of previous guesses at the meaning of this place-name I was actuated by the wish to save the more inconstant readers of ' N. & Q.' from unintentionally going over ground already trodden. I did not anticipate a fresh guess such as appears at the later reference. If the derivation from caldarium were correct, it would be a remarkable instance if not, as the writer says, of the manner in which names, by the mere force of sound, are changed in meaning of the extension of the name of a particular chamber in a particular institution in a supposed Roman settlement to the whole of that settlement. The writer seems to be in earnest. Is he really so *? There is little force of sound in arium acting in the required direction. KILLIGKEW.

CARRICK (8 th S. xii. 147, 233, 314). With reference to the recent inquiry respecting the Carrick family, perhaps the following may be of interest. There are two distinct families of this name, one of Norman origin, and chiefly found in the north of England (Yorkshire, Cumberland, and Westmoreland). Their arms are, I think, Sable, three roses argent. The other is a south of Ireland family, and their arms are Or, a fess dancettee between three talbots passant sable. A branch of this family settled in Bristol, and went thence to London. There is a pedigree of the London branch of the family in the Visita- tion of the City in 1634. Perhaps some one learned in Irish heraldry and genealog could give some details as to the Iris__ branch of the family. There probably would be some information at Ulster's office.

PHILIP II. OF SPAIN (9 th S. i. 9). I have in my possession a curious little volume, en titled 'Vida Interior del Rey Don Felipe II. (Madrid, 1788). On p. 7 we are told that Philip was born at Valladolid on 26 May, 1525, and died about 5 o'clock on the evening of Sunday, 13 Sept., 1596. These dates according to all authorities, should be 1527 and 1598 respectively. Can any explanation be given for the above mistake? Whe Philip was seventeen years of age he was

married to Dona Maria, daughter of Don Juan III., King of Portugal. That event took place in 1544. Unfortunately the month is lot given. But as their son, the unfortunate Don Carlos, was born 8 July, 1545, and his mother died in giving him birth (p. 70), it lollows, I think, that Major Martin Hume's statement that the union only lasted eleven months must be substantially correct.

J. T. CURRY.

According to Prescott, in his 'Hist, of Philip II.,' vol. i. ch. ii. p. 35 (Routledge's edition), the date of the marriage with the Infanta of Portugal was 12 Nov., 1543, and the date of this lady's death was a few days after 8 July, 1545. In Watson's ' History ' of the same reign it is said that Philip espoused the Infanta Mary at the age of sixteen (born 1527), and that she died in less than two years after her marriage.

A " GEORGE " (8 th S. xii. 407). The ' Encyclo- paedic Dictionary,' as one meaning of George, gives "a kind of loaf, said to have been stamped with a figure of St. George," and supplies the following quotation :

Cubbed in a cabin, on a mattrass laid, On a brown george with lousy swabbers fed. Dryden, ' Persius,' Sat. v.

D. M. R.

Ash, in his 'Dictionary,' 1775, Dr. Johnson, 1814, and James Knowles, 1835, each give the meaning " a brown loaf," and quote Dryden as their authority.

It is probable that " Georges " are no longer known, at least under that name ; but in my childhood, sixty years back and more, there was at Bath a well-known itinerant seller of " brown Georges." C. B. MOUNT.

SCULPTURE (8 th S. xii. 428). Your corre- spondent asks, Who are the English artists who have made a speciality of memorial figure sculpture for a tomb ; and in what publication can illustrations of such work be found 1 Broadly speaking, one might say all of England's celebrated sculptors have done high artistic monumental work. To give an account of their monumental works, com- mencing with the early Gothic sculptors,
