issued, in print or MS., together with refer- ences to the books wherein copies of such registers have appeared. The list of those in print was " extracted by permission from 'Parish Registers,' privately printed by George W. Marshall, Esq., LL.D., 1891." I need hardly say these lists all relate to past times. Should MR. CLARK desire further details, I should be happy to let him have a complete abstract, with all references.

VIRGIL'S EPITAPH (8 th S. xi. 188, 329). The following occurs in the * Variorum in Europa Itinerum Delicise' of Nathan Chytrseus, editio secunda, 1599, p. 70 :

"Virgilii. sepulchrum non procul inde, supra aditum, sive introitum Cryptse Puteolanse, per montem Pausilypum itineris gratia actse, olim con- spiciebatur : nunc hi versiculi recens candido mar- mori insculpti ibidem leguntur.

Qui cineres ? tumuli hsec vestigia ; conditur olim Ille hoc, qui cecinit pascua, rura, duces."

Burmann in his * Anthologia,' Epig. ii. 199 gives these lines, reading,

Qiue cineris.tumulo hoc vestigia? conditur, olim, &c He gives, however, the former reading in a note. In "A Picturesque Tour- of Italy, frorr Drawings made in 1816-17 by James Hake- will, Arch 1 " (London, John Murray, 1820) s.v. ' Tomb of Virgil,' the lines with the

reading of Chytrseus appear, having the addi- tion " Anno 1554." I have not found any epitaph of Virgil under 'Puteolis' in 4 Iri- scriptiones Sacrosanctee Vetustatis ' of Petrus A.pianus and Barptholomeus Amaiitius, In-
 * olstadii, 1534. ROBERT PIERPOINT.

JOHN THURBANE (9 th S. v. 109). He was M.P. for Sandwich 1679-1700. He was ad- nitted to Gray's Inn 30 June, 1651, as "son and heir of James Thurbane [or Thurbarne], of Sandwich, Kent," and to Wadham College, Oxford, 12 November, 1651 ; B.A. 29 March, 1655. Called to the bar in 1660, and created serjeant-at-law 1689. His father was M.P. 'or Sandwich 1656-76 : and his grandfather, lames Thurbarne, of New Romney, was ad- mitted a student of Gray's Inn 10 February, 1584/5, and sat as M.P. for New Romney 1597-98. A Robert Thurbarne, brother of
 * he last, was M.P. for New Romney in

1586-87. W. D. PINK.

John Thurbane (the name is given as Thur- 3arne in W. Boys's 'History of Sandwich') was descended from a good family. His an- cestors, from 1331, had been very eminent in the Cinque Ports, especially in Hastings, Romney, and Romney Marsh. A Mr. Thur- bane, a barrister, was appointed one of the town's counsel 1625 ; he was probably James (a J.P. for Kent in the reign of James), grand- father of John. His son, also James, was Town Clerk of Sandwich 1643 to 1662, and 1667 to his death. He was one of the barons (or burgesses) in Parliament 1656, 1659, 1660. and 1661, served the office of mayor 1660, and was a supporter of the canopy at the coronation of Charles II. His first wife was named Ellen ; they had three children : John, born 5 May, 1636 ; James, born (and died) July, 1640 ; and Mary, born January, 1643. Ellen died 4 March, 1657. James married (secondly), 13 November, 1658, Mrs. Bennet Forster,' widow, who died 20 September, 1680. James died 23 May, 1688. His son, John Thurbane, was bred to the bar, became an eminent counsel, and was made a serjeant- at-law 1689. He represented Sandwich in the two Parliaments of 1679 ; again in 1681, 1689, 1690 ; and, 11 April, 1698, was chosen member in the room of Edward Brent, Esq. ; and again, the same year, at the " general." He was three times married. By his first wife, Mary (second daughter, and ultimately sole heiress, of Sir Robert Croke, Knt.), ho had no issue. By his second, Anne Cutts, sister and lioir of John, Lord Cutts, Baron of Gowran, he had an only daughter, Joanna, and at his death (25 January, 1713) bequeathed to her the lordship of Chequers with other estates.
