which the student will do well to handle critically. The first three vols, of Lezana, Annates sacri prophetici et Eliani Ord. (4 vols.. Rome. 1645, 1650. 1653, and 1656). contain the life of the Prophet Elias, the history of the order during the Old Law. at the coming of Christ, and during the Middle Ages as far as 1140; the fourth vol., which might have permanent value as it embraces the period from 1140 till 1515, is in many respects unsatisfactory and superficial.

Monumenta his- torica Cnrmelitana (L.'-rins, 1907), so far only one vol., containing the oldest constitutions, acts of general chapters, biographical and critical notes on the first generals, lists of the Masters of Paris, and various collections of letters. No critical history, however compendious, has as yet been attempted, although there is no lack of material in public archives as well as in those of the various branches of the order.

Origins. — The bibliography of the controversy anout the antiquity of the order is extremely lengthy, but of no general interest; the principal works are: (1) in favour of the tradi- tional view: Daniel a Virgine Maria, op. cit.: Sebastianus a S. Paulo, Exhibilin crrorum (Cologne. 169U) ; (2) against the tradition: .4r(a SS., April, I, 764-99, May, II. Commcntar. npolnnel., 709-846: Papebroch, Responsio ad Exhib. error. (3 vols.. Antwerp, 1696); Idem, Elucidation Reusch, Der Index der nerbotenen Biicher (Bonn, 1885), II, 267 sqq.

Carneirc (Carnero), Melchior, missionary bishop; b. of a noble family at Coimbra, in Portugal; d. at Macao, 19 August, 1583. He entered the Society of Jesus 25 April, 1543, was appointed in 1551 the first rector of the College of Evora, and shortly after transferred to the rectorship of the College of Lisbon. When, in 1553, Simon Rodriguez, the first provincial of Portugal, was summoned to Rome by St. Ignatius to answer charges made against his administration, the visitor, Nadal, assigned him Carneiro as a com- panion. In the meantime King John of Portugal, the great friend and patron of the Society, had written both to Pope Julius III and to St. Ignatius, request- ing the appointment of a Jesuit as Patriarch of Ethiopia. The pope chose John Nugnez, giving him at the same time two coadjutors with the right of succession, Andrew Oviedo, titular Bishop of Hier- apolis, and Melchior Carneiro, of Niesea. They were consecrated in 1555, and were the first Jesuits to be raised to the episcopal dignity. The pope had given them an order of obedience to accept consecration, and St. Ignatius acquiesced, considering that the dignity carried with it hardship and suffering rather than honour. Unable to enter his missionary field of Ethiopia, Carneiro set out for the Indies and landed at Goa. He laboured there on the Malabar coast until 1567, when he was appointed first Bishop of Japan and China, which office he seems to have re- nounced soon after, for in 1569 Leonard de Saa suc- ceeded him. He retired to the house of the Society of Jesus at Macao, where he died. Carneiro has writ- ten some letters of considerable historical interest, one from Mozambique, one from Goa, and two from Macao. They are printed in various collections.

Carnoy, Jean-Baptiste, Belgian biologist, b. at Rumillies, province of Hainaut, near Tournai, 22 Jan., 1836; d. at Schuls, in Switzerland, 6 September, 1899. After the usual course in theology at the semi- nary of Tournai, he was ordained priest and then de- voted some years to the study of natural science, for which he had always shown great talent. His prog- ress was rapid and, after receiving the degree of Doctor of Science, lie was awarded a Government travelling fellowship- He went to Germany, where he worked with Ilanstein at Bonn ami also spent some time in Leipzig, Berlin, and Vienna. lie was then sent to Rome by hi: bishop on business pertaining t'> the Diocese of Tournai. While there he mode the

acquaintance of Buoncompagni and Castracane and

was associated with the hitler in his researches. In

1868 he was recalled to Belgium, his bishop, at the request of Monseigneur Laforet, having consented to

attach him to the University of Louvain to found a course in general biology. Financial difficulties at the university, however, made it impracticable to carry out this plan at the time, and he became, in- stead, vicar at ('files near Tournai. lhiring his stay here he completed his "Recherches anatomiquea et
