NOTES AND QUERIES. [io* s. v. JUNE 9,
(No. 213, pp. 317-48), entitled " A Relation of
a Short Survey of Twenty-Six Counties,
briefly describing the Cities arid their Scytua-
tions, and the Corporate Townes and Castles
therein : observ'd in a Seven Weekes'
Journey, begun at the City of Norwich, and
from thence into the North, on Monday,
August llth, 1634, and ending at the same
place. By a Captaine, a Lieutenant, and an
Ancient, all three of the Military Company
in Norwich." This interesting document
commences thus :
- ' Three Southerns Commanders, in their Places,
and of themselves and their Passes a Captaine, a^Lieutennt, and an Ancient [i.e., an ensign], all Voluntary members of the noble Military Com- pany in "Norwich agreed at an opportune and vacant leysure, to take a view of the Cities, Castles and chiefe Scytuations," &c.
A reproduction of the diary in question will be found in Brayley's 'Graphic and Historical Illustrator,' published (1834) by J. Chidley, 151, Goswell Street, London.

I should like to add to my reply at the last reference that in the account books of the Colyton "Chamber of Feoffees"* a sort of parochial corporation who bought part of the manor from Henry VIIL, and had a " Bayly " of their own there is this item : " 1591, To Stephen Burd for a post horse and his stabell, ijs."
ETHEL LEGA- WEEKES.
EARL'S ELDEST SON AND SUPPORTERS (10 th S. v. 408). I fancy that an earl's eldest son is not entitled to use separately or display on his own account the supporters of his father's arms, any more than his father's coronet. B. M.
- CENTURY OF PERSIAN GHAZELS,' 1851
(10 th S. v. 108). The author, or rather editor, of this book appears to have been Nathaniel Bland. It is not mentioned by Mr. Beveridge in the 'D.N.B.,' but it is attributed to Bland by the British Museum Catalogue, and by Ethe in the article ' Neupersische Litteratur,' in the * Grundriss der Iranischen Philologie,' Bd. ii. pp. 284, 297, 301, 302, 304, 310, 314. It contains, according to Ethe, ten ghazels by each of the following nine poets San ai, Katibi, Qasim- i-Anvar, Ahli, ShirazI, Amir Hasan Sanjarl of Delhi, Salman, Savajl, Kama! Khujandl, FighanI, and Hatif ; but Ethe does not appear to mention the author of the ten

ghazels on pp. 30-33. Would MR. PLATT
mind saying ? F. E. NUTTALL.

DONCASTER WEATHER-RIME (10 th S. v. 407). Is not MR. PEACOCK mistaken in writing "car" for "carr"? See the 'E.D.D.,' s.v. It is over thirty years since I left Doncaster, but I remember "The Carr," " Carr House," "Carr Lane" all south of the Town Moor. A wild duck can swirn in a swampy meadow, which the "Carr" is, but not in a " car."

DOGS AT CONSTANTINOPLE (10 th S. v. 170). Since my query was inserted I have found a reference to the dogs in a letter by Henry Maundrell to Mr. Osborn, Fellow of Exeter College, under date 10 March, 1698 :
"I have seen them [the Turks], in an affected charity, give money to birdcatchers (who make a trade of it) to restore the poor captives to their natural liberty, and at the same time hold their own slaves in the heaviest bondage ; and at other times they will buy flesh to relieve indigent dogs and cats, and yet curse you with famine and pestilence."
I am seeking similar references to the dogs in mediaeval literature.
W. A. HENDERSON. Dublin.
DUKE OF GUELDERLAND: DUKE OF LOR- RAINE (10 th S. v. 249, 313). The fullest account of the house of Lorraine, and of Charles Leopold V., Duke of Lorraine and Barr, is to be found in the now out-of-date, but still most interesting work Bohun's
- Historical Dictionary,' as continued and
enlarged by the Rev. J. Barrow, and pub- lished at London in folio, 1694. It devotes six double columns to the career of Duke Charles V., who had then lately died. Deprived of his inheritance by the King of France in 1674, Charles achieved great dis- tinction as generalissimo of the Imperial army. He was the son of Duke Francis, brother to Duke Charles IV., and married Eleanora Maria, sister of the Emperor and widow of Michael, King of Poland, by whom he left four children, Leopold the eldest, succeeding him in his title. He died near Vienna, 18 April, 1690.

RALPH, LORD HOPTON (10 th S. v. 409). Since Prof. C. H. Firth wrote his account of the above in 'D.N.B.' (vol. xxvii. p. 347), Mr. C. E. H. Chadwyck Healey, K.C., F.S.A., has edited for the Somerset Record Society (vol. xviii.) 'Bellum Civile.' This volume
