sources) of his Grace's descendants. This
pedigree records that the Archbishop had
second son, the Rev. Richard Bulkeley
D.D. of Bawne, who married, and, his wife
evidently predeceasing him, left at his death
" about the beginning of the troubles of
1641," three orphans under the care of his
brother, the Rev. William Bulkeley, the
Archdeacon.
Whilst the above proves the accuracy of Burke's statement (' Extinct Peerage,' 1840 ed., p. 94) that the Archbishop had two sons, it destroys the authenticity of that writer's record that Richard was the elder son, and that it was he who was created a baronet, this honour having been conferred on 9 Dec., 1672, upon his nephew Richard, eldest son of the Rev. William Bulkeley, D.D., Archdeacon of Dublin.
In support of the statement that the Rev. Richard Bulkeley had issue, I may add that in a copy I possess of the will of Alice Bulkeley, his Grace's widow, transcribed from the original in the Record Office, Dablin (which document is dated 6 Jan., 1652/3), a legacy is bequeathed "to my granddaughter Mrs. Grisseld Lloyd als. Bulkeley," who was the youngest of her son Richard's three orphans, and Mr. J. N. Dowling's direct ancestress. But in addition to the MS. pedigree fcl am in a position to bring forward further evidence for the in- formation of those who, in their works, have denied the Archbishop the parentage of a second son.
In Archdall's ' Lodge's Peerage of Ireland,' 1789 edition, vol. v. pp. 14-29, it is recorded, after a long and very interesting account of the Archbishop's life, that
" h? fthe Archbishop] deceased at his Palace of Tallaght, 8 Sept., 1650, in the 82nd year of his age, and was buried in St. Patrick's Cathedral ; and having married Alice, daughter of Rowland Bulkeley of Beaumaris, Esq., had issue by her, who was buried with him in February, 1654 [her wi 1 was admitted to probate on 7 February of that yea.rl, two sons and two daughters, viz. : the Rev.

Ambrose Aungier. William, the eldest son, D.D., and Archdeacon of Dublin, lived at Miltown, which was burned in 1641 to prevent the English from planting any garrison in those parts ; and it appears from the depositions con- cerning the murders and losses of the Protestants that he also lost in rents 530Z. a year, in stock 450/., in buildings at Old Bawne, which was wasted and destroyed, 3,000f.,in rents, tithes, &c., at Dimlavan and elsewhere 6,315Z. : that his father, the Archbishop, lost in cattle, houses

Again, in the ' History of the County of
Dublin,' by F. E. Ball, 1905 edition, part iii.
pp. 32-33, we find the following :
" Old Bawn House was not long built when the rebellion of 1641 bioke out. The depositions of Archdeacon Bulkeley's servants and tenants give a deplorable picture of the damage. At Tallaght cows and horses belonging to the orphan children of a brother of Archdeacon Bulkeley, and cattle and sheep belonging to the Archdeacon himself, were either stolen or sold at a sacrifice."
Possibly these excerpts will suffice to prove that the statements of the Welsh genealogists, as quoted by your correspon-
dent, are not
facts.

RICHARD MARTYN (11 S. xii. 140).
Richard Martin who died in 1502 is men-
tioned in the ' D.N.B.' At the end of the
notice of Richard Martyn, or Martin
(d. 1483), Bishop of St. David's, Mr. A. F.
Pollard writes that
the identity of name has caused Martyn's confusion with another Richard Martin, who was Rector of Ickham, Vicar of Lydd. .. .guardian of the Greyfriars at Canterbury, suffragan of the archbishop, and fellow of Eton College. . . .Having no see, he styled himself, as was usual in such cases, simply ' Episcopus ecclesiae Catholicae.' " In Cooper's 'Athense Cantabrigienses,' vol. i. o. 521, where a large number of references are given, these two Richards were treated as one. But in vol. iii. p. 103, the ' D.N.B.' is quoted with regard to the confusion of dentity.
There seems to have been a third Richard Martyn (d. 1480), Vicar of Hendon, and probably) Archdeacon of Berkshire, See D.N.B.,' loc. cit. EDWARD BENSLY.
In Wharton's List of Suffragans of Canter- bury, printed in vol. v. of Nichols's * Biblio- theca Topographica ' (4to, 1790), Martin is said to be " sine certo titulo suffrag." Pro- bably more can be found in Bishop Stubbs's ' Registrum Anglicanum,' but I have not got it at hand for reference. W. D. MACRAY.
WEIGHT AFTER A MEAL, AND DURING HYPNOSIS (11 S. xii. 119). I give the results of my own experience, or experiments rather. On Saturday last, and again on this day of writing, a friend and I had our- selves weighed about a quarter of an hour before, and the same length of time after, lunch. In both cases he had added two pounds to his weight, while I, who had had a less active morning and made a lighter meal, gained less than one pound on Saturday, and one pound four ounces to- day.
