ruined chapel, and hence the evident
anxiety of one family to intrude, and of the
other to prevent intrusion. This is the
inscription :
" I H.S. | This Stone and Burial Place | Be- longeth to the Warrens of | Cillock and his Posterity | This three hundred years and | White hath no right to this | Burial Place only by Marriage | and Barth w Warren has caused I This stone to be erected for | the use of him & his family."
This is all that appears above ground, bu* D'Alton ('History of the Co. Dublin') mentions a " monument to the Warren family from 1722/' E. K.
A WOMAN TRAIN DISPATCHER. I copy this from the columns of The Jewish Ex- ponent, Philadelphia :
" Mrs. Jennie Connor of Melrose Highlands, a suburb of Boston, Mass., has the distinction of being the only woman to handle and dispatch trains in this country. She is employed by the Boston and Maine Railway, and is well known to thousands of railroad employees throughout the four States in which the road operates. It is believed by the 400 or more engineers who report to her that she knows more about the construction of the big engines than do most of the men who assisted in building them. Mrs. Connor has charge of all the engines used on the northern division of the road, and it was this that led her to take up the study of the ' steam moguls.' "

" NlL EST IN INTELLECT!! QUOD NON
FTTERIT IN SENSU." (See 'Latin Quotations?,' No. 45, 10 S. i. 188, and MR. J. B. WAINE- WRIGHT'S communication on p. 297 of the same vol.) Xevizanus, ' Sylva Nuptialis,' lib. v. 77, has " quia secundum Philosop. iii. de Anima, Nihil est in intellectu, quin prius fuerit in sensu." I have an impression that I saw these words a few years ago in the Latin translation of Averroes's Com- mentary on Aristotle's ' De Anima.' Unfor- tunately I omitted to make a note.

REGENT'S PARK : CENTENARY. The fol- lowing, quoted from The Observer of 22 Dec., 1811, will be read with interest :
" The Regent's Park in Mary-le-bone Fields is rapidly preparing. The Circus is completely formed, and enclosed by an oak paling. The workmen are at present employed in planting laurels, firs, and other evergreens. The ride round the circus is nearly made ; the latter is intersected by other roads, the principal of which leads to the New Road, opposite Portland Place."

PAUL VERONESE : PICTURE AND INSCRIP-
TION. There is in the Townshend Collection,
now on view at the Corporation Art Gallery,
Cheltenham, a small picture attributed to
Paul Veronese. The subject is a Guardian
Angel, and on the hem of her garment are
the words " Angelos Custos." The back-
ground, and even wings of the angel, are
of a deep golden tint, and this makes me
think it may not be by Veronese ; but I can
only just remember the large decorative
works of that artist at Venice, and did
not trouble to seek out his smaller easel
pictures. I think that some one who has
spent more time than myself at Venice
may perhaps be able to tell me ^whether
any of Veronese's pictures of small dimen-
sions have Latin inscriptions, and, if so,
whether these are written in a very minute
and very careful hand. The letters in the
Townshend Veronese are not more than
the sixteenth of an inch high. The writing
is unique, and the characters so well
formed that the chances are that no other
artist's work would have the same lettering.
The small uncial S is sometimes turned the
other way, and then reads R.
This Latin inscription is a quotation from some life of P. Balharasasi (name vague), written by Ludovico da Ponente. Can any one inform me who these persons were and supply any other detail 1
SYDNEY HERBERT. Carlton Lodge, Cheltenham. ' THE SONG OF A BUCK.' In Sir Daniel Fleming's ' Great Account Book ' is the entry : " Given by Will, Aug. 31 [1686], at Syzergh, when he took y e Song of a Buck, 2s. M" Can any reader of ' N. & Q. refer me to a place where I can find this pong 1 Though I have examined Chappell's ' Popular Music of the Olden Time,' Percy s ' Reliques.' his Folio Manuscript,' and Andrew Clark's ' Shirburn Ballads,' I not only cannot find it, but have found no song in which the buck is mentioned under that name as an object of pursuit. I have found the hart, the deer, the stag, the hare, and, in the later hunting songs, the fox.
