NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2-»d s. X. Dec. 15. '60. 



Principles (ed. 9. p. 220.), where, besides a full 

 account of the subject, he will actually find an 

 illustration, showing the appearance of the bed of 

 the St. Lawrence bestrewn with boulders. 



Farther, see Capt. Bayfield's papers on the lo- 

 cality (^Proceedings of the Geol. Soc. of London, 

 1836, vol. ii.), and Sir Charles Lyell's Travels in 

 N. America (Murray), for pretty well all that is 

 known of the boulder drift in Canada. To be 

 more explicit, I may mention that all boulder 

 drift contains occasional detritus of the rocks 

 against, or over which, it has travelled. F. G. S.

 Jamaica and Barbadoes C2"* S. x. 405.) — 

 Among other names, to which your correspon- 

 dent's Query refers, is that of Palseologus. The 

 jiedigree and present existence of this branch of 

 the imperial house of the Eastern Caesars has been 

 discussed in your pages at considerable length. 

 See " N. & Q," 1" S. v. 173. 280. 357. ; viil. 408, 

 526.; ix. 312. 572.; x. 134. 351. 409. 494.; xi. 

 31. ; xii. 480. Spal. will also find considerable 

 information relative to this race in the Archceolo- 

 gia, vol. xviii. pp. 85 — 104. ; Chamhers^s Journal, 

 vol. xvii. p. 24. ; Burn's History of Foreign Refu- 

 gees, p. 230. ; Schomburgk's History of Barbadoes ; 

 Oldmixon's West Indies ; Gentleman s Magazine, 

 January, 1843; Lysons' Cornwall, p. 172. 



K. P. D. E. 



In the arms given by Spal. some of the tinc- 

 tures are either wrongly painted or described. 

 Perhaps the following suggestions may be of use 

 to him : — 



The first quarter may be Hatton : Az. a chev. 

 between 3 garbs, or. 



The second is for Stevens : Per chev. az. and 

 arg. in chief two hawks rising (or). 



The third, arg. on a cross or, would be false 

 heraldry ; perhaps one of the following coats is 

 intended : — 



Arg. on a'cross gu. 5 escallops or, for (Villiers.) 



Arg. on a cross gu. 5 escallops of the field 

 (Shrimpton). 



Arg. on a cross sa. 5 escallops or (Stoneham).

Sir Thomas Lawrence, Bart. (2°"^ S. x. 428.) 

 — A good deal of mystery is attached to the above. 

 It has been doubted even whether the baronet 

 buried at Chelsea in 1774 was identical with the 

 Secretary of Maryland, Of the American Law- 

 rences an elaborate, but not very correct, pedi- 

 gree is given in Holgate's American Genealogies. 



The family meant by Magdalenensis is that of 

 Lawrence, Baronet of Iver (not St. Ives). If I 

 am not mistaken, the arms assigned to the Law- 

 rences of Chelsea are different from those of the 

 Iver family, of which the Secretary of Maryland 

 was the head. 



In the Gentleman's Magazine for July, 1815, p. 

 12.; Aug, 1829, p. 105., and Oct. 1829, p. 312., 

 will be found some notices of the Lawrences of St. 

 Ives and Lawrences of Chelsea, written by Jamea 

 Lawrence (Knight of Malta), and of a Jamaica 

 branch of the former. His arms are given in 

 Burke's General Armorie. 



In the will of a Mrs, C. Franklyn, 1831-2, at 

 Doctors' Commons, are many allusions to her con- 

 nexion with the family of the well-known William 

 Penn. She died at a very advanced age, and was 

 the sole surviving child of a certain Lawrence 

 Lawrence, who died about the middle of the last 

 century, and who had in early life lived, in Mary- 

 land an'd Pennsylvania, but died in Jamaica. 



There was a later connexion between the fami- 

 lies of Lawrence of St. Ives and Iver, and that 

 Lavirence Lawrence was the representative of the 

 latter family I have heard from members of the 

 former now alive. I am not aware what (if any) 

 arms Mrs. Franklyn used on her carriage. 



I think that it is quite possible that the " frag- 

 ments " of the family in question might be traced. 

 I only venture to suggest a clue of which I have 

 myself no doubt. Spal. 



Lewis and Kotska (2"^ S. ix, 355, 432.)— The 

 following lines, from a not very common book, 

 may be interesting as relating to the pictures of 

 Kotska and Gonzaga : — 



" De B. Aloisio Gonzaga, Societatis Jesu, ad Pictorem, 

 "_ Caeli Quirites parvulos, et OlympiiB 

 Aulas caniillos, pluraeos germanulos, 

 Quoties laboras, albe pictor, pingere ; 

 Violas rosasque, scio, ligustra et lilia, 

 Gygenque, Athynique, Hylamque, Nisum, et^Nirea, 

 Haec cuncta misces ; mille formas colligis 

 Ut una constet : hasne vis curas tibi 

 Minuamque lites? aspice Aloisium : 

 Vis pingere angelos? fac Aloisios."

Henshaw (2°* S. X. 331. 396.)— There can be 

 no doubt, I think, that the whole bearings of this 

 family (of which Earnshaw seems a variation) 

 were originally adopted in allusion to the old game 

 of hawking — once so favourite a diversion with 

 our ancestors : heronshaw being the old name for 

 the heron (Ardea major), and hence arose the old 

 proverb — "He does not know a hawk from a 

 her'nshaw," — vulgo, handsaw, and now applied to 

 mean " ignorance in any science."

Heir or Lady Catherine Grey (2""* S. x. 419.) 

 — I take it for granted that the eldest male in 

 lineal succession from a given ancestor, the founder 

 of a family, is the representative of that family ; 

 and that, on default of such male issue, we must 

 take the eldest female and her lineal descendants 

 in similar succession. In the case of the Lady
