NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2°d s. No 102., Dec. 12. '57. 



triforium frequently passes through projecting 

 piers and pillars. The syllables tri and tra in 

 such collocation are almost idem soiiantes. It is 

 also worthy of notice that by a certain school of 

 archseologists, our so-called Gothic Church Archi- 

 tecture was originally introduced by Lombardy 

 architects ; and, therefore, an Italian etymology 

 in this case may not be an unnatural hypothesis.

Marmaduke Bradley (2"'* S. iv. 308.) — On No- 

 vember 26, 1540, Bradley was still "Abbas Monas- 

 terii B. M. V. de Fontibus alias dicti Fowntayns." 

 — Rymer^ vi. p. iil. 45a. On Nov. 28, he received 

 his pension of 100^., the reward of complicity in 

 the suppression of his house. The Act of 1534 

 constituted Hull a Suffragan See. Dugdale calls 

 him Suffragan of Hull.

Great, Middle, and Small Miles (2"* S. iv. 411. 

 441.) — I have extracted various lengths of these 

 from Camden's Maps, in inches and decimals. 

 They all represent lengths of 10 miles, except the 

 first, which is a length of 50 miles : — 



It will be seen all these proportions differ ; bdt 

 I fancy, from an approximation, the great are 

 geographical miles, the middle statute miles, and 

 the small the Roman mille passuum. The maps 

 seem very little more than eye sketches. Per- 

 haps your correspondent Vrtan Bhegid could 

 throw some more light on the matter. A. A.
