NOTES AND QUERIES.

" the preachers of the "Word of God," he proceeds 

 in the second Constitution to ordain — 



" Ne quis sacerdos aut clericus, togam seu superiorem 

 vestem gerat nisi clausam a parte anteriori, et non per 

 totiim apertam, neque in fimbria, aut circumlerentia 

 ejusdem borduram habeat de pellibus aut furraturis; et 

 ne quis in aliqua universitate non graduatus, nee in 

 aliqua dignitate ecclesiastica constitutus presbyteris, 

 caputium jienulatum, aut alias duplex, vel de se simplex 

 cum corneto vel liripipio brevi, more prtelatorium et 

 graduatorum, nee utatur liripipiis aut typpets a serico 

 vel panno circa coUum in publico." — Wilkins's Cone, 

 vol. iii. p. 536. 



Can any of your correspondents explain the 

 meaninn; of the epithets given here to the hood, 

 "penulatum," " de se simplex cum corneto" ? 



Other canons, regulating the habits of the clergy, 

 occur In the Constitutions of William le Zouch, 

 Archbishop of York, In 1347: of John de Strat- 

 ford, Archbishopof Canterbury, In 1342 (Wilkins, 

 vol. ii.). The Lateran Council, in 1216, took the 

 initiative in prescribing clerical habits in these 

 terms : 



" Clerlci . . . clausa deferant insuper indumenta 

 nimia brevitate vel longitudine non notanda. Pannis 

 rubris aut viridibus, necnon manicis, aut sotularibus 

 consutritiis, seu rostralis, frajnis, sellis, pectoralibus, et 

 calcaribus deauratis, aut aliam superfluitatem gereuti- 

 bus non utentur."

Furye Family (Vol. vi., p. 175.). — More than 

 fifty years ago a Colonel Furye and his wife lived 

 in the vicinity of Kingston upon Thames, where 

 the Colonel died, leaving his widow, who resided 

 at Richmond for many years after, and who was 

 buried in Kingston Church in the year 1822, and 

 In which church there is a monumental tablet to 

 the following effect : 



" Near this spot 



are interred the remains of 



Anne Furye, 



late of Upper Grosvenor Street, 



London, 



(Widow of Peregrine Furye, Esq.) 



She died at Tonbridge Wells, 



Oct. 26, 1822, aged 84 years." 



And I am Inclined to think she was a lady origin- 

 ally belonging to the neighbourhood of Kingston 

 upon Thames. "W. E..

Seventeen Year Locusts (Vol. Iv., p. 423.). — 

 In answer to this Query I would say that, In ful- 

 filment of the predictions, on the 3rd of May In 

 last year, 1851, the locusts were first observed In 

 this city emerging from the earth. They were 

 completely formed, and enveloped In shells, which 

 fit them closely. They crawled immediately up 



the trunks of trees, or fences, or walls, and In a 

 short time managed to disengage themselves from 

 their sheaths. At first they are weak, and their 

 wings are soft and pulpy; a few hours harden 

 them, and they then betake themselves to the 

 trees. They remain above ground about six 

 weeks, and then their bodies are found by thou- 

 sands under the trees. In the meantime they have 

 performed the work of reproduction ; the females 

 are armed with sharp ovipositors, with which they 

 pierce the young twigs and green branches, and 

 there deposit their eggs. The eggs ripen In a 

 short time, and the young larva?, in size almost in- 

 finitesimal, fall upon the earth In myriads, and 

 commence their journey "into the bowels of the 

 land." How far they go, or how they exist during 

 the seventeen years of their entombment, is a 

 mystery which naturalists cannot answer. To- 

 wards the end of the seventeen years farmers meet 

 with them when digging deep ditches, or making 

 excavations several feet below the surface. They 

 came up where they took to the earth, and In this 

 city last year many of them emerged In the cellars 

 of houses which have been built since their former 

 visit upon ground, where there had been trees. 

 They do not prey upon the herbage whilst above 

 ground, and it is believed that they do not eat any- 

 thing. In appearance they differ materially from 

 the common locust, and their notes are not so 

 shrill or prolonged. There are so many thousands 

 of them, however, that the sound of their songs 

 unite In one great, and at times almost deafening 

 chorus. 



I well remember their appearance In 1834, and 

 the boyish curiosity with which I looked for the 

 coming of the Insects, concerning which I had 

 heard many predictions. I never saw any of the 

 species again until 1851, and have no doubt that 

 the citizens of Philadelphia who are living in 1868 

 will notice the re-appearance of these mysteries of 

 entomology about the 3rd or 4th day of May.

[Our correspondent, who commences his reply by 

 stating he cannot find a reference to the original Query 

 in the Index, will see that the reason is because the 

 Querist speaks of the insect as a Cicada, and not a 



Locust. — Ed.] 



On the World lasting 6000 Years (Vol. vi., pp. 37. 

 131.). — Looking over Foxe's Acts and Monuments 

 the other day, I marked a passage bearing upon 

 this subject, which I beg to offer to your corre- 

 spondent A. A. D. The copy of the work I pos- 

 sess is the folio black-letter one of 1632, In which 

 there is much matter not to be found in later 

 editions. As the extract is not lengthy, and may 

 interest other readers, I give it at full. Fi'om —
