from the plan of 1589, and to show the position of the Lord in 

 Grovely. It mentions also the keeper's hens. 



Grovely -.] " And it is to be known that the Lord hath within the Forrest 

 aforesaid all the liberties aad priviledges belonging to a forrest, and may 

 keep Swaineraotes and Woodcourts to enquire of Vert and Venison and all 

 other Trespasses committed in the Forrest aforesaid by the Verdict of good 

 and lawful men and inhabiting within the parishes and hamlets following 

 (that is to say) In Barford, Baverstock, Dinton, and the half of Teffont, 

 Hanging Langford, Little Langford, Ditchampton, North Ugford, and 

 Wishford. And the Lord hath within the Forrest aforesaid one pasture 

 called the Railes to his own proper use and for his deer and wild beasts and 

 the said pasture contains by Estimation 60 acres in which do grow diverse 

 timber Trees. And further the lord hath within the said close called the 

 Rallies one faire Lodge for his Tenant to inhabit with a hall, parlour, kitchen, 

 cellars, and diverse other rooms within the Lodge with a garden and Court 

 enclosed with a Pale Hedge and Ditch, and there is also another Lodge for 

 to keep another Tenant and there are deer and wild beasts in the said Forrest 

 as it's said by view 300 &c. 



" And it is to be known that the Lord hath within the aforesaid Forrest a 

 place viz', at the East end and West end and also a Woodward for the Forrest 

 and for the woods of the Lord in Dinton and Rygley. 



"And it is to be noted that the Keeper hath Wood Hennes in all parishes 

 and Hamletts within the Forrest aforesaid."

 In N. J. Hone's Manor and Manorial Records, at p. 43 on the plan 

 showing a virgater's holding in common fields of some manoi', un- 

 named, kine and horses are depicted in the common pasture, a 

 hunting scene in the waste, bordering upon the woodland, and a 

 sow and pigs in the pinfold : also a barge rowed upon the water. 

 Likewise, in the sectional map of Eamsbury Manor, showing 

 Aldbourne Chace and the Lye Plain, at p. 109, cows, bulls, oxen, 

 sheep, and horses may be discerned ; but the scale of reproduction 

 is too minute to be distinct even with the help of a magnifying 

 glass. The custom of filling spaces in maps with animals is as 

 old as the thirteenth and fourteenth century 3fappa Mnndi at 

 Hereford Cathedral, the natural (or prteter-natural) history whereof 

 is described in N. & Q., 2nd Ser., iv., 434. But in the sixteenth 

 century it is very noticeable.^ In the maps of Ortelius (Antwerp, 



' " Geographers in Afric maps. 



With savage pictures fill their gaps. 



And o'er unhabitable downs 



Place elephants for want of towns." (Swift.)
