CIRL BUNTING. 501 
on the maternal side, from the family of Hedges of Alder- 
ton, county of Gloucester, of whom Sir C. Hedges, secretary 
of state to Queen Anne, was a distinguished ornament. 
Colonel Montagu possessed a long correspondence between 
her Majesty and her favourite secretary, which, with the 
family estates of Lackham and Alderton, descend to his 
son, George Montagu, Esq.” 
The vignette here introduced is a representation of 
Knowle House, or Knowle Cottage, rather, as it is there 
called, which is situated about half a mile from Kingsbridge, 
and at which Colonel Montagu resided many years. For 
this opportunity of presenting a memorial of an English 
Zoologist, I feel myself greatly indebted to the kindness of 
the Rev. Robert Holdsworth of Brixham, who supplied me 
with the sketch from which the vignette below was pre- 
pared.
