240 EDITORIAL NOTES. 



have now been hung in the Sculpture Gallery at Chatsworth. 

 Mr. Strong was of opinion that they are English work of the 

 fifteenth century, and it has been conjectured that the panels were 

 woven to commemorate the marriage of Margaret of Anjou with 

 Henry VI. in 1444. A third Derbyshire article is the account of 

 " Drawings by the Old Masters at Chatsworth," reprinted from a 

 book under that title issued in 1902. 



Horns, by Joseph C. Bridge, M.A., F.S.A., is a contribution 

 to the Chester Archaeological Society's Journal, and in it the 

 author treats the whole subject of horns and horn tenure from 

 the historical and archaeological point of view. The paper is 

 well illustrated, and consists of 82 pages. The descriptions of 

 the various examples are excellent, and he has culled much that 

 is new to us from early records ; and amongst so much that is 

 good, if he has quoted the mediaeval forgery, the chronicle of 

 Ingulphus, as contemporary with the Conqueror, it is only a 

 slip of the memory. Needless to say, the Tutbury Horn — the 

 most valued chattel in our county— is duly noticed and illus- 

 trated, but there is no reason whatever for the doubt implied 

 in the comment, " It is possible that this horn belonged to 

 Agard, but if so it has been re-set." The history of this horn 

 is too well authenticated to admit of any question on the subject. 



Melandra Castle. — The Manchester and District Branch 

 of the Classical Association are now undertaking " the excava- 

 tion, study, and preservation of the remains of the Roman 

 occupation " of Melandra. The committee include such well- 

 known names as Professor Boyd Dawkins, Professor Conway, 

 Canon Hicks, and Mr. Roeder; whilst Mr. F. A. Bruton is 

 the Hon. Secretary. Already they are at work, and the mem- 

 bers of this society will wish them every success in a research 

 of so kindred an interest to our own at Brough, and will gladly 

 welcome contributions of the results to a future volume of this 



Journal.
