CRUSADER IN YORK MINSTER. The figur
of a Crusader a De Mauley was formerly
to be seen in York Minster (a picture of i
appears in Drake's ' History ') ; but i
seems . to have been removed probablj
after one of the great fires and the whol
or the remains of it were given to Sir S
Meyrick, and removed by him to Goodric]
Court, Monmouth. Can any one give a clu<
as to what has become of it ? It may hav
been disposed of by sale after Sir Samuel'
death, but, if so, to whom ? Any informa
tion will be welcomed by

ST. PIERRE LAKE, BERNE. In a codicil to his will Lord Camelford (killed in a duel, 1804) directs that his body should be taken to Switzerland, and buried at a spot where three trees grow by the Lake of St. Pierre, canton of Berne. I can find no Lake of St. Pierre in Baedeker only the famous lie of St. Pierre in Lac de Bienne.
Can any one tell me whether there is any piece of water in the canton of Berne which will answer to the spot mentioned in Lord Camelford' s will ? Lord Camelford was at school at Berne, and familiar with the district. W. COTTRTHOPE FORMAN.

MR. MEDOP : DR. B. COSE*. The ' Calen-
dar of State Papers : Domestic,' under Oct. 9,
1581, contains the following :
" Sir Fr. Walsyngham, to Lord Burghley. Recommends the bearer, Mr. Medop, who desires to retain his fellowship in Trinity College till his cause shall be determined by his lordship." Is he identical with Boger Middhop, who held a lease of Folkestone Parsonage (in reversion after Thomas Allen) for twenty-one years, renewed to Dr. Cosin, Dean of Arches, 159.1 ?
The ' D.N.B.' states that the father of Dr. Cosin was killed at Musselburgh in 1547 ; his widow married Boger Medhope.
The dates rather point to Medop being half-brother to Cosin.
A Silvester Cosin was presented at Folkestone for working on a saint's day.
I shall be glad of any further information about Medop, particularly in connexion with Folkestone. B. J. FYNMOKE.

GARCILASO DE LA VEGA. There seems to be a difference of opinion as to the correct spelling of this author's name. Fitz- maurice -Kelly in his ' Spanish Literature ' indexes him as Vega, Garcilaso de la. ' The Dxford Book of Spanish Verse ' gives his irst name as Garcilasso. Butler Clarke, Foster, and Bafael Mesa y Lopez all index under Garcilaso de la Vega, whilst Azorin in lis ' Lecturas espanolas ' calls him simply arcilaso. The Index of the ' New Inter- national Encyclopaedia ' refers one to ' Laso de la Vega,' and Ticknor gives both spellings of his first name. What is the best form of the name ?

STEREOS COPI c ILLUSTRATIONS . Wb at is the earliest date at which stereoscopic llustrations were used for book-illustration ? The choice at present lies between Hemphill's Stereoscopic Illustrations of Clonmel ' 1859) and C. Piazzi Smyth's work on Teneriffe. J. ARDAGH.
INSCRIPTIONS AT GIPPING. Can any eader throw light on cut inscriptions in a hapel at Gipping, four miles from Haughley, Suffolk ? The chapel was built by Sir Walter Tyrrel about 1540. The Tudor rose ccurs as a decoration. In one of the coats f arms carved on the walls are two in- criptions. One is AMLA. This is repeated n a number of buttresses. No one so far an explain the purport or signification. Tie other word, in Gothic letters, begins ith a G or C : GWYNEQVBODWY. The
