place applied to the province of Ulster :
^fter the destruction of the palace of
Emania, about two miles west of Armagh,
by the Clan Colla, A.D. 332, the ancient
king's of Ulster lost the greater part of the
province, but gave its name Uladh, after-
wards latinized Ulidia, to the diminished
territory remaining to them, viz., the present
county of Down and the southern part
(about one-third) of co. Antrim. It is to
this territory only, more anciently called
Dalaraidhe (Dalaradia), that the name
Ulidia is applicable, and not to the entire
province of Ulster. Dalaradia is distinct
from Dalriada or Dalrieda, the northern
two -thirds of co. Antrim.

FLORA MACDONALD (10 S. vii. 247). By the kindness of Dr. K. N. Macdonald, of Edinburgh, I learn that Flora Macdonald's present representative is her great-great- granddaughter, Mrs. Duff Baker, 4, Chester- field Street, Mayfair, London, nee Flora Zela Macdonald, elder daughter of the late Reginald Somerled Macdonald, of the Colonial Office, whose grandfather, Capt. James Macdonald, of Fladigarry, Skye, was the fourth son of the heroine. Her three elder sons died without issue. See ' The Brave Sons of Skye,' by Lieut.-Col. Maclnnes, pp. 35-6 (Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1899).

' THE FRUITS OF ENDOWMENTS ' : T. A. GLOVER (10 S. vii. 308). Allow me to answer my own query. Misled by Halkett and Laing giving Glover's initials as T. A., I too hastily assumed that his book was not in the British Museum. It is, however, there entered under his proper names of Frederick Robert Augustus Glover. I find, further, that he was of Peterhouse, Cambridge, and graduated A.B. in 1833 and M.A. in 1837, and was subsequently rector of Charlton, near Dover. C. W. S.

NAPOLEON'S CARRIAGE : JOSEPH BONA- PARTE'S CARRIAGE (10 S. vii. 170, 236, 313). Some twenty years ago it was my privilege to dine constantly, as an honorary member, at the mess of the 14th Hussars, who were quartered at Secunderabad ; and I have often seen and drunk out of a silver vessel which, I always understood, was taken from Joseph Bonaparte's carriage by the 14th Light Dragoons at Vittoria. MR. PIERPOINT, at the last reference, does not give his autho- rity for the statement that the carriage was
taken by the 13th Light Dragoons. Very
possibly men of both regiments were in-
strumental in the capture and the spoil was
divided. But I doubt whether the 13th
Hussars have the " article " among their
messplate, though it is possible that there
were two such vessels among the plunder.
Both regiments were, I believe, at Vittoria ;
but, with regard to COL. DURAND'S reply,
I do not think the 14th were at Waterloo.

A LINGUISTIC CURIOSITY (10 S. vii. 307). If COL. PRIDEAUX is interested in the Catalan colony of Sardinia, he will be glad to know that there is a very entertaining article on it in the third volume of the complete works of Dr. Mila y Fontanals, Barcelona, 1890. Alghero is the Italian name of the settlement. In Catalan it is called Alguer, and the dialect Algueres. The Alguerese applied the term Sardinian not to themselves, but to the non- Catalan inhabitants of the island exclusively, and rather as a term of contempt. It is said that if you tried to pass a base coin on an Alguerese woman she would indignantly exclaim, " Que'm prens per una Sarda ? " JAS. PLATT, Jun.
THE LYTTONS AT KNEBWORTH (10 S. vii. 247, 314). I feel much obliged to your readers who have come to my assistance. Without corroboration, however, Cussans's account can hardly be accepted as satis- factory. Neither he nor Clutterbuck seems to have known about Sir Robert de Lytton's two marriages : first to Elizabeth, daughter of John Andrews, of Weston, Norfolk, and relict of Thomas Windsor, of Middlesex ; and secondly to Agnes, daughter of Thomas Rede (not Reid), of London. Thomas was son of Simon de Rede, Lord of the Manor of Munden Furnyvalle " Jure uxoris," by his wife Joane, daughter of Sir Nicholas Grymbold.
Sir Nicholas probably descended from William Grimbaud, husband of Mabilia, fourth sister of William de Kyrkeby, who divided the manor between his sisters. Have any of your readers the Grymbold pedigree ? It would settle this question. The Kyrkeby connexion with Munden has been obtained through the courtesy of the East Herts Archaeological Society ; the remainder from the ' Record of the Redes,' which gives full references.
Cussans gives the seventh quartering on Sir Wm. Lytton's tomb as Reid (not Rede), and the coat, " an eagle displayed," is of the former family as arms, modern (about 1700), though it had been used as a crest
