blocks of a fine hard stone, cut into the form
of the coped gravestones of the Middle Ages,
or still more like the tops of Lycian tombs,
and they are consequently well preserved.
The deplorable printers' errors of Xos. 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, must be attributed to the lines being " filled up " from my MS., which was written, as on the stones, in lines of various lengths. My original MS. (still by me) agrees in all particulars with Mr. Cobham's, except in the now missing verses of Xo. 11.
As the Editor remarks in his foot-note, postal communications in the Mediterra- nean have been precarious of late, and so
- X. & Q.' shares to some extent in the
terrible war.
I should like to add to my original note on the St. Lazarus cemetery : The coat of arms of Mr. Robert Bate seems a version of that borne by Bate of Kelsterton, co. Flint. Burke gives ('Land. Gent.,' 1914): " Sa., on a fesse cottised arg., between four dexter hands couped at the wrist, three in chief, one in base, bendwise or, an arrow fessewise ppr."
The coat of arms on the tomb of Mrs. Palmer evidently refers to a family of P. at Wanlip, Leicestershire, from which the modern baronets of that name trace their descent. Vide Debrett, 1905.
In modern Greek occurs the use of "Ay. for "Ayios, as St. for Saint. The trans- literation of "Ay tos into Ayios on Kitchener's map of Cyprus is very much nearer the native pronunciation than the more correct Haerios. The same may be said of Yeorgios or Yorghi, as the saint is called by the villagers, innocent of a written tongue, to whom " Georgios " would be perfectly un- intelligible. "Konda" or " kondas " is used to express " nearer." " Makri " or
- ' makrys " means the " farther " of one or
more places in relative distance. In the neighbourhood of a Levantine village there are usually several churches dedicated to St. George ; a distinction is sometimes made in saints' names by adding the diminu- tive "khoudi" or " kouda," e.g., 'Aytw/a.

REPUDIATION OF PUBLIC LOAN (11 S. xi' 452 ; xii. 14, 88). A detailed account of the matter referred to under this head may be found in T. K. Worthington's ' Historical Sketch of the Finances of Pennsylvania,'
Publications of the American Economic
Association, ii. 2 (1887). Pennsylvania
never actually repudiated any part of her
public debt, but in August, 1842, payment
of interest was suspended, interest-bearing
certificates of indebtedness being offered
instead of cash. This procedure was con-
tinued in 1843 and in 1844. Payment in
cash was resumed in 1845, and no loss was
suffered by any of the State's creditors, except
such as had meanwhile parted with their
holdings. Wordsworth wrote a sonnet on the
subject 'To the Pennsylvanians,' ' Sonnets
dedicated to Liberty and Order,' ix. in
language indicating his belief that Pennsyl-
vania thought of really repudiating her
obligations. W. S., Jun.

This subject is well depicted and illustrated in a cartoon of H. B., published 2 Dec., 1843, where Sydney Smith is hooking, with an umbrella labelled "caustic wit," a Quaker clinging to a post labelled " Repudiation of Common Honesty." J. J. FREEMAN.

SIB RICHARD BULKELEY, BART., OF IRELAND AND EWETX, SURREY (US. xi. 494 ; xii. 52). According to the ' Complete Baronet- age,' edited by G. E. C. (George Edward Cokayne), 1800-6, iv. 207, Richard Bul- keley, Esq , of Dunlavan, co. Wicklow, as also of Old Bawn, co. Dublin, was the first son and heir of the Rev. William Bulkeley, D.D., Archdeacon of Dublin, by Elizabeth, daughter of Henry Mainwaring of Kilkenny, one of the Masters in Chancery, and (though a layman) Archdeacon of Ossory (which William, was the first son of Lancelot Bulkeley, Archbishop of Dublin).
Richard Bulkeley, born 1634 at Tallaght, co. Dublin, was M.P. for Baltinglass 1665- 1666 ; Sheriff of co. Wicklow, 1666. He was created a baronet, 1672. He died 17 March, 1684/5.
By his first wife, Catherine, daughter ar.d coheir of John Bysse, sometime Chief Baron of the Exchequer, he had a son Richard (first son and heir), born 1660, who succeeded to the baronetcy. (See ante, pp. 52 and 5.3.)
The marriage of " Sir Richard Bulkeley and Madam Lucy Downing," under date 16 Feb., 1685/6, is recorded in Joseph Lemuel Chester's ' Westminster Abbey Registers,' 1875, p. 26. In a foot-note Col. Chester says, inter alia :
" The inscription on their monument [at Ewell] states that both were in their 47th year, which does not accord with their ages as given in the marriage license."
