SARTJM MISSAL : HYMN. In ' Feria se-
cunda post Pascha ' there is the ' Sequentia '
after the ' Gradale.' The note to the
'Sequentia' says : L * Quaere post Commune
Sanctorum." The * Sequentia ' consists of
a hymn which begins :
Zyma vetus expurgetur,
and in the course of it occurs the following verse :
David arreptitius,
Hircus emissarius,
Et passer effugiunt.
What is the meaning of these lines ? How does David (inspired ?) escape along with the scapegoat and the sparrow ? Does the last line refer to Leviticus xiv. ? Is there any annotated edition of the Missal for the ordinary student ?
The verse I have quoted occurs on p. 364 of the facsimile of the Missal brought out by F. H. Dickson half a century ago.
ARDEA.
A REGIMENTAL LOVING-CUP. I am told that the 14th Hussars possess a curious loving-cup which is associated with Napo- leon, arid that they got it from the 13th Hussars, who were at Waterloo. Can any reader verify the story ?

HERRICK. I would be glad to receive from any reader of ' N. & Q.' information about the descendants of the Herrick family in Ireland.
I want particularly to trace the descendants of the John Herrick mentioned in Burke (' Landed Gentry of Ireland ' ) as the younger son of the first owner of the Shippool estate. It is stated in ' Burke ' that he received land in the barony of Ibane.
Perhaps some of your readers could help me in tracing the descendants of this John Herrick. J. T. F. HERRICK.

COTTERILL : CONNEXION WITH THE CONTI- NENT. (a) A friend informs me, ** One of the old provinces of France was called Cotterilli after the tribe inhabiting it," and states that he remembers seeing it on an old map, and that the province was near the middle of France.
(b) In Le Neve's ' Pedigrees of Knights,' Harleian Soc., p. 409, is the following :
"S ir Charles Cotter ell Junior, Master of the Ceremonies, knighted at Whitehall 18 Febr. 1686, descended from a family of the same name at Bois de Lesines in Heynalt now residing there, they came some ages agoe and resided in Norffolk, as Sir Charles affirmed to me (Peter le Neve) 9 th Nov. 1697."

Can any reader add anything to either
of these statements or help me to clear them
up in any way ? The information is re-
quired for a volume of ' Cotterell Records,'
for which I am collecting materials.

DARWIN AND MUTATION. In chap. xi. of ' Human Origins ' (p. 133 of popular edition) S. Laing quotes a letter written by Darwin to Bentham to the following effect :
" I dispute whether a new race or species is necessarily or generally descended from a single pair of parents. The whole body of individuals, I believe, became altered altogether like our^ race- horses, and like all domestic breeds which," &c. is letter is not among those reproduced Francis Darwin's * Life and Letters of Charles Darwin ' ; can any one tell me where it is to be found ?

BARONETAGE. I should be glad to know the date and the name of the author of the first Baronetage published of the United Kingdom. I possess the following authors : Rev.

JOHN GIBBS, 1687. In a list of rectors of Emley, Isle of Thanet, Kent, occurs the name of John Gibbs, resigned 1687. Had he a son Francis born 1682 ? Where did the Rev. John Gibbs go on resignation ?

LUMPKIN. This name is represented in the United States by persons who claim to be descendants of an English family who settled in Virginia about the year 1640. am informed there was a Capt. Jack (or James) Lumpkin buried there, who died about 1707. His tombstone describes him as : " The leader of armies, the conqueror of the enemy. Conquered by Death." Is the name still in existence in the British Isles ? Apart from Oliver Goldsmith's " Tony," the name bearing the greatest resemblance is Luff kin, so far as I have noticed.
