Indian Jugglers (Vol. iv., p. 472.).—In looking over some former Numbers I find an inquiry under this head. N. will find a full account of some of these wonderful and apparently inexplicable performances in the Dublin University Magazine. I have not a set to refer to, but the papers appeared about three or four years ago.

Sons of the Conqueror (Vol. v., pp. 512. 570.).—I believe after all that Sir N. Wraxall is right. According to the old chroniclers, three members of the Conqueror's family met their death in the New Forest.
1. Richard, his second son, is said to have been killed by a stag in the New Forest when hunting, and to have been buried at Winchester in the choir of the cathedral there.
2. Henry, youngest son of Robert, Duke of Normandy, and grandson of the Conqueror, was accidentally slain in the New Forest.
3. William Rufus, third son of the Conqueror, fell in a similar way and in the same place.

Saint Wilfred's Needle (Vol. v., pp. 510. 573.).—A very interesting account of this curious crypt beneath the central tower of Ripon Cathedral will be found in a pamphlet published twelve years ago, entitled "Sepulchri a Romanis Constructi infra Ecclesiam S. Wilfridi in civitate Reponensi Descriptio Auctore Gul. D. Bruce. London 1841." A copy is in the library of the Society of Antiquaries, and another in the British Museum.
