Your correspondent is, no doubt, aware that
Burke's _Landed Gentry_ states the names of the wife and children of
Colonel Humphrey Walrond, and that the monument of Humphrey Walrond,
Esq., who died in 1580, in the church of Ilminster, co. Somerset,
exhibits his coat armour quartering Polton, Fissacre, and Speke, and
impaling Popham and another coat, viz., Per fesse indented quarterly or
and sable, in each quarter an annulet counterchanged. This coat of arms
I shall be glad if your correspondent will enable me to assign to its
proper family.

_Armenian Language_ (Vol. ii., p. 136.).--Jarltzberg may refer to two
works printed at the press of the Mechitaristican Society at Venice; 1.
_Quadro della Storia Letteraria di Armenia_, 1829; and 2. _Quadro delle
Opere di Vari Autori anticamente tradotte in Armeno_, 1825. He may also,
perhaps, be interested by another little work, printed at the same
place, 1825, entitled, _A brief Account of the Mechitaristican Society,
founded on the Island of St. Lazaro_, by Alexander Goode; in which work
it is stated (p. 26.) that "by Lord Byron's assistance a grammar of the
Armenian and English languages was composed by the Rev. Dr. Aucher;" and
that "this reverend gentleman has likewise compiled, with John Brand,
Esq., of the University of Cambridge, a dictionary of the Armenian and
English languages."
All these works are in the writer's possession and shall be lent to
Jarltzberg if he wishes to see them, and is not able to find them in any
library near him.
