antiquary, De Vaines, as being en forme rigoureuse, and which had the bulla, or seals, attached to the rescript by means of small hempen strings or cords; and those en forme gracieuse, which had the suspending tapes of silk or of wool. What idea does the writer wish to convey by a bull en forme rigoureuse, and on what occasions would such be promulgated? By a bull en forme gracieuse, I interpret the meaning as having reference to a document which announces to the various prelates and dignitaries of the orthodox Western and Eastern Churches the holding of a council or other assembly, and requiring their presence, for this end, at the Pontifical Court. COVENANTER'S HAT. Several years ago several large felt objects, in the shape of hats, were exhumed from the peat bog at the foot of Esthwaite Lake, near Hawkeshead, in North Lancashire. Quite lately one of these has come into my possession. Mr. J. Postlethwaite, landlord of the Sun Hotel, Hawkshead, asserted that when these were discovered they were decided to be Covenanters' hats. The one in my possession is made of a soft but coarse felt substance, and is of a reddish brown colour; it is quite flexible, and somewhat resembles in shape "Heath's lawn-tennis hats." It has been suggested that they were placed in the peat for the purpose of dyeing. I ought to have mentioned that all six were neatly wrapped up, and laid in the same position one on the top of another. Perhaps some of your readers could enlighten me as to what they are and why placed in such a position. H. S. COWPer. Elmwood, Sudbury, Harrow. The Antiquary Exchange.
