At Tutbury, Staffordshire, and little Lang-ford, Wiltshire, are other representations of aboar hunt. Two wild boars face one anotheron a perpendicular screen at Headcorn,Kent. The camel, and similar beasts, are fre-quently represented in manuscripts of allcountries in the British Museum and else-where. We have seen a camel carved on oneof the fine sixteenth century bench-ends ofSefton, Lanes ; where a rider is seated onhis back, and brandishes a short sword, orscimitar. A bactria or camel-like animal is drawnon the famous early fourteenth century mapof the world in Hereford Cathedral.
