_Love Charm from a Foal's Forehead_ (Vol. viii., p. 292.).--The word which
H. P. wants is _Hippomanes_. The reference which the Lexicons give is to
Aristotle's _History of Animals_, viii. 23. 5.
I shall be glad to have some of H. P.'s references to Tacitus, as I cannot
now call one to mind. In connexion with the subject, I should like to know
if the white star, which used to be so fashionable on horses' foreheads,
was always or generally produced artificially.
