_Meaning of Pallace_ (No. 13. p. 202., and No. 15. p. 233.).--Bishop
Horsley seems to throw some light on this point by his note on the 9th
verse of the 45th Psalm. The learned prelate says
"'Out of the ivory palaces whereby they have made thee
glad,'--rather, from 'cabinets of Armenian ivory they have
pleasured thee.' From _cabinets_ or _wardrobes_, in which the
perfumes, or the garments were kept."
This meaning of the word, derived from the Hebrew, corroborates the
sense given to it in Mr. Halliwell's _Dictionary of Archaic, &c. Words_,
viz, a _storehouse_.

_Ælian._--The querist (No. 15. p. 232.) is informed that Ælian's
Treatise _De Animalium Naturâ_ has been translated into Latin as well as
his other works, by Conrad Gessner, fol. Zurich, 1556; but, it does not
appear that an English translation of it has hitherto been published.
