dix, which is naked at top and bears the pistil- late flowers at its base. The staminate flowers are placed just above the base. In .some of the species the spathes are highly colored and beau- tiful. These flowers are well known under the name 'calla.s.' A eoninion species in England is Arum maculatum. where it is known as enekoo- pint, wake-robin, etc. In the I'nited States there are a number of closely related genera, of which may he mentioned the Indian turnip (Arisirina triphylhim), the water arum {Callu priliixtris) , and the skunk cabbage (Si/mplocnrpus freiidus) . The hatter is well known for its fetid odor. An allied form, Anthurium anclrcaniim, from Colom- bia, South America, with a large, brilliant, oiange-red spa the, is often cultivated. Consult A. L. P. and C. Decandolle. Monographic^ Fha- •nirogamarum. Vol. II. (Paris, 1878-79). For illustration, see Anemone; and Calla.
ARUNDEL, ar'un-del. A small municipal
borough of Sussex, England, situated on the nav-
igable river of Arun, about five miles from the
coast. It has an old parish church, dating from
the end of the Fourteenth Century ; but its chief
interest centres in Arundel Castle, the former
seat of the Earls of Arundel, which consists of
an old Norman kec]) and a newly restored Gothic
building. It was besieged twice during the
Twelfth Century, and utterly ruined during the
civil war of Charles I. It is now the residence
of the Dukes of Norfolk. Population, in 1891,
2(144; in 1901, 2738.
ARUNDEL, Thomas (1.353-1414). Arch-
bisliop of Canterbury in the reigns of Richard
II., Henry IV., and Henry V. He was born in
Arundel Castle, Sussex, the present seat of the
Dukes of Norfolk, and was the third son of Robert
Fitz-Alan, Earl of Arundel and Warren. He be-
came Archdeacon of Taunton ( 1373 ) by the Pope's
appointment, and Bishop of Ely, in August of
the same year. In 1388, he was, by the same
authority, transferred to the arehiepiscopal see
of York. He was Lord High Chancellor of Eng-
land from 1380 to 1389, and from 1391 to 1396.
In 1390 he was promoted by a Papal bull to the
arehiepiscopal see of Canterbury. Having been
banished the kingdom (1397) for taking a lead-
ing part in the first attempt which was made
to deliver the nation from the oppression of
Richard II., he was honorably received at Rome,
and at first favored by the Pope, Boniface IX.
(1389-1404). but prejudiced by the representa-
tions of Richard II., he deprived him of his see
and transferred him to Saint Andrews in Scot-
land. He did not return till 1399, and then was
• reinstated at Canterbury. He cro™ed Henry
IV. October, 1399, and served as his lord chan-
cellor for a few days, again in 1407 and 1412.
He was conscientioush' a bitter persecutor of the
Lollards, the followers of Wiclif, and a cliief
instrument in procuring the horrible act for the
burning of heretics [ilr hrrrtirn comJiurfndo) ,
passed in the reign of Henry IV. (1401). He
even carried his bigotry so far as to soli<'it from
the Pope a bull for digging up Wiclif's bones,
wliich, however, was wisely refused him. He also
procured a synodal constitution, which .forbade
the translation of the Scriptures into the vulgar
tongue. Am6ng others whom he caused to be
convicted of heresy was Lord Cobham, one of the
principal patrons of the new sect, at the coni-
niencement of the reign of Ilenrv V., whose exe-
cution, however, did not take place till 1417. He
died at Canterbury, February 19, 1414.
ARUNDEL, Thomas Howard, Earl of (1592-
1040). An English art-collector, the first to
make any large assemblage of works of art in
England. He was born at Finchingfield (Es.sex),
studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1617
was appointed a privy councillor of Scotland and
Ireland, and in 1021 earl-marshal of England.
In 1630 he executed an important diplomatic
mission at the court of Vienna. He is best
known for his collections of books and of works
of the fine arts, including busts and statues,
gems, and inscribed marbles. It is with these
last, widely known as the 'Arundel Marbles'
(q.v. ), and in particular with that called the
Marmor Chronicon, or Parian Chronicle, that his
name is. chiefly connected.
ARUNDEL HOUSE. ( 1 ) The famous Lon-
don house of Lord Arundel, situated where
Arundel, Howard. Norfolk, and Surrey streets
now unite at the Strand. Here the Arundel
marbles were placed when first exported by their
new owner from Italy. During the turbulent
times of Cliarles I. and Cromwell, it was often
deserted, and the splendid statuary in its gardens
was ])artially destroj-ed. (2) The house of Lord
Arundel, in which Lord Bacon died in 1020. It
stood near Highgate.
ARUNDEL MAR'BLES. The inscribed marbles in the collection of ancient sculptures and antiquities formed about the beginning of the Seventeenth Century by Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel, and presented in 1607 to the University of Oxford, by his grandson, Henry Howard, afterwards Duke of Norfolk. The collection was
formed for the Earl largely through the purchases
of Mr. (afterwards Sir) William Petty, who
traveled in Italy, Creece, and Asia Jlinor for this
purpose. The most important inscription is the
'Parian Chronicle,' a slab of marble containing
a large part of a chronicle of events in Greek
(chiefly Athenian) history. It originally ex-
tended from the reign of Cecrops, here reckoned as
B.C. 1582. to B.C. 264, but the Arundel copy breaks
off at B.C. 355. In 1897 another fragment, cov-
ering the period from B.C. 336 to B.C. 299 was
found on Paros. The unknown writer not only
gives the Athenian archon in whose term the
events recorded took place, but also the niunber
of years before B.C. 204. This inscription, with
others of the collection, was first pidilished in
Mnrmora ArKiidrllifiiio, by .John Selden (1628),
later in Marmora Oxoniensia bv Prideaux (Ox-
ford, 1676). Chandler (Oxford,'l703) , and Rob-
erts (Oxford, 1791). The best edition is that of
Boeekh. with full Latin commentary, in Corpus
Inscriptionum (Ira'carum (Berlin, 1828-77).
The new fragment is published in Mitteilungen
des kaiserlicli. driitschcn archiiiolofiischen Insti-
luts, Athenische Abteilung, Vol. XXIV. (Berlin,
1897).
The nobleman whose name is associated with
these ancient marbles is worthy of remembi-ance,
independently of his general merits, as the first
of his order in England who liberally encouraged
the fine arts, and communicated the influence of
his own taste and enthusiasm in their cultivation
to a wide circle of imitators and successors.
ARUNDEL SOCI'ETY. A society founded in 1848 and named after the Earl of Arundel, the famous collector of the Arundel Marbles and one
