See _rewel-boon_, Professor Skeat’s note to Chaucer’s Sir Thopas, v. 2068. Hertzberg suggests Reval bone, mammoth tooth, fossil ivory, imported into western Europe via Reval, Chaucer Nachlese, in Jahrbuch für Rom. und Engl.

The garland as the limit of allowable shots is mentioned at 93, 31. This must have been an extemporized ring of twigs in the latter case, and was so, perhaps, in the other, for it is likely that the term would become conventional, and mean, as Mr C. J.
