Can anyone give me hints for my last two, please, and then I can get on with the grid-staring.

37d) A bone left in Stubbs's collection?
??as

34d) Hindu mystic gives away money for unknown Africans
S??EI

Thank you.

Thank you, cockie

How does the series continue and why?
Possibly BEGIN & SEAPORT & DECODER or BOGIE & SEAPORT & DECIDER, etc

Hi

I’m nearly there but a bit baffled at the endgame.

I have Cicero ( a measure)

But have no idea as to the shape of the line or the second or third synonym.

Thanks for any help

Hi novice, I'm assuming you have Cicero for the important leading clue answer from the preamble (I can't remember what number). Try cuckoo and look it up in Chambers for hyphenated "extensions" which should help.

Hi Ginge

I fear I may have gone wrong

Cuckoo pint

Lords

But then I can’t see a symmetrical shape or what the third synonyms are

Lark and Rose?
