Sunray - in 40d 'take' means R. It's an abbreviation of the Latin word recipe, meaning 'take'.
So you have B for bishop . . . .

Thanks nelson.

I cannot parse 11d.

I have two groups. An example from the creatures group?

Is one group names?

3d, 25a, 24d, 37d?

Sunray, my ignored letters make no sense. The across ones are B, R, A. The down omissions are T, D, N, N, I, E, L, R, R, S, E and N. I can’t parse 14a, 28a or 46/47a so there may be another letter in one of them

Nelson, I too have those three groups. Why do you think 21d is involved in the fourth group?

11d. Think of two sides. then put a letter between them (gag, without the 'goods'.) You then have the singular form of minor Roman deities.

marca:

46/47 could be (N)ation or one in a ton.

nelson, brilliant on 11d.

Thanks, Sunray

marca....
acrosses ...i have the B
i have an O from 15a RenO being the naval base?
and R from 29a as only BA gives the element
R from 38a
I have the A

Downs... Where's the T come from? and the L ?

I have E missing from 5d ?

i have A from 41d? (A)missing da(y) r

Bunty, I think your O from 15a might be wrong - see my parsing somewhere above.
For parsing of 41d I have: A DA (nearly 'a day') + R = end of year.
