page 653 note 1 In Notes, J.R.A.S., July, 1900, p. 452, reference is made to an uncatalogued manuscript collection in the Advocates' Library. I have now ascertained that this is one of recently acquired Seottish MSS., and that it does not include any Oriental MSS.
page 656 note 1 I have collated it with Leyden and Erskine—page by page or more, frequently. Twenty lines of L. and E. enclose fourteen (one page) of No. X, the average being somewhat less. With the exceptions, large and small, mentioned in the text, the copies are identical.
