MS. underDefoulle, p.94,00!. i,1. 15,viz: corpora. Itstandsinthe MS. 'cor A?which should,ofcourse, have beenprintedas 'correpta A,'asinothercases throughoutthevolume. Insomecasesthesenotesofthecompilerwillbefound tohave been omitted when onlyoccurringin the Addit. MS. Thisisdueina great measure to the fact that the Addit. MS. was used mainlyfor purposes ofcollationandfilling upgaps. In some cases, too, Latinwordsoccurringin the Addit. MS. have been passed over. This was done sometimes inten- tionally, on the ground that the difference in spelling was very slight. Occasionally, however, both Mr. Brock and myself have no doubt missed some words which occur only in the Addit. MS., and this is accounted for by the fact that the Latin equivalents in the two MSS. are not given in the same order, so that when many equivalents were given it was an easy mattertomissone or more, in spiteofall our care. My business laymainly ,withthe Englishwords, the Latin equivalents being of secondaryimportance, thoughtheyprove to beofgreatvalue to Mr.Hessels for hiswork. It is to be hoped that some Medigeval Latin Text Society or some German Editor willsupplementmyworkby printingthe Addit. MS. infull. Introduction, pp. xv, xvi: my note as to conquestus is all wrong. The in- scription simplymeans 'in thefifteenth year of the seventh Henryafter the Conquest.' I was misled by the fact that there had been no Henrysbefore theConquest. List of Authorities. The date of Lajamon is misprinted 1305, instead of 1205. SIDNEY J. HERRTAGE. November, 1881.
