But see p. 46 and Plate 30.] [Footnote 239: _Catalogue of the Boston Exhibition_, op. cit., 1884.] [Footnote 240: _Cat. B.F.A._, 1910, E 63. This example has the mark of Wang Ch´ih-ming.

A somewhat similar use of leaf stencilling is described on p. 133.] [Footnote 247: See p. 134.] [Footnote 248: Bk. vii., fol. 14.
