The (3) following passages as rewritten over erasure: i. 1019 ff., vi. 545-554, and also the prose heading of the first part of the _Cronica Tripertita_. This is the ‘second hand’ of the Fairfax MS., the same as S (2), G (2), H (3). (4) The passage rewritten over erasure in iii. 1 ff., also the heading of iii, cap. iv., corrections in iv. 1198 ff., and iv. 1221*-1232* rewritten over erasure. This is a neat round hand used also in the same places of the Harleian MS. (5) The passage ‘Rex puer,’ &c., vi. 555-580, and vi. cap. xviii, with the heading of cap. xix., over erasure, a hand which resembles (3), but does not seem to be identical with it. (6) The marginal note at iii. 375 and perhaps also iv. 587, and the marginal note at the end of the _Cronica Tripertita_; also f. 176 ‘Nota hic in fine--intendo,’ and the lines ‘Henrici regis,’ &c. This is the same as S (4), G (4), H (6). (7) Corrections in vi. 1208, 1210: the same as H (7), and the correction of vi. 1210 in S. (8) Corrections in vi. 1219 ff., and vii. 187 ff. (9) Text of _Cronica Tripertita_ and the succeeding pieces to f. 168: a rather rough and irregular hand in faded ink. (10) Marginal notes of _Cronica Tripertita_ and text of _Carmen super multiplici_ &c. from f. 169, ‘Ad fidei dampnum’ to the end of ‘O deus immense,’ f. 176. (11) The four smaller poems at the end (possibly with the exception of ‘Cultor in ecclesia’). The same as H (9). (12) The lines at the beginning and near the end of the _Cronica Tripertita_ (over erasure). Some other corrections are doubtful, as the concluding lines of the _Vox Clamantis_. H. HARLEIAN 6291, British Museum. Contains the same as C, except where deficient from loss of leaves, with the addition of a second copy of the last three poems. Parchment ff. 164, measuring 9 x 6 in., in quires of eight with catchwords, 37 lines to the page, regularly and neatly written. No decoration except coloured initials. Has lost probably two whole quires, 16 leaves, at the beginning, and begins with _Vox Clamantis_, i. 502. The first existing quire is lettered ‘b,’ and this is also the lettering of the third quire of the Cotton MS., the first, which has the Table of Chapters, not being counted in the lettering. In addition to these, one leaf is lost after f. 1 (containing _Vox Clamantis_, i. 571-644), two after f. 58 (iii. 1716-1854), one after f. 108 (vi. 951-1021), one after f. 133 (vii. 1399-1466). This last leaf formed part of a quire of 12, which followed f. 124, at the end of the _Vox Clamantis_. Of these the last three have been cut away, but only one leaf of text is lost, f. 134 continuing at 1467, and the concluding lines of the _Vox Clamantis_ being here given in the hand which copied the _Cronica Tripertita_, &c. The last quire of that book, ff. 158-164 (one leaf lost at the end), has several blanks (162, 163, 164 v^o).
