P. 8. _Add._ 21,245, described as being written on paper, is on _vellum_.

P. 62. _Eg._ 552, 5: el _maestre_ r. el “Maestro.”

P. 63. ” ” 22: the initials E. M. D. S. I. may perhaps be interpreted by “El Maestro de San Juan.”

P. 71. _Eg._ 554, 2 (l. 6): _tuviere_ r. “tuviese.”

P. 72. ” ” 24: _Haremberg_ r. “Starenberg.”

P. 96. _Add._ 17,920, described as probably written in Gascony or in the Roussillon, seems upon closer inspection a copy made at Rouergue.

P. 101. _Add._ 9939, 9 (l. 3): _quæ videtur_ r. “quæ vidētur” or “videntur.”

P. 132. _Add._ 10,251, 25: the reference is wrong; instead of No. 22 r. No. 23.

P. 135. _Add._ 28,792, 23: instead of No. 10 r. No. 20.

P. 162. _Eg._ 597, 6: [Fernando VI.] between brackets is wrong, for that king, who was the second son of Philip V., the first of the Spanish Bourbons, died on the 10th of August, 1759, and was succeeded by his brother, Charles III.

P. 165. _Eg._ 602, 13: the reference to Eg. 602, No. 2, is mistaken; r. _Eg._ 1601, 2.

P. 228. _Add._ 8219, 114: instead of Reyna de Portugal [_D^{a}. Juana_] r. “Doña Catalina,” for D^{a}. Juana, daughter of Charles V. and sister of Philip II., was never Queen of Portugal; her husband, the Prince of Brazil, eldest son of Joaõ III., having died before his father. After the death of her husband in 1554, Juana left Portugal and retired to Spain, where she died on the 7th of September, 1573. Juana was the mother of King Dom Sebastiaõ, born on the 20th of January, 1554, and slain at Alcasar Kebir in Africa, in August 1578. The Queen of Portugal alluded to in the passage was Catharine, the widow of Joaõ III., and grandmother of Dom Sebastiaõ, to whom the regency of the kingdom had been entrusted by her husband.

P. 238. _Add._ 14,017, 71: instead of f. 202 r. “f. 282.”

P. 259. _Eg._ 319, 109: 10 Aug. 1816 r. “1616.”

P. 260. ” ” 128: hija de _Josep._ r. hija de “Jusepe.”

P. 271. _Eg._ 349, 28: after _conde_ add _duque_, for such were in 1643, probable date of the paper, the titles of D. Gaspar de Guzman, Azevedo y Zuñiga. To that of _Conde de Olivares_, which he inherited from his father, Don Enrique de Guzman, Philip the Fourth’s prime minister and favourite joined in 1625 that of _Duke de San Lucar, la Mayor_ in Andalucia, that being the reason why he is generally designated as “Conde-Duque.”

P. 287. _Eg._ 353, 21 (l. 2): Toledo y _Molina_ r. “Toledo y Leyva” (D. Antonio Sebastian), marquis de Mancera, viceroy of New Spain from 1665 to 1673. He died in 1715.

P. 325. _Eg._ 372, 19 (l. 2): Adjutant General r. “Ayudante General,” or Major-General of the French army in Catalonia.

P. 354. _Eg._ 356, 104 (l. 2): plaza de la _Coroneria_; though written thus, the true reading must be Cordoneria, for there is still a square in Burgos called “plaza del Cordon.”

P. 372. _Slo._ 1736. Though the title differs, it is only a modern copy of the original work written by Zaldivia in 1565.

P. 389. _Add._ 10,248, 60 (l. 2): _Montecaragon_ r. “Monte Aragon.”

P. 393. _Add._ 13,997, 39 (l. 2): “Monsieur _d’Espinan_” r. “d’Espenan.”

P. 405. _Eg._ 426, 26: D. José _Monino_ r. “Moñino.”

P. 406. _Eg._ 2059, 1: the date in the last line, 1262, is wrong; r. “1462.”

P. 419. _Add._ 20,978, 5: the date [153 ...] ought to be 1538, as appears from the duplicate of the same paper in _Eg._ 554, 4.

P. 593. _Add._ 10,254, 23: secretary to _Philip III._ r. “Philip. II.”

P. 609. _Eg._ 336, 20: _San Felice_ in line 4 must be an error for “San Felíu” in Catalonia.

P. 615. _Eg._ 1131, 27 (l. 2): _Heltor_ Enriquez r. “Hettor” or “Hector.”

P. 641. _Eg._ 323, 3: the date 1522 should be “1622.”

P. 709. ” ” 28: Mahamet el _Tolib_ must be a mistake for Mahamet (Mohammad) “Et-Tálib” (the secretary).

P. 718. _Add._ 14,000, 22: f. 181 is a misprint; r. f. 131.

P. 762. _Eg._ 2049: the Admiral of Aragon’s name was not Don _Juan_, but D. “Francisco” de Mendoza, as in _Add._ 28,472 and elsewhere. Don Francisco was the son of D. Iñigo Hurtado de Mendoza, fourth count of Tendilla and third marquis of Mondejar. By his marriage with Doña Maria de Cardona y Aragon, marchioness of Guadalest, he became Admiral of Aragon, a hereditary charge in the Cardona family.

P. 763. ” ” 2: me an r. “me[h]an.”

P. 794. _Add._ 14,004, 60 (l. 3): Don Perafan de Ribera. _Afan_ seems to be the prefix of the Enriquez de Ribera, dukes of Alcalá de los Gazules, in the neighbourhood of Seville. Two of them were viceroys of Naples: 1st, Don Pedro _Afan_ or Perafan de Ribera, first duke of Alcalá, from 1559 to 1571; 2ndly, Don Fernando _Afan_ Enriquez de Ribera, third duke, from 1629 to 1637. It is, therefore, quite evident that the duke there mentioned as having received a letter from Olivares could not be the _first_, but the _third_, who died in 1637.

” ” ” 100: Sir Francis Cottington was no longer English ambassador in Spain, having been succeeded by the Earl of Bristol.
