This brief statement may serve to show the varied nature
of the collection. The item latest in date is of January 1344;
though the collector would seem to have been an Exchequer
official working in London, his interests are by no means
limited to those of the Exchequer. Like the compiler of
the Red Book of the Exchequer he was concerned to record
historical data of many subjects, times, and places.
M. B.
1 This agrees with the list above, but to make the general total, 67,624,
■correct, they must not be added. The 5000 Berwick strangers must also not be
added.
2 Really 67, with the earls, have been named ; 69 is needed to make the sum
total correct.
3 This is right, if the items be added.
4 The items make 4100.
5 The items make 58,200 (t.e lviiimilcc).
'6 The Book of Pluscardine gives the rough total 66,000.
