Title 1 f. Text pp. 3-216 & Privilege. Page 69 is 66, 94 not paged, 122 is 121; from p. 125 to 176 the pages are numbered 225 to 276, except 174, which is 374. At page 177 the pagination is again correct193 is 293-211 is 111. The Privilege occupies about half the last page 216.

199 pages in small type. The copy described by Mr. Harrisse wanted the Relations des Hurons, although he says, the table announced that 2d. part. Mr. Sobolewski describes a copy of the latter, pp. 1-163. It must have been in smaller type, like the first portion of 65. The copy in the Bibliothèque du Roi wanted the 2d part.

Between pages 18 and 19 of the first part a woodcut representing fire works. In Part 1, pages 193-196 are omitted in the pagination.

H. 68. Rel. No. 6. 2d issue. Relation, &c. as above. The only differences are in the title page. The vignette represents the monogram of Christ, surrounded by rays of light-the monogram I. H. S. in the 1st issue being supported by two angels. In the imprint, to the words 'A Roven | chez Jean de Bovlenger of 67, the following are added Et se vendent à Paris, Chez Pierre de Bresche, ruë St. Estienne des Grecs à l'Image Sainct Joseph. M.DC.XXXVIII. | Avec Privilege dv Roy. |

A woodcut of fire works as in No. 67, and the same omission in the pagination of Part I. In the Bib, du Roi at Paris there was a copy having folio 1 of first part double. The title to Chap. 1. was mil six cens trente sept-in the other trente six-the latter no doubt a mistake and intended to be cancelled. Both these copies read correctly "trente sept."

H. 75. Rel. No. 8. 2d issue. This is an entire reprint-page for page with 74, but with variations on almost every page. The Privilege ends Par le Roy en son Conseil,' and page 166 is correctly numbered. The last word of the last line of page 85 is thus printed with a small capital Bap.

Pages 76, 77 paged 67 and 68. Dr. O'Callaghan says there is a mistake in the Index of this part-in the body of the work, Chap. 6 & 7 form one chapter & chapter 7 is numbered Chap. 8. The index is correct, but in the text Chap. 6 is numbered 8, and that 7 is correct. The titles to chapters show this.

A duplicate (the Lamoignon copy) rather the better of the two. In it page 76 of the 2d part is 67, but page 77 is correct.
