. sect. 3 (p. 360).

§ 13. M.--MS. E. 2 in the Library of St. John's College, Cambridge. Small MS. on vellum, without diagrams. The leaves have been misplaced, and bound up in a wrong order, but nothing is lost. I have printed from this MS. the last five words of sect. 40; also 41-43, and 41_a_-42_b_; besides collating it for the improvement of the text in sect. 44; sect. 45 is missing. I have also been indebted to it for the _Latin_ rubrics to the Conclusions, which I have not found elsewhere. Several various readings from this MS. appear in the Critical Notes (pp. 233-241).

But it includes sections 44 and 45, and I have given various readings from it in those sections (p. 240). It ends at the end of sect. 43_a_, with the words--'on_e_ to twelfe. _& sic finis_'; see p. 232.

Some of the pages are very much rubbed and defaced. I have taken from it some various readings, recorded in the Critical Notes.

One point deserves particular attention. It not only contains the Conclusions of
