^{page 514 note 1} King's College, London, was founded in 1829.

^{page 514 note 2} See A Brief Memoir of the Life and Writings of the late William Marsden, D.C.L., F.R.S., etc., etc., written by himself, with notes from his correspondence, London, 1838,Google Scholar 4to, for private circulation only. [The work, which occupies 177 pages, was edited by his widow.]

^{page 521 note 1} Innocencio de Silva in his Bibliografia gives the date of Almeida's departure as 1597.

^{page 521 note 2} de Silva was under the impression that Almeida only wrote a continuation of the History of Paez, but actually it is a quite separate work. The confusion arose, no doubt, from the circumstance that de Silva was acquainted only with Tellez, who lays both Paez and Almeida under contribution.

^{page 521 note 3} Historia Geral de Ethiopia a alta ou Preste loam e do que nella obráram os padres da Companhia de Iesus composta na mesma Ethiopia, pelo Padre Manoel d'Almeida, natural de Vizev, Provincial, e Visitador, que foy na India. Abbreviada com nova releycam, e methodo, pelo Padre Balthezar Tellez, natural de Lisboa. An anonymous English version was published in London in 1710, as vol. 7 of “A New Collection of Voyages and Travels”. It bears a lengthy title beginning “The Travels of the Jesuits in Ethiopia…”. This work, which purports to be a translation of Tellez, is really only an abridgment. [B.M. 566. b. 2.]

^{page 522 note 1} It occupies three of the fifteen volumes which appeared in Rome between 1903 and 1917 under the general title of “Rerum Aethiopicarum Scriptores Occidentals inediti a saeculo XVI ad XIX”. The first volume of the series appeared under another title, viz., Notizia e Saggi di opere e documenti inediti riguardanti la Storia di Etiopia durante i secoli XVI, XVII e XVIII, con otto faesimili e due carte geografiche, Roma, 1903. This most important series comprises also the Histories of Paez and of Mendez.

^{page 523 note 1} The writing is here obviously identical with the corrections which Signor Beccari has identified as the work of Almeida himself in the B.M. MS.

^{page 524 note 1} The map in MS. K.C. is not an exact copy of that contained in MS. B.M., which is reproduced by Signor Beccari in volumes i and iv of the series mentioned above. Copies of the map of Ethiopia and the source of the Nile were prepared by Tellez, and these were again copied for the English version. I hope to discuss the map on a future occasion, suffice it here to say that Tellez took considerable liberties with the original map of Ethiopia, while his map of the source of the Nile is so much changed from that of Almeida as to be hardly recognizable.
