scribing twice over the same line of numbers in the Catalogue 

 which he was copying ; the whole of which Catalogue, in all 

 likehhood, he had previously drawn up in a tabular form, with 

 the years of the world annexed according to his own chro- 

 nology, that it might be ready, as any portion of it was wanted, 

 for immediate transference to his pages. Such seems to be the 

 natural account of the matter; but, as usual, it does not occur 

 to Goar, who takes the opportunity, which the confusion 

 affords him, of foisting in his supplementary king between 

 the two last mentioned, giving each of these five years, as in 

 the MS., by which means he obtains room for him, while on 

 the other hand he alters the year of the world attached to 

 the thirty-seventh king, so as to make it suit his hypothesis. 

 The following is a view of the last eight reigns, as they 

 appear to have stood in the original document, compared 

 with the erroneous list of Goar. The years of the world 

 are omitted, as being of no importance, except so far as they 

 are useful in the preceding argument.

The interval of time which has been shown to belong to 

 the first Stamenemes, and which was added by Goar to the 

 reign of Peteathyres, is differently disposed of by Mr. Cul- 

 limore, in a chronological table which he has given in the 

 second volume of the Transactions of the Royal Society of 

 Literature. His object beiug to compare the lists of Eratos-
