We have collated the Record Office copy with the original at 
Exeter and corrected a few copyist mistakes, thus (448b) Hesdinc 
should be Hesding. 
After these, the lands of the Norman thegns, or, as they are 
called at f. 456, Norman Knights, are entered; the Exon and 
Exchequer books follow a notably different order. The Exon 
takes strictly its usual index order of hundreds, the Exchequer 
enters the whole fief of each thegn consecutively. 
Then come the lands of the King’s household servants with 
like arrangements respectively ; and lastly in like manner lands of 
the English thegns, who we take for granted had fought on the 
Norman side, concluding with a revisional entry (493) Otram- 
metona. 
For convenience A fitz B is written throughout instead of 4 
filius B. Inthe identif. 2303 refers to the important Tax Roll 
of A.D. 1303. 
EXCHEQUER FAC-SIMILE. 
This, we unhesitatingly think, is a transcript from the Exon 
Book. Critical examination finds a few copyist’s errors in which 
the Exon Book is more correct. Mistakes and false entries are 
much fewer, simply because the Exon Book had already done the 
more difficult part of the work. It is written throughout by Saxon 
scribes or scribe. There are some important differences of detail 
tonote. The latinized termination to names of manors is rejected.. 
Terra regis is arranged in different order beginning with Summer- 
tone. The Bishop of Winton is put at the head of the Prelates. 
The primary entry of the land of a Baron or Thegn forms the 
caput of his honour, and generally his principal residence, this 
should be specially noted; the demesne lands mostly follow. 
One omission Mundiforde (p. XV., f. 356) is entered at the foot 
of the page, and another Bredene (p. XIII.), another .Gatelma 
(p. XIV.), another Middeltone (p. XIX.). That Stochelande
