3 In Hawksborough \\ virgates (see p. 400), I 

 hide and 5 hides (see p. 401) ; in Shoyswell 

 I virgate (see p. 402). As this makes 2 hides 

 ^\ virgates in excess of the amount said to be 

 in Hastings rape there must be some error in 

 the figures, unless part of this went with the 

 adjacent manor of Ripe (see note 5, p. 417). 



* Not identified. S.D.B. suggests Stock farm 

 in Beddingham, which is not in this Hundred and 

 has no evidence to support it. Half a hide of

 Shelvestrode. 



9 This was probably near Felbridge on the 

 borders of Sussex and Surrey. As 3 hides belong- 

 ing to Falmer were in this rape (see note 12,

 manor.
