 the Thibetan Mission." 



" Fr. John d'Abreu; born at Odivellas in 1669; admitted 

 into the Society at Goa in 1684; made his profession on Febru- 

 ary 2, 1702; taught Grammar 2 years; was twice Vice-Rector 

 of the Seminary of Bassein ; parochus Aquilonaris, i.e. , Parish- 

 priest to the North of Goa; Rector of the Agra College, next a 

 Missionary (operarius) at Agra; Vicar of Salsette; Rector of 

 Chaul in 1719; died before 1722. — His three years' Rectorate 

 expiring in April 1706, he must have been Rector at Agra 

 during 1704 and 1705. His successor was Fr. Joseph de Payva ; 

 but Fr. de Payva must have left shortly after, since Fr. Em- 

 manuel Monteyro was Vice-Rector in September 1706, and 

 Fr. John de Abreu was again Vice- Rector in January 1708." 

 The true reason of Fr. Joseph de Payva's short Rectorate 

 is that, as Fr. Van Meurs discovered later, he died in 1706, on 

 August 20 [Fr. J.R.V.M]; on August 7, says his epitaph at 



Agra. Cf. W. Irvine, Storia do Mogor, IV. 143 n. 1; IV.
