penultimate page. Paper, apparently variety III&. Rather rotten; 
several leaves mutilated ; very much damaged by extensive fatty stains 
and burns. Printing rather illegible on many pages; two of them 
(pp. 10 and 11) being altogether blank, owing to the print on the 
reverses (pp. 9 and 12) showing through. 
Contains its own proper formula, as well as that of the Fifth Set. 
The latter, however, is only found on pages 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, 21, 
29, 32, 37, 40 and 45; and on these pages it is found in addition to the 
proper formula of the Fourth Set. When so found, it always occupies 
the outer side of the page, except on p. 14, where it stands on the 
inner side; see, below, marginal diagram II. On page 13, it should 
also have been found, but (apparently by an oversight) the space has 
been left blank. 
Text printed in three columns on each page ; each column consisting 
of three impressions of the formula; that is, either 
thrice the proper formula of the Fourth Set; or 
twice that formula and once the formula of the 
Fifth Set. As the latter formula is longer than 
that of the Fourth Set, and hence occupies more 
space, it is only found 2| times on a page; 
and on these pages, the lower portions of the 
columns overlap one another. This will be under¬ 
stood from the diagram I shown in the margin, in 
which a be , and 12 34 denote the formulas of the 
Fourth and Fifth Sets respectively. Here, also, the 
same modus operandi of the printer may be noticed, 
as in Ho. YI. He commenced at the top of the page (as shown in the 
marginal diagrams) where there is a broad blank 
margin, while at the bottom the print runs right 
up to the edge of the pages with the half-impression 
of the formula of the Fifth Set. This circum¬ 
stance would seem to serve as an indication of 
the beginning of the latter formula; though this 
conclusion is not quite borne out by diagram II, 
which shows the exceptional page 14, above referred 
to. This diagram would rather seem to show that 
the beginning of the formula of the Fifth Set lies 
at its other extremity ; but then both pages, espe¬ 
cially page 15, show an anomaly in the relative 
position of the two formulas. 
It will further be seen from the above two diagrams that the columns 
run parallel to the narrower side of the book, and are arranged in a
