These divisions contain material almost wholly relating to the government 
of the Papal States, and extending to 1834. It is hardly conceivable that they 
contain material interesting to America, unless it be something by chance er¬ 
roneously placed here. 77 
Arm. VI. 
These volumes relate chiefly to theology and the monastic orders. Volumes 
112 and 138 were examined without result. The following is of some interest: 
42 . “ De Eccles. in Indiis Oriental, et Occiden.” This volume is one of sev¬ 
eral from the dispersed library of Ciampini, giving a general view of 
the churches of the world, drawn chiefly from the consistorial prae- 
conictA The date of collection seems to have been about 1670. Cuba, 
Durango, and Guadalaxara are found in proper alphabetical order. 
34 . Collection of writings concerning divers Indian nations, is noted as 
having been transferred to the Archives of the Propaganda, but could 
not be located there. 
138 . Diary, 1788-1815, was not examined. 
Arm. VII. 
Records of the Congregation of Visitation, whose activity is confined to the 
immediate diocese of Rome. 
Arm. VIII. 
The first volumes are from the Congregation of Bishops and Regulars. 
Volume 60 was examined without result. Volumes 78 and 79 , from the li¬ 
brary of Ciampini, belong to the same set as volume 42 , arm. VI., giving the 
churches of Christendom, A to F; and in partibus infidelium, respectively. 
The latter phrase at this period seldom includes partes Indiarum. The fol¬ 
lowing references to material were found: 
59 . ff. 76-79. Brief of Innocent X., Jan. 1, 1646, granting indulgences to the 
Jesuits, and letter of the general of that order, on the extension of 
the same to the Western Indies. 
81 . “ De Episcopatibus in diversis Regnis, Provinciis et Civitatibus.” Also 
from the library of Ciampini. The descriptions are very brief and 
the enumeration not exhaustive; Cuba was found. In addition: 
82 . Tax book of churches was not examined.

is separately inventoried in indice 194 , see page 90.
