¹ K. H. E. Schutter's conclusions are incorporated, but his essay is not criticized. As de Lorenzi's work bears the same date (1952) this is understandable; there must have been a delay in issuing, however, as the review copy was not received until early in 1955, whence the lateness of this notice.

² Wrong reference given on p. 139 by de Lorenzi. The book is liberally spangled with evidence of slap–dash proof-reading (see next note).

³ Unfortunately the table giving this on p. 22 contains numerous arithmetical errors. The totals for Pseud., Rud., and Bacch. are 101, 98, and 101 lines out respectively and are presumably misprints (the odd lines must be due to difference of text used). But the figure for Asin. is 185 on p. 22, 175 on p. 58: the true count is (Lindsay's text) 192. Persa obstinately refuses to yield more than 336 senarians (de Lorenzi says 376) or Menaechmi more than 337 (352, de Lorenzi). Although these differences do not upset the postulated sequence of plays, their existence undermines confidence in the author's dependability.
