^{Note 11 in page 1008} Greene's borrowings from Philotimus (London, 1583) are three in number. The herb Panace raises the dead (Greene, n, 32; Melbancke, p. G3r); asses' sweat is an antidote to love (Greene, iv, 166; xii, 42; Melbancke, p. O3v); and the deer is lured by a fair apple (Greene, ii, 274; Melbancke, p. C2v). The latter allusion is also in Lyly, but Greene obviously derives it from Melbancke.

^{Note 12 in page 1009} Op. cit., vi, 47; Tristium, i, ix, 7–8.

^{Note 13 in page 1009} For the sake of reasonable accuracy, I have compared Greene's allusions with close to a hundred works of reference available to him. In the main, the orthodox material is obvious to anyone familiar with the encyclopædiæ of the period. Some allusions, such as those to herbs imported from the Americas, can be found only in special works. I list below in a classified fashion the authors who have been consulted.

1. The encyclopaedias of the following have been consulted: Pliny, Solinus, St. Isidore, St. Hildegarde, Vincent of Beauvais, Albertus Magnus, Alexander Neckham, Batman upon Bartholomew, Juan de Cuba, Brunetto Latini, John Maplet, Jean Bodin, and Simon Maiolus.

2. The following lapidaries have been checked: St. Epiphanius, Marbodus, Pseudo-Mandeville, C. Leonardus, F. Ruet, C. Gesner, C. Entzelt, L. Dolce, and A. Boetius.

3. The following zoologists have been studied: Aristotle, Ælianus, Oppianus, Theobald, Hugo of St. Victor, J. Æmylianus, U. Aldrovandus, P. Bellon, M. de Thou, C. Gesner, G. Rondeletus, H. Salvianus, E. Topsell, W. Turner, and E. Wotton.

4. The botanies and kindred works of the following have been used: Theophrastus, Macer, Dioscorides, P. Alpinus, J. de Castello Branco, Apuleius Platonicus, N. Bassaeus, C. Bauhinus, P. Bellonius, O. Brunfelsius, A. Cæsalpinus, G. Coterius, C. Clusius, V. Cor-dus, J. Dalechampius, R. Dodoens, J. de Dondis, D. Dorstensius, A. du Pinet, C. Durante, C. Egenolphus, C. Estienne, L. Fuchius, J. Gerard, C. Gesner, G. Linocier, M. Lobelius, B. Maranta, P. Matthiolus, A. Mizaldus, G. de Orta, A. Pinæus, J. Ruellius, J. Theodorus, L. Thurneisserus, W. Turner, A. de Villanova, N. Wincklerus, and A. von Zaluzian.

^{Note 14 in page 1011} As there is nothing to gain by setting forth an extended proof of this hypothesis, I list below the apparent borrowings and inventions of Greene.

^{Note 15 in page 1014} Opera Omnia (Venetiis, 1518–19), ii, 168–171. This fact was first noticed by S. L. Wolff, “Robert Greene and the Italian Renaissance,” Englische Stadien, xxxvii, 333, note 1. Greene substitutes his name for that of Pardus and that of his friend, Francis Hand, for Pudericus. The variations between Greene's dialogue and the original indicate hasty copying by a person none too sure of his Latin genders.
