college of St. Paul, built about 1541, and the Carmelite
church and convent, built about 1612, occupied after
1707 by Oratorians. The chapel of St. Francis
Xa\'ier, the scene of the "Domine, satis est", built
before 1542, is still in repair. The following either
have entirely disappeared or their sites are marked
only by ruins: the chapel of St. Martin, built shortly
after 1547; college and church of St. Bonaventure
(about 1602); Nossa Senhora de Serra (1513); con-
vent and church of St. Dominic, built about 154S, re-
built 1550; Santa Luzia, at Daujim (about 1544);
church of St. Thomas, built to receive the relics of St.
Thomas brought from Mylapore in 1560; church of St.
Alexis, built before 1600; church of the Holy Trinity,
built about the same time; convent and church of
cans, with Gl inmates; 9 of Augustinians, with 79
inmates; 1 of Carmelites, with 28 inmates; 1 of Thea-
tines, with 13 inmates; 4 of St. John of God, w-ith 30
inmates; 2 of Oratorians, with 61 inmates, and the
convent of St. Monica, with 61 inmates; total, 38
houses, with 486 inmates. Collectively their funds at
this time amounted to a capital of £96,378 (about
8481,000), with a resultant income of £5876 (about
829,000) per year (Fonseca, p. 69). On the expulsion
of the religious orders in 1835, their property, with an
aggregate value of £122,566 (about §610,000), was
appropriated by the government, while the mmaber of
religious expelled was 248. Their missions were
transferred to the secular clergy, who received some
portion of the confiscated funds for their support.

Cruz dos Milagres, built after 1619; Nossa Senhora da
Luz, built before 1543; new college and church of St.
Paul (ah'as convent of St. Roch) used as a college in
1610, church rebuilt later. From the church of Our
Lady of the Mount, on the eastern hill, which is still
in repair, a magnificent panorama is obtained.
Besides these convents and churches, there were others attached to the Royal Hospital, the Santa Casa de Misericordia, the retreats of N. S. de Serra and Santa Maria Magdalena, the hospital of St. Lazarus, the hospital of All Saints, etc., to say nothing of a long list of churches and chapels in the suburbs.
The Inquisition, which was introduced into Goa in 1560, possessed a majestic building in the great square close to the cathedral. The staff (Domuiicans) con- sisted originally of three principal officials. In 1565 there were five, whose joint salaries amounted only to about .8355 per annum. In 1682 their number was raised to thirty-two, in 1800 it had increased to forty- seven. This institution, which had been once dis- banded in 1774 and restored again in 1779, was finally abolished in 1812. The decaying building was pulled down in 1820, and at present only the site is preserved.
From a government list drawn up in 1804, we learn the number of convents and regulars existing imder the Portuguese at that time. There were 3 convents of Observant ine Franciscans, with 63 inmates; 7 of Reformed Franciscans, with 72 inmates; 10 of Domini-
According to the budget of 1873-74 the state contribu-
tion to the maintenance of 1 10 missionaries was £2145,
while the total ecclesiastical expenditure for the same
year was £4955 (I-'onseca, p. 70). These figures include
the suffragan dioceses. In 1908 the total govern-
ment expenditure amounted, it is said, to over £16,000.
Pre.sent Condition of the Archdiocese. — In ac-
cordance with the concordat of 1886 (with subsequent
adjustments) the Archdiocese of Goa comprises the
whole of the Portuguese territory of Goa, and in Brit-
ish territory the three districts of North Canara,
Savantwadi, and Belgaum, besides one exempted
church in Poona. The Archl)isliop of Goa is metropol-
itan over a province comprising the three suffragan
Sees of Cochin, Mylapore, and Damao in India; Macao
in China, and Mozambique in East Africa. The
Portuguese territories consist of the Velhas Conquis-
tas (Ilhas, Bardez, Salsette) and the Novas Conquis-
tas. North Canara is under a vicar-general, and
Belgaum, Poona, and the native State of Savantwadi,
etc., are under another called the Vicar-General of the
Ghauts. The patriarchal residence is at Panjim, or
New Goa. There is an episcopal seminary at Rachol
containing at present about 534 students, of whom 82
are in the course of theology. There is also a smaller
seminary at Mapuca. The total number of priests
belonging to the archdiocese is about 724, of whom
four (at Belgaum) belong to the Jesuit Order, the rest
