give Ormond 30,000 acres more than the text allows him, and introduce an item of 180,000 acres which cannot be identified with anything preceding. On the other hand they do not include 1,200,000 acres to the Innocents nor 40,000 to Lord Inchiquin, Lord Roscommon, and others. A grouping in accordance with Petty's probable meaning would be :

Papists recovered.		Protestants recovered.		Indifferent.
40	to the 26	20	to the Church	130	to Ormond
1200	to the Innocents	390	to the adventurers	40	to Inchiquin
60	to letterees	1440	to the '49 soldiers	120	to the Duke of York
360	per proviso	280	to the '49 officers	80	in the common stock
700	transplantation decrees	270	per proviso	100	to mortgagees
2360		2400		470

or in all 5,230,000 acres.

1. 1719, '80,000.'
2. The 5,140,000 acres are found by adding to the 2,300,000 acres held by the Church and the transplanted protestants in 1641 (see p. 136), the 2,400,000 acres of the "Protestants and Churches additions," the 60,000 acres purchased by protestants in Connaught and the 380,000 acres "Of a more indifferent Nature" remaining after the deduction of the 80,000 acres in the common stock from the total of 460,000 acres.
3. The 2,280,000 acres are found by subtracting the transplantees' sales of 60,000 acres from the 2,340,000 acres which the Papists recovered.
4. In S the total '7500' is written beneath the '80,' as it obviously should be.
5. Cox, 'What or where are y^e 80000^a left in y^e Common Stock and how comes it they are undisposed, many adventurers being deficient & many designd to be restord are still excluded for want of Previous reprizal.'
