⁵⁰ In the Preface and in the Notes of Volume IV of the Archives of Mary-
land, the editors indicate a belief that the pages missing in front were-
removed by Ingle. However, in a list of the pages missing from the-
records which were moved from St. Mary's City to Anne Arundel Town.
(Annapolis) in 1694, no mention is made of pages missing in the be-
ginning of the volume although pages 123-124, 277-278 and 283-284 are
listed as missing (Arch. Md., XIX, 131). It is Inconceivable that the
absence of some fifty odd pages in the beginning of the book would have
been ignored when the lack of single leaves in the middle of the volume:
was detected.
