    servand ; Alexander Percy, Thomas Blak, his servand ; Niniane Maw, Jhone Chahner, his servand ; George Campbell; Maister Arnile, Wil- liam Gray, his servant; Maister Babteist, Jhone Pectarne, his servand ; Pate Hardye, Walter Hardye, his sone.—(T. C. R) Among these are found Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 15 of the subjoined list.* November 28, 1560, and May 12, 1561.—At these dates Robert Hendersoun (Xo. 3) was dekin.—(T. C. R.) June 27, 1569.—At this date Patrick Hardy was a member, and must have died before 1581.—(See above, Juno 1558; also No. 2 in the list.) November 1572.—James, erle of Mortoun, regent, lay deidlie seik of rumbussanes [rupture], and war nocht he was cuttit he haid lost his lyff.—(Diurnal of Occurrents, p. 321.) The name of the operator, who was presumably one of the Incorporation, is not given. But it is probable that he was John Chisholm, Doctor in Medicine, some time Chirurgeon to King James VI. He died 22d August 1577, and his testament was confirmed in the Commissariat Court, Edinburgh, 6th January 1577-8. He could not therefore be included in the list. To these things it may be added that in the first page of a work pub- lished in Edinburgh in 1620 by D. Aparisiis Neapolitano, and en- titled Consilia Medicinalia de Conservanda Sanitate, there occur the following words :— Eam {i.e. Medicinse artem) exercent hodie magna cum laude Edinburgi doctissimi Doctores Arnotus, Gellius, Sibbetus, Kinkedius, mellifluus ille Henimannus, Lindesius, aliique. As it is mentioned a little further on that King James VI. on his visit to Scot- land three years before the date of this publication had honoured them with some marks of his royal approbation, it is to be presumed that they were connected with his Scottish Court. Two of the names, and probably also the individuals, are identical with Nos. 5 and 63 of the following list. • The cause of this alarm may be understood from the following extract—it beiug recollected that England and Spain were at this time at war \y\i\i France, and that the Dauphin's marriage with Queen Mary Stuart was in the preceding April. During this hoill symmer (1558) the warris continowit still betwix France and Flanders vary hoit, and likewyse betwix Scotlande and Inglande, quair Monsieur Do sell and the Frenche-men maid coutinowall incursionis, and the hoill nobill-men and gen- till-men and substancious yemen kepid the bordouris and accompaned the Prench-meii to quarteris, as use is of the realme; and thair was mony gret scarmishes maid with Ingland, quhair sindre was slayne and mony taiken on both sides.—Bishop Lesley's History, Bannatyne Club. vol. 830, p. 265.
