    [195] 270. Calendar to the Inquisitions post mortem, and other records formerly preserved in the Tower of London, Edw. I to Hen. VI, with indices nominum et locorum ; 15 cent. As several classes of documents comprised in the above are prac- tically uncalendared for the greater part of the period indicated, this volume is valuable to the record searcher. It contains references to Welsh entries; for instance the first title indexed is that of “ abbas de Kymer,” the reference being to an entry on the Originalia roll of 6 Edw. Ill of the confirmation of the charters of that house. [196] 287—301. Extracts from the Patent Rolls, from 3 John to end of Edw. IV ; 17 cent. The volumes contain numerous entries relating to Wales taken from the original rolls, but they are now of little value in view of the full calendars of these documents in course of issue by the Record Office. [197] 312. (a) ff. 8-136$. Transcript of the entries on the Rotuli Walliae, 5-9 Ed. I, made by or for H. Powle, of Shottes- brook, Berkshire, with index at commencement. A valuable transcript made in the 17 cent. The original rolls are in the Public Record Office. Many of the entries thereon have been printed by Sir Thomas Phillipps under the title Rotulns Walliesy and also by Mr. J. Y. W Lloyd in Powys Fadog. The order to Bogo de Knoville (f. 76b), to deliver seisin and lands in Kerry (co. Montgomery), is in Mont. Coll., xxiii, 118. ($) ff. 137-138$. A list of the Welsh cantrevs and commots compiled from the Description of Wales prefixed to Powell’s History of Cambria (1584) ; in the same hand as the preceding. [198] 377. f. 28$. A certificate of the death and burial of Sir Lawrence Nichol, parson of Landoughe [Glamorganshire], the 23 March, 1581 ; 16 cent. [199] 412.
