[r] For the purpose of easy comparison, the tables of references and the other inscriptions found on the Cas¬
tello and Harrisse copies are here literally transcribed, and the variations in nomenclature, etc., both on the maps
and in the keys, are noted.    Translations of the references are given later, under the detailed descriptions.

[2] The principal difference between the bouweries and the plantations seems to be that the former were fully
developed farms, with cattle, etc., whereas the latter were probably confined to the raising of tobacco or other
crops. The author has recently learned of the forthcoming publication of a hitherto unrecorded letter, written
by Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, and said to throw new light upon the original bouweries. See forthcoming Hol¬
land Society Year Book, 1916, and Chronology, 1638.
