There are no additions and only one minor correction on p. [72] in pencil. All the sheets are double-spaced typewritten purple ink bottom (carbon) copies, except p. [76] that is a black ribbon top (original) copy and p. [14], which is blank; all the versos are blank, except p. [76v].
Titles : Joyce titled the section on p. [56] "bedroom" in pencil.

Pagination : The sheets are paginated "1"–"45", "44a", "44a" and "45"–"73" by Joyce in the upper right corner in lead pencil. Note that these page numbers differ from MS V.B.15.a.
Contents : The manuscript is a complete duplicate of MS V.B.15.a, including pp. [75] and [76] that are missing from that copy. It consists of a selection of questions and answers (one question and answer per page, except for p. [47], which is a continuation of the answer on p.
