Notes

At present the manuscript scroll has become separated into three parts: the first and second sheets (39.7 x 20.7 cm), the third and fourth sheets (36.7 x 20.7 cm) and the fifth sheet.

This copy of the schema was enclosed in an envelope with a notation on the recto in Beach’s hand in ink that reads: “Joyce gave S B 2 plans of Ulysses | No 1 signed Buffalo coll. | No 2 unsigned in this envelope” (see MS V.A.1.b.1).
