Decisiones curiae supremae Scotiae - Practicks 1550-1592 (first part = chronological index 1550-1583).
Written by the same hand as fol. 1r-4r, in dark ink. Each item is numbered at the end. Numbers ascend from 1 to 848. They also match the numbers of the selective index entries on fol. 53r-56v. Index entries 524-848 match Colville's text in Adv.MS.24.1.5, fol. 134r-187r. Many entries have been prolonged, in lighter ink, by a user who obviously considered them to be too short. The first 341 index entries are cancelled, because entries of more generous length have been supplied in their stead on what are now fol. 5r-11v. A note in the margin next to number 342 informs us that the text from here onward shall be regarded as a continuation of the text fol. 5r-11v: 'Heir beginnis the sequele of the Table of the Pratticques'
