p. 72, l. 20 _Ex. severally_. 4to 1677 adds 'The End of the Fourth Act.'
p. 72, l. 22 _Scene I_. I have numbered this scene.
p. 76, l. 14 _Scene II. Lord Plotwell's House_. There is no scene division in 4to 1677. I have numbered this scene and added the locale which is evident from the dialogue.

p. 82, l. 10 _Scene III_. I have numbered this scene.
p. 82, l. 27 _Look on this face_. I have metrically arranged this. It is obviously verse. 4to 1677 and 1724 print as prose.
p. 94, l. 24 _written by Mr. E.R_. i.e. 'Mr. Edward Ravenscroft.'
Omitted in 1724.
THE FALSE COUNT.

p. 121, l. 34 _Page holding his lanthorn to his face_. Omitted in 1724.
p. 125, l. 20 _Going in_. 4tos 1682 and 1697 read 'Goes in.' But Carlos, obviously, does not leave the stage at this point.
p. 128, l. 24 _Scene III_. I have numbered this scene.
p. 131, l. 11 _Don Carlos' house_. I have added the locale.

p. 140, l. 2 _froward_. 1724 'forward',
p. 143, l. 21 _They dance_. 4tos add 'with Don', which seems unsuitable as the company are seated.
p. 147, l. 22 _Exit Cap_. I have added this necessary direction, not in any previous edition, although all mark his entry again a little later.
p. 152, l. 15 _the body of Francisco_. 4tos 1682 and 1697. 1724 omits 'the body of'.

p. 158, l. 33 _And wou'd not break_. These two lines, which are obviously metrical, all former editions print as prose.
p. 163, l. 19 _and Mutes attending_. I have added these words as Carlos addresses the mutes a little later in the scene.
p. 163, l. 21 _your_. 1724 'thy'.
p. 166, l. 13 _Sir, I'll warrant_. 1724 omits 'Sir'.
p. 167, l. 15 _that's the greatest_. 1724 omits 'that's'.
p. 168, l. 30 _Aside_. 1724 omits.
THE LUCKY CHANCE.
p. 177 _The Lucky Chance_. On the title of the 4to 1687, we have 'This may be Printed, _April 23_, 1686. _R.P_.'

p. 194, l. 5 _Dudgeon_. 4to 1687 'Dugion'.
p. 199, l. 13 _I have had ... Guyneys_. These words have by a curiously gross error been dropped out in all editions save the 4to 1687.

p. 203, l. 10 _so, I'll go_. 1724 'so, and I'll go'.
p. 203, l. 27 _Then then_. All previous editions read 'Then thou' which makes no sense. The emendation, if not what Mrs. Behn wrote, is at least grammatical.
