The greater part of the Peirce Collection, exclusive
of the correspondence, was microfilmed in 1963 - 64.
Upon completion of the microfilming, errors in cataloguing
were discovered. Because any extensive revision of
the microfilm was prohibited by the expense involved,
the microfilm, apart from a very few changes, was left
alone. Asterisks placed before manuscript numbers have
called attention to discrepancies between what was
filmed and the revised catalogue descriptions, except
where an entire manuscript was removed from the folder
reserved for it, in which case, for the sake of convenience,
the catalogue description and the microfilm correspond.

1571.

MS. 473 One page (p. 2) overlooked in the microfilming.
MS. 478 One page (p. 8) overlooked in the microfilming.

the comparison of CSP's symbolism with Schroeder's

MS. 570 Two pages (pp. 2 and 4) were overlooked in the

MS. 574 One page added from fragments.
MS. 586 The notebook is missing, but a positive of it
was made by Carolyn Eisele so its contents have been
preserved.
MS. 595 Pages 23, 30-32, 38 are rejects of MS. 787.
These pages, together with the contents of MSS. 804
and 805, yield some consecutive runs and give some
idea of the extent of revision in the final draft of
MS. 787. See also below notes to MSS. 717 and 787.
MS. 620 A photostat, formerly part of MS. 317, has been
placed here.
MS. 693 One page added to Vol. 3; one page added to
Vol. 6.
MS. 707 One folded sheet removed to L 340.
MS. 717 Among the fragmentary pages are pp. 2-3, 8,
21-24 and discarded pp. 8 and 24. These pages are from
a draft of the Short Logic (MS. 595). Also MS. 1214
contains partial drafts of MS. 595, and MS. 739 contains
pp. 30-32 which are continued by pp. 33-34 of MS. 595.
It is likely that other parts of the Short Logic have
been scattered throughout the section on Logic. See
MS. 903 for fragments of other drafts of MS. 717.
MS. 739 Pages 30-32 are continued by pp. 33-34 of the
Short Logic (MS. 595).
MS. 748 This MS. was filmed as if it were a single work.
Subsequently it was determined that it actually consisted
of several different parts which, because of their
importance, have been catalogued under MS. numbers
748 a-d.
MS. 764 Seven folded sheets (28 pp.) added to L 231;
two folded sheets (8 pp.) added to L 256.
MS. 787 See MSS. 804 and 805 for rejected pages of MS.
787. These pages, together with pages numbered 23,
30-32, and 38 in MS. 595 (which are also rejects from
MS. 787), yield some consecutive runs and give some
idea of the extent of revision in the final draft of
MS. 787. See also MS. 812 for two missing pages (pp.
8-9).
MS. 802 One page added from MS. 1347.
MS. 804 Rejected pages of MS. 787. MS. 805 Rejected
pages of MS. 787.
MS. 807 Pages 16-20 continue a letter draft from CSP
to Lady Welby, probably of a letter draft of December
14, 1908.
MS. 812 The two numbered pages (pp. 8-9) are two of
the missing pages in MS. 787.
MS. 839 Three pages removed to MS. 526; two pages removed
to MS. 536. one page removed to MS. 937; and one page
removed to MS. 157.

MS. 881 The final page (p. 100) added from MS. 278.
MS. 896 The single page is part of MS. 339 and has been
removed to that place as a14r and inserted between
pp. 108 and 109. MS. 339 has been refilmed with the
inserted page.

MS. 922 Two pages added from MS. 919; five pages added
from MS. 964.

APPENDIX II
A CHRONOLOGICAL LISTING OF PEIRCE'S MANUSCRIPTS
The chronological listing includes not only those manuscripts
which Peirce himself dated but also those manuscripts
which the several editors of Peirce's manuscripts have
dated with varying degrees of confidence. For precise
information concerning the dates, both Peirce's and
the editors', the reader is referred to the manuscript
statements themselves. A word of caution: When more
than one year is indicated for a manuscript, as in
the case of the Logic Notebook (MS. 339), which covers
a period of over forty years, the first year alone
is noted in the chronology.
APPENDIX III
CROSS-REFERENCE INDEX: BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ENTRIES
Although for many of Peirce's published writings no
manuscripts are extant, there are among his papers
some which were published in the Collected Papers and
elsewhere. The purpose of this index is to enable the
reader who has a bibliographical item in mind to determine
at a glance whether there is a corresponding catalogue
entry. Only catalogue entries which involved some publication
either in whole or in part are noted. The principal
exception concerns Peirce's drafts of reviews, which,
for the most part, are incomplete and fragmentary,
although a few of them were published. The bibliographical
items are Burks's, supplemented by Fisch's, and the
omission of any item means that there is nothing among
Peirce's papers corresponding to it.
