TOMBSTONES  U  NEW  HAVEN,
ERECTED  PEIOR  TO  1800.
A  copy  of  these  inscriptions,  so  far  as  legible,  was  printed  (with  annota-
tions) in  Volume  III  of  the  Papers  of  this  Society,  in  1882.  Eecently  a
transcript  of  a  portion  of  these  inscriptions,  made  in  1851,  has  been  found;
and  as  this  includes  some  copies  of  stones  which  had  disappeared  before
1882,  it  has  been  thought  desirable  to  publish  these,  with  some  corrections
for  the  previous  list  and  for  the  annotations.
These  corrections  are  numbered  to  correspond  to  the  former  list;  the
new  inscriptions  are  numbered  in  continuation.
Fkanklin  B.  Dexter.
March,  1914.
