NOTE  The chainlines of the "b" twin were so obscure on the right side in two of the examined copies that the right side composite model is based on only two exemplars.

NOTE  In the article, I erroneously gave this mark the designation BHAND: PA. The phantom "A" resulted from a typical scribal error (mine): memorial contamination. There is a watermark pair OHAND: PA which appears in the "I" gathering of Robert Crowley's The Vision of Pierce Plowman (1550; STC 19906), the first book whose paper I cataloged.

NOTES  1. The pairing of these marks is tentative, and is made on the basis of distribution—since both marks occur at gathering I of SJO—and average chainspace width. I ran out of time at the Newberry and was unable to draw the "b" twin. 2. There are apparently initials in the belly of the POT, but in the sole exemplar they cannot be identified.
