THE ancient names of places marked R. C. are borrowed from the late Dr. Stukeley's account of Richard of Cirencester , with his antient Map of Roman Brittain and the Itinerary thereof, published in 1757. The rest from Mr. Horsly's Remarks on Ptolemy, Antonine's Itinerary, Notitia imperii , and Ravennatis Britannia Chorographia .

[The index to the book then occupies pages 394 to 400 in the 1800 edition.]
