| * In circulation at end of May # From 1741 to 1751, the sum outstanding on the Loan of 1733 (49,975 O.T.) and of 1740 (77,000 O.T. terms) was estimated, using the Massachusetts experience in drawing in the 100,000 O.T. Loan of 1716 as a guide with some alterations in the case of the two installments of the Loan of 1740. ** Incorrectly stated in original typewritten MSS, corrected by editor. ## The number for Connecticut was transcribed incorrectly in preparing the tables for Currency of the American Colonies, and the error repeated in the MSS of this paper.
