INTRODUCTORY NOTE
B ECAUSE this Index follows the general plan of that of the Second Series of the Proceedings, it seems essential here merely to call attention to the differences between them. By direction, the references under the names of members of the Society have been simplified and minor references, such as to "remarks" or membership in committees, omitted. Tributes and memoirs have not been analyzed under the subject titles. Various, group titles have been omitted; but those that bring together the source material in the volumes remain, and also the lists of ships and of numismatic objects. Forts are indexed under the title "Fort," and not by special name.
Names of members of the Society are printed in bold-face type; titles of papers and illustrations to be found in the Third Series are set up in capitals and small capitals. In this respect the third General Index follows the style of the second. Cross- references are all at the end of the titles, except the few that follow immediately after comprehensive references to show the analyzing titles.
The Addenda and Errata that follow this note have been indexed under the volume reference of General Index. When this material changes or adds to a statement in the text, the correcting reference is placed in parentheses immediately after the one to which it refers, e.g .: 146 (see Gen. In. ix).
The Index attempts to analyze thoroughly the historical material in the volumes; therefore attention is called to the fact that the key-titles of this analysis are "Economic Con- ditions;" "Geography;" "Government;" and "Social Con- ditions." The searcher is also requested to bear in mind that in most cases the entry of a name as title without sub-entry usually means that it has merely a genealogical or geographic value.

44 99, note. The reference is probably to the third and not the fifth duke of Bolton. Gates was born in 1727 and was in America most of the time from 1749 to 1762, and again after 1765. The third duke was also Charles (1685-1754) and the text certainly sug- gests Gates's relation when a young man, since he was then with his father in service. The fifth duke held the title during the years 1759-1765, which dates do cover the period of Gates's residence in England; but the general was then a man of thirty- five and more, and married.

The Winchester in the text is not the first duke of Bolton but his son Charles, the second duke (1661-1722), who was, by courtesy, in 1690, marquis of Winchester, and who was also a privy councilor at this time and in this name. The text would have said Bolton if the first duke was meant, for he had been elevated to that title in 1689.

On March 9, 1764, Grenville gave notice that he would bring in a bill at the next session. This is the same date as that given below for a riot at Boston.
