2 The schema in the Croessmann Collection of Southern Illinois University
(reproduced in A James Joyce Miscellany: Second Series) is almost identical
with MS. V. A. 1. b. Dr. Croessmann's schema "measures approximately 40
inches horizontally by 7 7 /8 to 7% inches vertically, and consists of five typed
sheets, from left to right 8%, 8 1 2, 8'/2, 8, and 8>/2 inches wide respectively,
pasted together." (H. K. Croessmann, "Joyce, Gorman, and the Schema of
Ulysses," in Magalaner [ed.], A James Joyce Miscellany: Second Series, p.
10.) In the "Beach" schema (Sylvia Beach Catalogue, item lb.) a number of
typing errors occur which do not appear in the "Croessmann" schema, e.g.,
"Buck Malligan," "Nenelaus"; in the "Croessmann" schema "Coclepicker"
instead of "Cocklepicker" appears.
