Notes: This is part of the final typescript from which the printer set

were then made on this typescript only.
*V. B. 15. a. ULYSSES TYPESCRIPTS: ITHACA
Loose Sheets, typewritten, double-spaced; typed with blue and purple
ribbon.
Title: No title.
Collation: 73 sheets, typing paper (pp. 26-32, thin typing paper);
versos blank. Approx. 27 x 21 cm.
Pagination: Pages numbered in pencil, top right corners: 1-19, page
not numbered (should have been numbered), 20-43, 46-74.
Contents: Typescript of a large portion of the "Ithaca" episode. Differs
from the other "Ithaca" typescripts (MSS. V. B. 15. c.-h.) in
that on each page appear only one question and one answer, and no
more. (In one case, the question and answer require more than one
page and are carried over to a second page, pp. 46-47). Many of
the queries and answers which are part of the published chapter
are not to be found in this draft. The first question and answer on
p. 1 of MS. can be found in a revised form on RH 653.12-18 (where
they have become the 16th question and answer of the episode).
The last question and answer on p. 74 of MS. can be found on RH
722.7-13. No corrections or additions.
Other Markings: Subtitles in pencil, Joyce's hand, appear on the top
of four pages: "street" p. 1; "kitchen" p. 2; "Garden" p. 23;
"parlour" p. 33.
