(h) The addition of several new names to the list of the Merchant
Adventurers, hitherto unpublished as such, with considerable new data

probably such.

(k) The general description of; and many particulars concerning, the MAY-
FLOWER herself; her accommodations (especially as to her cabins), her
crew, etc., hitherto unknown.
